Microorganisms play an important role in human health and disease. The document discusses the history of microbiology from early ideas of spontaneous generation to experiments disproving this theory by Redi, Spallanzani, and Pasteur. It also outlines Koch's postulates for linking microbes to specific diseases and notes pioneering microbiologists like Semmelweis, Lister, Koch, Chamberland, Jenner, and Pasteur and their contributions to understanding the role of microbes in infections and developing vaccines. Major groups of microbes are also introduced along with their characteristics.

5. Introduction
Microorganisms can, in addition to initiating
infections, cause product spoilage (爐爐む爐爐鉦う爐 爐爐萎ぞ爐

ingredient or the excipients.
Pharmacist must know where microorganisms
arise in the environment, the sources of microbial
contamination (爐爛 爐劇た爐 爐項爐爛), and the factors that
predispose to, or prevent, product spoilage.

9. Microorganism
Microorganisms and Pathogenic microorganisms
The microorganisms are tiny, simple-structure but diverse
organisms.
Non-cellular microorganism Prokaryotes Eukaryotes
10. Microorganism
Most of the microorganisms are vital to humans, animals and
plants.
Only a small number of microorganisms, known as pathogenic
microorganisms, can cause human, animal and plant diseases.
Pathogenic microorganisms invade the host, interact with the
hosts defense systems and result in pathology, a process called
infection.
11. Viruses
Viruses do not have a cellular
structure.
They are particles composed of
nucleic acid surrounded by protein;
some possess a lipid envelope and
associated glycoproteins.
12. Viroids
Viroids (virusoids) are even simpler than viruses, being
infectious particles comprising single-stranded RNA
without any associated protein
13. Prions
Prions are unique as infectious agents in that they
contain no nucleic acid.
A prion is an atypical form of a mammalian protein that
can interact with a normal protein molecule and cause
it to undergo a conformational change so that it, in turn,
becomes a prion and ceases its normal function
15. Bacteria
Bacteria are single celled prokaryotic microorganisms.
They come in various shape and sizes. They can live in various
conditions and have a complex relationship with humans. They
are among the first life forms to appear on Earth.
16. Fungi
Fungi are eukaryotes and therefore differ from bacteria are
structurally more complex and varied in appearance
The term fungus covers both yeasts and moulds
17. Protozoa
Protozoa are eukaryotic, predominantly unicellular
microorganisms that are regarded as animals rather than plants
Some are parasites of plants and animals, including humans
18. Brief history of the science of microbiology
Concept of spontaneous generation
Experiments that were performed to disprove
this erroneous idea.
(爐爐む爐伍爐
爛 爐むい 爐劇た爐∇)
19. Concept of spontaneous generation
Spontaneous generation or anomalous generation is an obsolete body of
thought on the ordinary formation of living organisms without descent from
similar organisms
Fleas could arise
from inanimate
matter such as dust
Maggots could arise
from dead flesh
Flies from bovine
manure and
Fish from the mud
of previously dry
lakes
21. Redi's Experiment (1668)
In 1668, Francesco Redi, an Italian scientist, designed a
scientific experiment to test the spontaneous creation of
maggots by placing fresh meat in each of two different jars.
One jar was left open; the other was covered with a cloth.
22. Redi's Experiment
Days later, the open jar contained maggots, whereas the covered jar contained no
maggots.
He did note that maggots were found on the exterior surface of the cloth that covered
the jar.
Redi successfully demonstrated that the maggots came from fly eggs and thereby
helped to disprove spontaneous generation.
23. John Needham challenge (1748)
In England, John Needham challenged Redi's findings by conducting an experiment in which he
placed a broth, or gravy, into a bottle, heated the bottle to kill anything inside, then sealed it.
Days later, he reported the presence of life in the broth and announced that life had been created
from nonlife.
In actuality, he did not
heat it long enough to
kill all the microbes.
24. Spallanzani's Experiment (1768)
Lazzaro Spallanzani, also an Italian
scientist, reviewed both Redi's and
Needham's data
He constructed his own experiment by
placing broth in each of two separate
bottles, boiling the broth in both
bottles, then sealing one bottle and
leaving the other open.
25. Spallanzani's Experiment (1768)
Days later, the unsealed bottle
was teeming with small living
things that he could observe
more clearly with the newly
invented microscope.
The sealed bottle showed no signs
of life.
Except it was noted by scientists of the
day that Spallanzani had deprived the
closed bottle of air, and it was thought
that air was necessary for spontaneous
generation
26. Pasteur's Experiment (1860)
Louis Pasteur, the notable French
scientist, accepted the challenge
to re-create the experiment and
leave the system open to air.
He subsequently designed several
bottles with S-curved necks that
were oriented downward so
gravity would prevent access by
airborne foreign materials.
Swan neck duct flask
27. Pasteur's Experiment
He placed a nutrient-enriched broth in one of the goose-
neck bottles, boiled the broth inside the bottle, and
observed no life in the jar for one year.
He then broke off the top of the bottle, exposing it more
directly to the air, and noted life-forms in the broth within
days.
28. Pasteur's Experiment
He noted that as long as dust and other airborne
particles were trapped in the S-shaped neck of
the bottle, no life was created until this obstacle
was removed.
Pasteur won the Alhumbert Prize in 1862 for this
work
29. Never will the doctrine of spontaneous
generation recover from the mortal blow of
this simple experiment.
There is no known circumstance in which it
can be confirmed that microscopic beings
came into the world without germs, without
parents similar to themselves
30. There are many references pertaining to
bacteria in ancient literature such as
Rigveda, Atherveda, Satapadha -
Brahmana, Taittireeya Upanidshad,
Aranyaka, Chandyogyopanishad &
Vishnupurana.
The method of vaccination for prevention
of masurika (small pox) was also described
in Sakteya grandha of Dhanvantri
31. The Role of Microorganisms in Disease
Agostino Bassi (1773-1856) showed that a
silkworm disease was caused by a fungus

