why is Bacteriology important to society?

The study of bacteria reveals ways to prevent infections, slow them so ppl have more time, and even cure them. We could all die without it. Bacterial infections are becoming more common as time passes.

Well, I took the class more than 10 years ago...\nIn short, bacteria is essential for degrading the sewage.  They are very important, that's why people shouldn't use anything that has chloride (such as bleach) to clean the toilet bowl because that kills these helpful germs.

Not at all.  Some bacteria are beneficial.  In fact, you have some bacteria in you right now that you could not live without.  It lives in your digestive system and helps break down the food you eat.

biotechnology will soon be the most important job, it helps in everything and it is growing really fast. I am planing to study it.

i think it would b biotechnology...its got better future than microbiology..Infact biotechnology includes a little of microbiology..think well b4 u opt for an subject Ask advice from ppl who have done it..Good luck

No, what is important is increasing your knowledge, learning new things from books, life, and relationships with all people you meet.  It is important to be nice to people and treat them the way that you would want to be treated.  Good luck to you!

Antibiotics are making things worse because they have been overused and used to combat viruses, which doesn't work.  The oversued antibiotics kill off the weaker bacteria, leaving room and food for the stronger, more dangerous bacteria that are more likely to cause grave illnesses or kill people.\n\nThe most important means to control infection is, and always has been, frequent hand washing.

Bacteria, one-celled organisms visible only through a microscope. Bacteria live all around us and within us. The air is filled with bacteria, and they have even entered outer space in spacecraft. Bacteria live in the deepest parts of the ocean and deep within Earth. They are in the soil, in our food, and on plants and animals. Even our bodies are home to many different kinds of bacteria. Our lives are closely intertwined with theirs, and the health of our planet depends very much on their activities.\n\nMuch of our experience with bacteria involves disease. Although some bacteria do cause disease, many kinds of bacteria live on or in the human body and prevent disease. Bacteria associated with the human body outnumber body cells by ten to one. In addition, bacteria play important roles in the environment and in industry.\n\nWe have all had bacterial diseases. Bacteria cause many cases of gastroenteritis, sometimes called stomach flu. Perhaps the most common bacterial disease is tooth decay. Dental plaque, the sticky film on our teeth, consists primarily of masses of bacteria. These bacteria ferment (break down) the sugar we eat to produce acids, which over time can dissolve the enamel of the teeth and create cavities (holes) in the teeth.\n\nTooth decay provides a good example of how multiple factors contribute to bacterial disease. The human body hosts the bacteria, the diet supplies the sugars, and the bacteria produce the acid that damages the teeth.\n\nCommunities of bacteria form what are called biofilms on many body surfaces. Dental plaque is a biofilm covering the teeth. Biofilms also cover the soft tissues of our mouths and the inner surfaces of our nose, sinuses, throat, stomach, and intestines. Even the skin has bacterial communities that extend into hair follicles. Bacterial communities differ in each region of the body, reflecting the environmental conditions in their specific region. Bacteria that inhabit the surface of the stomach, for example, must deal with extremely strong acid in the digestive juices.\n\nSome regions in the interior of the body are sterile—that is, devoid of living organisms other than the cells of the body. Sterile regions include the muscles, the blood, and the nervous system. However, even these regions face constant invasion by bacteria. The body’s immune system is designed to rid the body of these invaders.\n\nA healthy, balanced community of bacteria is extremely important for our health. Some of these organisms protect us from disease-causing organisms that would otherwise infect us. Animals raised in a completely germ-free environment, without any contact with bacteria, are highly susceptible to infectious diseases if they are exposed to the outside world. Bacteria in our bodies also provide us with needed nutrients, such as vitamin K, which the body itself cannot make. The communities of bacteria and other organisms that inhabit the body are sometimes called the normal microflora or microbiota.\n\nFor the rest of this information, go to:)\n\nhttp://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761574409/Bacteria.html

Everyone plays a role in maintaining law and order. Society, in theory should exist to benefit everyone. If we all do our part to make things a little better than they were before we got here then many will benefit.\n\nFollow the spirit of the law (Not necessarily the letter) and encourage others to do the same for a better society and all will be well.

Antibiotics are so successful because they exploit differences in physiology between bacterial and human cells. They interfere with biochemical processes which bacteria have, but not humans, e.g. construction of bacterial cell walls.\nViruses do not have the structures and biochemical processes the antibiotics interfere with, so you throw a ton of antibiotics on them and they won't care.

Good sanitation goes hand in hand with good health.  If you limit where vectors live, breed and feed, you limit your family's chances of being infected by them.

One way that transformation can be helpful for bacteria is that this is a main way for the bacterium to gain genes for antibiotic resistance, environmental stress resistance (like heat or pH), or an advantage against the host's immune system.  Think of it as a big "fruit basket turnover" where one bacterium's DNA (along with its advantages) can be trasferred to another bacterium simply by the cells making contact.\n\nAnother example is that scientists use transformation as a tool in molecular biology.  We can put our DNA of interest into a bacterial cell (usually E. coli) and basically make it do whatever we want it to do.  It's a pretty handy trick, actually.

it is the organism whose genetic sequence is completly studied.\nnot pathogenic so evenif escap from lab not causes hazardous effect.\npresent easily everywhere and isolation is also simple \ngrow on simple media\ngeneration time is less

Why study it?\nThere can hardly be a more fascinating subject to study than the human body. How do our muscles work? What makes us male or female? Why do some people sleep six hours a night and others nine? We study Human Biology in order to answer these and a host of other questions. Despite rapid advances in science there is still much to discover and learn about the body and the way it works. It is a very broad and richly varied subject that encompasses physiology, biochemistry, anatomy and cell biology. There is much in the course to choose from, depending on your own aims and interests. It has been structured to enable you to develop a good knowledge of our core areas, physiology and biochemistry, at the same time as allowing you to develop specialisms of your own. It will prepare you for a wide range of careers within industry, research and teaching.

There are hundreds if not thousands of insects per each human so if you count them, fish, etc.  You have thousands to one.  If you want to count bacteria as animals then it is billions to one.

Well, most elements are important to the human body and industry.\n\nTake carbon (C) for example.  Carbon is the quintessential element of organic chemistry, and therefore life itself!  But carbon finds numerous applications in industry, from carbon steel to plastics (which are composed of carbon based polymers) to the gasoline that you put in your vehicle.

science is just as important as the other subjects.  \n\nWithout knowledge in science, you wouldn't understand a lot of things about the world.
