The Microbiology Basics and Microbiology Principles is a must-read pharma article/ guidance to know about Microbiology in Pharma Industry.
Microbiology Basics and Definitions
Microbiology is the study of microscopic organisms, which are defined as any living organism that is either a single cell (unicellular), a cell cluster, or has no cells at all (acellular). This includes eukaryotes, such as fungi and protists, and prokaryotes.
History of Microbiology
The first person to report seeing microbes under the microscope was an Englishman, Robert Hooke. Working with a crude compound microscope he saw the cellular structure of plants around 1665. He also saw fungi which he drew.
Anton van Leeuwenhoek was a man born before his time. Although not the FIRST TO DISCOVER THE MICROSCOPE or to use a magnifying lens, he was the first to see and describe bacteria.