that the Great Potato Blight of Ireland was
caused by a fungus.
32. The Role of Microorganisms in Disease

of silkworms was caused by a protozoan
parasite
33. The Role of Microorganisms in Disease
Ignaz Semmelweis (1818 - 1865)
Hungarian physician working in Vienna
He made doctors wash hands in chloride
of lime before touching patients
Dramatically reduced incidence of
childbed fever
Met much opposition from medical
establishment, Practice stopped when he
retired and deaths went up.
34. The Role of Microorganisms in Disease
Joseph Lister (1872-1912) developed a system of surgery
designed to prevent microorganisms from entering
wounds; his patients had fewer postoperative infections,
thereby providing indirect evidence that microorganisms
were the causal agents of human disease; his published
findings (1867) transformed the practice of surgery

35. The Role of Microorganisms in Disease
Robert Koch (1843-1910), using criteria
developed by his teacher, Jacob Henle (1809-
1895), established the relationship between
Bacillus anthracis and anthrax; his criteria
became known as Koch's Postulates and are still
used to establish the link between a particular
microorganism and a particular disease:
37. Koch's Postulates
The microorganisms
must be present in
every case of the
disease but absent from
healthy individuals.
The suspected
microorganisms must be
isolated and grown in
pure culture.
The same disease must
result when the isolated
microorganism is
inoculated into a
healthy host.
The same
microorganism must be
isolated again from the
diseased host.
38. The Role of Microorganisms in Disease
Charles Chamberland (1851-1908) constructed a
bacterial filter that removed bacteria and larger
microbes from specimens; this led to the
discovery of virus as disease-causing agents

