From Pasteur to Post-Genomic Era: Key Milestones and Methods in Bacteriology

Since the discovery of the microscope microbiology has received significant attention since microorganisms played a significant role in the advancement as well as destruction of the mankind such as the black death. With the discovery of penicillin from a fungal culture beneficial role of microorganisms has been a major catalyst in the progress of biological sciences. Interestingly, there are fundamental aspects of microbiology that did not change since revelations of their identity dating back to the Pasteur era. On the other hand, molecular and biochemical advances have revealed further beneficial properties of the microorganisms in relation to the higher organisms and their functional existence. Microbiology teaching has its own pedagogy and focus again dating back to Pasteur days, however, to be able to skill future microbiologists, new delivery methods covering molecular advances and bioinformatics should be implemented. Microbiology Discipline-based teaching: From Pasteur to Post-Genomic Era: brings world experts together to highlight the importance of microbiology-discipline based teaching with its unique skills based approaches. Emphasizes both on traditional and discipline-based teaching with a focus on microbiologyCombines pedagogy and the challenges faced in the post-genomic eraProvides examples from various parts of the world including Pasteur Institute INDICE: 1.
