Microbiology - Specialized area of biology that deals with organisms ordinarily too small to be seen without magnification. Microorganisms - A living thing ordinarily too small to be seen without magnification. Classification - Orderly arrangement of organisms into groups. Nomenclature - System of assigning names. Binomial nomenclature - Two-name system of naming organisms (Latin, Greek). Two names: Genus, species. It's always underlined or italicized. Genus first let...

Microbiology - the science that studies living organisms that cannot be seen with the naked eye. Pathogen - a disease-producing microorganism Aerobic microbes - microbes that can only live in the presence of oxygen Anaerobic microbes - Microbes that grow best in the absence of oxygen Antiseptics - Solutions that are applied directly to the skin and prevent or slow the growth of pathogens. Disinfection - A process that uses strong chemicals such as bleach solution...
