Cellular Microbiology

The scientific study of microbial cell processes and characteristics is known as cellular microbiology. This field combines the methods and concepts of traditional cell biology and microbiology. Examples of cellular microorganisms include bacteria, archaea, fungi, and protists. Cells can be found in one or more in microorganisms. 

By utilising cell biology techniques and pathogenic bacteria as research tools, cellular microbiology seeks to better understand microbial pathogenicity. Microbe poisons and virulence factors have been utilised for decades to influence and investigate eukaryotic cell processes.

Because putting a pure toxin on a cell doesn't always give you the whole picture, it is crucial to comprehend the toxin's role in pathogenicity, how it supports the microbe, how it is created, and the co-evolution of the toxin and its host-cell equivalents.

Emerging technologies and cellular microbiology models of infection include: 

• Light microscopy techniques
• Electron microscopy techniques
• Cellular microbiology infection models
