Jawetz, Melnick, & Adelberg’s Medical Microbiology, Twenty-Eighth Edition Stefan Riedel Lectures slides by Dr. Jose Sapien Chapter 1: The Science of Microbiology 1.1 Introduction, 1.2 Biologic Principles and 1.3 Viruses Jawetz, Melnick, & Adelberg’s Medical Microbiology, Twenty-Eighth Edition Introduction to the Science of Microbiology Microbiology is the study of microorganisms that exist as single cells or cell clusters; it also includes viruses, which are microscopic but not cellular organisms and worms → to be seen with Microscopy. Microorganisms have a tremendous impact on all life and the physical and chemical makeup of our planet. kindaood - The rate of viral infections in the oceans is about 1 × 1023 infections per second, and these infections remove 20–40% of all bacterial cells each day. don't naturally average virussmaller - on aria of viruses -humans not , basterid a lot have but From: https://kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frym.2021.569372 © McGraw-Hill Education, 2019 Biologic principles illustrated by Microbiology Microorganisms, cells, and viruses show an incredible variety of forms and functions, even though we can't see them with the naked eye.

Microbiology extends the horizons of these scientific disciplines. * Cellular and Acellular microbes. - Cellular: Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes (Bacteria, Archaea, Fungi, and Protists). - Acellular: Viruses. Virology focuses its studies on viruses.

Replication and Assembly: Viral nucleic acid hijacks host cellular machinery to produce viral components. Integration (Optional): In some cases, viral DNA becomes integrated into the host genome as a provirus. Maturation and Release: New viral particles are assembled and released from the host cell. Viral Dependency: Some small viruses, like Hepatitis D, require assistance from other viruses (e.g., Hepatitis B) for replication. Parker, N., Schneegurt, M., Thi Tu, A.-H., Lister, P., & Forster, B.
