The document also includes a simplified explanation of how the replication and multiplication process happens in RNA viruses. The examples are written in a way that will help you organize the information and memoriz...

Microbes are very tiny. But how tiny are they? In most cases, some type of microscope is required to see them; thus, microbes are said to be microscopic. Various types of microscopes are discussed in this chapter. The metric system will be discussed first, however, because metric system units of length are used to express the sizes of microbes and the resolving power of optical instruments

Imagine the excitement that Anton van Leeuwenhoek experienced as he gazed through his tiny glass lenses and became the first person to see live microbes. In the years that have followed his eloquently written late 17th-century to early 18th-century accounts of the bacteria and protozoa that he observed, tens of thousands of microbes have been discovered, described, and classified. In this chapter and the next, you will be introduced to the diversity of form and function that exists in the microb...

Welcome to the fascinating world of microbiology, where you will learn about creatures so small that the vast majority cannot be seen with the naked eye. In this chapter, you will discover the effects that these tiny creatures have on our daily lives, the ecosystems, and the environment around us, and why knowledge of them is of great importance to healthcare professionals. You will learn that some of them are our friends, whereas others are our enemies.
