About the Book

Immunology and Microbiology

Immunology is the branch of biomedical science that deals with the response of an organism to antigenic challenge and its recognition of what is self and what is not. It deals with the defence mechanisms including all physical, chemical and biological properties of the organism that help it to combat its susceptibility to foreign organisms, material, etc. Similarly, Microbiology is emerging as a key biological science. Microorganisms are being used as models in molecular biology research. This research has provided the answers to numerous fundamental questions in genetics, metabolism and cell forms. Microbiology is the branch of science dealing with microorganisms. It is one of the most relevant, dynamic and exciting disciplines in the biological sciences. Microbiology, one of the fastest growing areas of science, is the study of organisms so small that they must be viewed with a microscope. These organisms are primarily bacteria, yeasts, molds, and viruses. The main aim of this book is to understand and interpret the major current topics in the field of immunology and microbiology.
