Clinical microbiology is usually a broad range of testing methodologies. It focuses on patient’s infections from testing to identifying the bacterial, parasitical, viral and fungal infections. It is very much useful in the culture based methods and phenotypic methods. It may include the stages of testing as pre-analytical, analytical and post-analytical. Based on the type of pathogens and their modes of transmission into the host body, a treatment can be implied and varied. Microbiology has various applications in different fields like medicine, agriculture, industry etc.
Immunology is a branch of medical and biological sciences that studies the immune system. It is concerned with the physiological functioning of the immune system, including health and disease, as well as the malfunctions of the immune system. The immune system is capable of distinguishing between self and non-self substances. An antigen is a material that activates the immune system by triggering lymphocytes. The immune system responds by secreting the antibodies which are proteins to neutralize the disease causing micro-organisms and thus protects us from being sick.
A Bacterial infection is the multiplication of deadly strains of bacteria on or inside any part of the body. There are many different types of bacteria that can cause illness. It is a small organism that can invade into our body including skin, bladder, lungs, intestines, brain and more. Pneumonia, meningitis and food poisoning can cause by the bacteria. Some of the good bacteria called innate bacteria help to digest food and protect the body from harmful bacteria.
Parasites are the organism that can survive on or within another organism or host and gaining benefits from that organism. They multiply, infiltrate organ system and make their host to sick resulting in parasitic infection. They normally enter into our bodies through our mouth or through our skin. Some of them can transmitted by insects bites. Parasitic infections can mainly cause by three types of organisms as protozoa, Helminths and ectoparasites.
Viral diseases are health conditions or illness caused by virus. The viruses are the microscopic organisms that can spread through contaminated objects. They cannot replicate it without the host cells. They are made up of with a small genetic material such as DNA or RNA that is enclosed by a protein or lipid coat. The structural characteristic of virus is genome type, virion shape and replication site. Diseases caused by the virus include rabies, herpes and ebola.
Cancer immunology is the branch of biology that is associated with the role of understanding about the immune system in the development of cancer and the therapy includes the process that engages the immune system in the treatment of cancer. This can be done by stimulating the natural defenses of the immune system to find and attack the cancer cells. There are several types of immunotherapy methods they are immune checkpoint inhibitors, T-cell transfer therapy, monoclonal antibodies, treatment vaccines, immune system modulators.
Plant biotechnology is characterized as the precise process of developing the useful and beneficial plants using scientific techniques. Enhancing the nutritional quality of the crops, increasing yield and quality, heat and drought resistance, herbicide and insect resistance are only a few of the causes. In animal biotechnology, molecular biology techniques are used to genetically modify the genome of the animals in order to improve their suitability for agriculture, industrial or pharmaceutical applications
An allergy is our immune systems reaction to the foreign substance called allergens that is mistakenly recognizes as a pathogen and attacks it. Certain foods, pollen or pet dander, drug, insect sting are examples of allergens. The allergic reactions can vary in severity from mild to extreme. Sneezing, itching in the nose, eyes, and a stuffy nose are some of the symptoms we experience as a result of these allergens. In some severe cases, they can cause a life threatening reactions like anaphylaxis.
Antimicrobials are used to treat infections caused by species such as bacteria, fungi and viruses. These compounds may be synthesized or extracted from naturally occurring substances. They are used to kill the microorganisms or halt their growth. Antimicrobial drugs can be classified based on the microorganisms they target. For example, antibacterial, antifungals, antiparasitic, and antiviral drugs
An infectious disease is defined as an illness or disease due to a pathogen or its toxic product, which occurs through the transmission from an infected person, an infected animal, or an object to a susceptible host. Person with suppressed immune system have greater risk for infections. Control of infectious diseases aimed at actions and programmes towards reducing the incidence of new infectious diseases, reducing the prevalence by shortening the duration of infectious disease and reducing or eliminating the long term impairments.
In a mechanism known as binary fission, bacterial growth is the Rapid replication of a bacterium, resulting in an increase in the number of bacteria in a population than the size of the cells. The daughter cells that results are genetically identical to the parent cell. The time taken for the growth of bacteria to develop may vary by the environmental conditions and nature of the bacterial species. The composition of the growth medium is also an important factor for controlling the growth rate.
Environmental microbiology is that the study of microorganisms within the environment, microbial communities and interactions. Here the environment means air, soil, water and sediments covering the planet and can also include the animals and plants that inhabit these areas.
Veterinary microbiology is that the study of microorganisms that cause infectious disease in domesticated vertebrate animal species. These disease causing agents include virus, bacteria and parasites. Veterinary microbiology deals with the ethics, epidemiology, animal husbandry, diary technology and infection control
Pharmaceutical microbiology is that the study of microorganisms that deals with the manufacture of pharmaceutical. It includes the research and development of anti-infective agents, use of microorganism to detect mutagens and carcinogen activity in drugs. Drug safety is the major focus of pharmaceutical microbiology.
Immune deficiency is a state where the immune system ability to fight against the infectious diseases is compromised or entirely absent. Thus it is also known as immunocompromisation. It is of two types as Primary immunodeficiency caused by genetic factors and secondary immunodeficiency as a result of environmental factors such as HIV/AIDS or malnutrition. It treatment includes antibiotics and immunoglobulin therapy.
Autoimmunity is a condition in which the immune system destroys its own healthy cells, tissues and other normal body constituents by releasing the protein called autoantibody. The common autoimmune disorders include Addison disease, Graves’ disease, multiple sclerosis, pernicious anemia.
Neuroimmunology is the field of neurology and immunology, fundamental and applied biology chemistry. It is the study of neuroscience and immune system. The interaction of the nervous system and immune system during development, homeostasis and response to the injuries is been developing to treat or prevent theneuroimmunological diseases. Stem cell immunology is the branch of immunology that deals with the Methods to rejuvenate cancer fighting immune cells and strengthens the ability of the ageing cells.
Immunology evolution involves the study of evolution of immune system and immunity over these years. These studies include relationship between nonspecific (innate immunity) and specific (acquired immunity), how graft rejection occurs, occurrence and development of T and B cells of the immunity.
Inhalation of droplets allows organisms to enter the respiratory system and infect the mucosa. Redness, edoema, bleeding, and occasionally an exudate may occur as a result of epithelial damage. Clinically, common colds may generally be distinguished. For pharyngitis, epiglottitis, and laryngotracheitis, bacterial and viral cultures of throat swab specimens are utilised. In instances of epiglottitis, blood cultures are also taken. Symptomatic treatment is used for viral infections. Antibacterials are used to treat streptococcal pharyngitis and epiglottitis caused by H influenzae.
