Microbiology Research Paper

Introduction: Microbiology is the study of all living microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, protozoans…etc, and non-living microorganisms like viruses, viroids and prions. The significance of identifying an unknown microorganism is first to understand what type of organism it is and what structures it has to help figure out their potential benefit, danger or even neutrality to humans. Physicians benefit from this by identifying what their patients are suffering from and how to treat them. Also to figure out if the patient have contracted a new disease causing microorganism, which then need to be studied to find a way to contain it and potentially find a treatment or cure for it before it spread to effecting other people and cause more damage to the population. Microorganisms are also responsible for diseases in animals and plans, which humans heavily rely on for survival. …show more content…
They can be the way to prepare and have an effective action in response to an invasive strain. In addition, microorganisms are constantly changing due to their fast mutation rate. Identifying new strains, helps avoid any threats that they may impose on the population.
This project helps to learn the proper steps, methods and techniques used to accurately identify a bacterium and learning so much about it through its biochemical reactions. This help to prepare for real life identification of bacteria in a relevant work place. In this project the organism morphology, microscopic morphology and biochemical reactions is studied to help identify the organism.
