    Medical Microbiology

    • Focuses on microorganisms that cause infectious diseases in humans, and how humans respond to these infections.
    • Studies organisms too small to be seen without a microscope.
    • These organisms are single-celled (unicellular) or clustered (multicellular).
    • Includes eukaryotes, prokaryotes, viruses, and prions.
