Introduction to the Microbial World; History of Microbiology By: Case Assignment Module 1 MIC 100: TUI University Date: March 17‚ 2013 In response to the web site article about Edward Jenner‚ I believe the author paid an over emphasis on the how the discovery of the small pox vaccine was the greatest of public health achievements of all times. But I am of a different opinion. I believe that despite this great contribution‚ Edward Jenner does not deserve the greater credit in his

I’m writing you to express my interest in becoming a member of the ASM Task Committee on Microbiology in Nursing. Although I’m not from the United States of America‚ I think this committee might profit from an European perspective and my experience‚ so I will use this opportunity to quickly introduce myself. I’m a medical doctor and clinical microbiologist with a PhD in biomedical sciences‚ and after my doctoral degree I quickly became an assistant professor at the Department for Biomedical Sciences

Negative Externalities We live and work in a world driven by a fossil fueled economy. Our cars and other dominant forms of transport run primarily on gasoline derived from oil. Our homes and work places stay heated and cooled using electricity generated by utilities heavily dependent on coal. Many air pollution issues such as climate change‚ acid rain and smog are directly related to our energy choices. Solutions to air quality issues range from calls for greater energy efficiency to increased

M. GR~SCHEL Walther Hesse was a well-known community health physician in the Kingdom of Saxony‚ a student of Max von Pettenkofer‚ the father of hygiene‚ and of Robert Koch‚ the father of medical microbiology. His American wife‚ Fanny Angelina‚ introduced agar-agar to the new science of microbiology. The Hesse Family Walther Hesse‚ a descendent of a Saxon family from Bischofswerda‚ was born on 27 December 1846 as the third of 12 children of Friedrich Wilhelm Hesse‚ the Bezirksarzt‚ or county

Safety in a microbiology laboratory is important in the prevention of infection that might be caused by the microorganisms being studied. This laboratory does not require the use of virulent human pathogens. However‚ many types of microorganisms are potentially pathogenic. This means that‚ although they would not cause disease in a normal healthy host‚ they might possibly do so if a large enough quantity of the microbes came into contact with a compromised host‚ such as by wounds and cuts.
