Topic: Bacteriology


In the News (Fri 5 Dec 08)

  
  Introduction to Bacteriology
The discipline of bacteriology evolved from the need of physicians to test and apply the germ theory of disease and from economic concerns relating to the spoilage of foods and wine.
The initial advances in pathogenic bacteriology were derived from the identification and characterization of bacteria associated with specific diseases.
Major advances in bacteriology over the last century resulted in the development of many effective vaccines (e.g., pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine, diphtheria toxoid, and tetanus toxoid) as well as of other vaccines (e.g., cholera, typhoid, and plague vaccines) that are less effective or have side effects.

Apart from numerous fermentation processes such as rotting, the soaking of skins for tanning, the preparation of indigo and of tobacco, bay, ensilage, andc., in all of which bacterial fermentations are concerned, attention may be especially directed to the following evidence of the supreme importance of Schizomycetes in agriculture and daily life.
A branch of bacteriology which offers numerous problems of importance is that which deals with the organisms so common in milk, butter and cheese.
The action of bacteria as pathogenic agents is in great part merely an instance of their general action as producers of chemical change, yet bacteriology as a whole has become so extensive, and has so important a bearing on subjects widely different from one another, that division of it has become essential.

Current research interests of the Bacteriology Group are focused on bacterial intercellular communication, known as quorum sensing, in plant associated bacteria.
In the last decade, it has come to be recognized that bacteria behave as a community employing a major level of gene regulation involving intercellular communication organized by the production and detection of small signalling molecules also called autoinducers.
The Bacteriology Group is undertaking research in quorum sensing in Gram-negative bacteria associated with plants; more precisely plant beneficial Pseudomonas sp.

The Birth of Bacteriology at the University of Washington
The latter was established primarily to provide trained personnel for the rapidly growing new science of what was then called "bacteriology," the precursor to modern-day microbiology.
A decade later, as the U.S. entered World War I, the number of students in the UW's fledgling bacteriology program increased sharply as the war created a critical need for trained personnel to help treat the ravages of war, from typhoid fever to tetanus and septicemia suffered by soldiers after being wounded.

 M.A.C. - Bacteriology Laboratory
The early years of bacteriology research at M.A.C. are closely tied to the man for whom this building is today named, Dr. Charles Edward Marshall (1866-1927).
In 1902, the Department of Bacteriology and Hygiene (having dropped "Farm" from its name) received a state-of-the-art Bacteriology Laboratory, built at a cost of about $30,000.
The lab, "reputedly the first building [in the United States] for research and teaching in bacteriology," was designed by prominent Lansing architect Edwyn A. Bowd and constructed of red stock brick (likely from the college's brickyard) with white stone trim, and Michigan fieldstone piers supporting an entryway arch in Richardsonian Romanesque style.

 Overview of Bacteriology
In the 1980's, with the outbreak of molecular techniques applied to phylogeny of life, another group of procaryotes was defined and informally named "archaebacteria".
The current science of bacteriology includes the study of both Domains of procaryotic cells, but the name "bacteriology" is not likely to change to reflect the inclusion of archaea in the discipline.
Actually, many archaea have been studied as intensively and as long as their bacterial counterparts, but with the notion that they were bacteria.
