Microbiology is a study, in which microorganisms are used to synthesize a number of products valuable to human beings that have profoundly changed our lives. These products include beverages, food additives, products for human and animal health, and biofuels. Environmental microbiology, Agricultural microbiology, Veterinary microbiology, Molecular genetics, Medical microbiology and virology and Pharmaceutical microbiology are considered to be sub field of microbiology. These disciplines include study of: Air microbiology, soil microbiology and water microbiology drive yield and productivity in a sustainable way Bacterial and viral diseases of domesticated vertebrate animals (livestock, companion animals, fur-bearing animals, game, poultry. Recombinant DNA techniques to manipulate genetic information within and between plants, animals and microorganisms to produce genetically modified organisms diagnosis, Treatment and prevention of the spread of infection in hospitals and the community. Understanding with regards to the significance of the presence of bacteria, yeasts, molds, viruses and toxins in pharmaceutical raw materials, intermediates, products and pharmaceutical production environments.
