Bacteriology is the science that studies bacteria, the etymological origin of the term is Latin in which "Bacteria" means "Small Animals" and "Logos" "Study". Bacteriology is a very extensive science, its study is almost infinite due to the millions of types of bacteria that have not yet been discovered or that have not manifested in multicellular organisms. However, bacteriology, as part of the microbiology studies carried out in medical and scientific institutes, is focused on issues of social importance that we will describe below.
Bacteria can only be seen through a microscope, a device invented in the mid-nineteenth century designed to observe what cannot be seen with the human eye.
Bacteriology is in charge of classifying these microorganisms in various ways, in the field of medicine, they are divided into those that are dangerous for living beings and those that are not, a study is carried out in which the dangers are established, and cures against a possible infection. Pharmaceuticals also play a fundamental role in the study of bacteria, they can be classified for optimization in the manufacture of medicines that fight viruses and diseases.
Pathology is another field of medicine that uses bacteriology as a tool. The presence of these types of microorganisms that cannot be considered as carriers of their own life, can lead to the investigation of a death or the discovery of a new condition. It all depends on the condition of the tissue in which the bacteria is.