Edward Jenner (1798) used a vaccination
procedure to protect individuals from
smallpox
Louis Pasteur developed other vaccines
including those for chicken cholera, anthrax,
and rabies
40. The Role of Microorganisms in Disease
Emil von Behring (1854-1917) and Shibasaburo Kitasato (1852-
1931) induced the formation of diphtheria toxin antitoxins in
rabbits; the antitoxins were effectively used to treat humans and
provided evidence for humoral immunity
Elie Metchnikoff (1845-1916) demonstrated the existence of
phagocytic cells in the blood, thus demonstrating cell-mediated
immunity
41. Industrial Microbiology and Microbial Ecology
Louis Pasteur demonstrated that alcoholic
fermentations were the result of microbial activity, that
some organisms could decrease alcohol yield and sour
the product, and that some fermentations were
aerobic and some anaerobic; he also developed the
process of pasteurization to preserve wine during
storage
42. Industrial Microbiology and Microbial Ecology
Sergei Winogradsky (1856-1953) worked with
soil bacteria and discovered that they could
oxidize iron, sulfur, and ammonia to obtain
energy; he also studied anaerobic nitrogen
fixation and cellulose decomposition
43. Industrial Microbiology and Microbial Ecology
Martinus Beijerinck (1851-1931) isolated
aerobic nitrogen-fixing bacteria, a root-nodule
bacterium capable of fixing nitrogen, and
sulphate reducing bacteria
Beijerinck and Winogradsky pioneered the
use of enrichment cultures and selective
media
44. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
24 October 1632 26 August 1723
Commonly known as "The Father of Microbiology", and
one of the first microscopists and microbiologists
Van Leeuwenhoek is best known for his pioneering work
in microscopy
Animalcules
45. Edward Jenner
17 May 1749 26 January 1823
Pioneer of smallpox vaccine, the world's
first vaccine
Jenner is often called "The Father of Immunology"
46. Louis Pasteur
December 27, 1822 September 28, 1895
Pasteur's research also showed that
the growth of micro-organisms was responsible for
spoiling beverages, such as beer, wine and milk.
He invented a process in which liquids such as milk
were heated to a temperature between 60 and
100 属C.
This killed most bacteria and moulds already present
within them. The method became known
as pasteurization.
47. Louis Pasteur
Disproved the theory of Spontaneous generation
Pasteur used a weakened culture of the bacteria to inoculate
chickens. The chickens survived, and when he inoculated them with
a virulent strain, they were immune to it
In the 1870s, he applied this immunization method to anthrax
Pasteur gave these artificially weakened diseases the generic name
of "vaccines", in honor of Jenner's discovery
Pasteur produced the first vaccine for rabies by growing the virus in
rabbits, and then weakening it by drying the affected nerve tissue
48. Hans Christian Gram
September 13, 1853 November 14,
1938
In 1884, he developed a method for
distinguishing between two major classes
of bacteria.
This technique, the Gram stain, continues to
be a standard procedure in
medical microbiology. The stain later played
a major role in classifying bacteria
49. Alexander Fleming
6 August 1881 11 March 1955
His best-known discoveries are the enzyme lysozyme
in 1923 and the world's first antibiotic substance
benzyl penicillin (Penicillin G) from the
mould Penicillium notatum in 1928,
50. Scope and Applications
Concerned with the use of microorganisms in the
production of drugs that has special applications in
pharmaceutical field
51. Production of antibiotics
Pharmaceutical microbiology is
concerned with the isolation of
antibiotic producing microorganisms
from natural environments such as soil
and water.
Many antibiotics are isolated from
natural microorganisms by the process
of fermentation.
53. Production of enzyme
Many microbial cell produce
extracellular and intracellular
enzymes and these enzymes are
important for the success of
pharmaceutical fermentation
process.
They are associated with the
microorganism ability to attack,
degrade and utilize components of
the medium and to accumulate
fermentation products Cellulase
留-amylase
55. Production of bio surfactants
Biosurfactants can be defined as the surface-active
biomolecules produced by microorganisms with wide-range of
applications.
Biosurfactants (BS) are amphiphilic compounds excreted
extracellularly and contain hydrophobic and hydrophilic
moieties that reduce surface tension (ST) and interfacial
tensions between individual molecules at the surface and
interface.
57. Production of vaccine
Microorganisms are used for preparation of
different types of vaccines that have great impact on
the community by preventing from deadly disease.
Measles, Chickenpox, Hepatitis, Tuberculosis, Polio etc.
58. Treatment of industrial waste material
Most industrial processes produce waste waters, salts,
organic matters, which may be toxic.
Many microbial species are used for decomposition of
such waste material and organic components.
eg: actinomycetes, fungi, protozoa etc.
59. Sterile product preparation
Pharmaceutical microbiology plays a major role in
preparation of sterile production.
It deals with preparation of sterile room, aseptic
technique, detection of microorganisms by sampling
and sterility testing of different sterile preparation.
60. Testing of pharmaceutical
Raw materials and finished products:
Test for the detection of Escherichia
coli, Salmonella spp, Pseudomonas spp,
Staphylococcus aureus in pharmaceutical raw
materials and finished products are described in
the Indian pharmacopoeia (IP), United States
Pharmacopoeia (USP), European Pharmacopoeia
(EP) and British Pharmacopoeia (BP)
