The study of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and algae.

Tiny living organisms that can only be seen with a microscope.

Microorganisms that cause diseases in hosts.

The scientist who first used a microscope to observe microbes.

Classification of microbes into six categories including bacteria and fungi.

Prokaryotic organisms that can survive in various environments with diverse structures.

Eukaryotic organisms with cell walls that obtain nutrients from other organisms.

Single-celled eukaryotic organisms, often motile and feed on organic material.

Includes ailments like ringworm, athlete’s foot, and candidiasis.

Includes malaria, giardiasis, and toxoplasmosis.

Includes anthrax, cholera, and tuberculosis.

Includes HIV, hepatitis, and the flu.

Bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotic microbes that live in and on our bodies.

Aims to identify and characterize all microbes in the human body.

Also known as the Father of Microbiology; developed pasteurization and germ theory.

The discredited theory that living things can arise from nonliving matter.

Multicellular parasites including roundworms and flatworms.

A type of helminth, commonly known as roundworms, often parasitic.

Obligate intracellular pathogens that contain protein and genetic material, needing a host to replicate.

Diseases transmitted from animals to humans, often involving viruses.

Infectious protein particles that cause misfolding of normal proteins, leading to brain damage.

A degenerative brain disease caused by prions, generally fatal.

Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus; prokaryotic cells do not (bacteria, archaea).

Unicellular organisms consist of one cell; multicellular organisms are composed of multiple cells.

A metabolic process converting sugar to acids or alcohol, often used in food production.

Process of heating liquids to kill most bacteria to prevent spoilage.

The intentional use of microbes in manufacturing products.

Theory stating that specific pathogens cause infectious diseases.

Scientist who established methods for identifying disease-causing bacteria.

A series of steps to identify the causative agent of infectious diseases.

A series of criteria to establish a causative relationship between a microbe and a disease.

The study of causative agents of diseases.

The same organism must be present in every case of the disease but not in healthy individuals.

The organism must be isolated from the diseased host and grown as a pure culture.

The isolated organism should cause the disease when inoculated into a susceptible host.

The organism must then be re-isolated from the inoculated, diseased animal.

A differential staining technique to classify bacteria as gram-positive or gram-negative.

Bacteria that retain the crystal violet stain and appear purple.

Infections acquired during medical treatment in healthcare facilities.

Methods used to prevent the spread of infection in medical settings.

Infections acquired by patients during medical treatment, often preventable by aseptic techniques.

The practice of cleaning hands to remove dirt, bacteria, and viruses.

The process of eliminating all microbial life from medical tools.

The study of genes and their functions in microorganisms.

A method to manipulate DNA for practical uses, such as gene therapy.

The use of living organisms to detoxify polluted environments.

Chemical reactions occurring in living organisms for energy and growth.
