Fundamental principles of Microbiology

Microbiology is a branch of biological science and includes the study of microscopic living beings both plant and animal such as bacteria. Bacteria belongs to a group of living organisms known as microbes without distinction regarding whether they are plants or animal. They are so called because of their small size. The study of micro organisms is a basic prerequisite because bacteria resume as living models.
