Microbiology Medical

Medical microbiology is a branch of microbiology that studies pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic microorganisms for humans, as well as the patterns of their interaction with the human body and animals.

Main directions of medical microbiology:

  1. Study of the morphology, physiology and biochemistry of pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms.

  2. Study of the mechanisms of pathogenicity and virulence factors (the ability to cause disease) of microbes.

  3. Development of methods for laboratory diagnosis of infectious diseases.

  4. Study of the epidemiology of infections, routes and factors of transmission of pathogens.

  5. Development and production of vaccines, bacteriophages, immunoglobulins and other means for the specific prevention and treatment of infections.

  6. Study of the resistance of microorganisms to antibiotics and chemotherapy.

  7. Study of the microflora of the human body under normal conditions and in pathological processes.

Thus, medical microbiology plays a key role in the study of infectious diseases and the development of methods to combat them.



Modern scientific medicine is a set of scientific methods and practical treatment of various kinds of diseases, health monitoring and diagnosis of pathologies, by means of analyzing the data obtained, in order to predict complications during therapy and complications to prevent the development of ailments. When developing methods and drugs for the treatment of many diseases, the results of research and the study of physiological phenomena in the human body are taken into account. Therefore, for the patient’s successful recovery, it is necessary to take into account all possible causes of painful manifestations of the body.

Unfortunately, for a number of reasons, scientists and doctors are not yet able to completely take control of all vital processes occurring in the human body. One of the most important organs of our body is the microscopic organisms of bacteria and viruses that cause various ailments in humans. A microbiologist who describes ways to restore people with various pathologies that are caused by microorganisms. Specialists study the life of microorganisms, the molecular structure of their molecules and the processes associated with the development of the disease. The most active biological research takes place in Moscow. Microbiologists analyze a large number of biological and medical research centers and analyze the spectrum of diseases from various types of microorganisms. For example, vibrios cause acute intestinal infections, the meningus pathogen provokes inflammatory processes in the meninges of people.

The lack of understanding of human physiology and the diversity of immune reactions allow pathogens to
