Microbiology is the study of microorganisms such as bacteria, protozoa, fungi and similar organisms that can't be seen with the naked eye. The need to study these minute organisms started when scientists discovered the association of microbes to specific diseases. The roles of microbiology on the advances in the healthcare industry, especially in pharmaceutical and medical industry have led to great discoveries, from vaccines to devices. The growth of cosmetic industries also paralleled microbiological innovations, which in fact, paved the way to the study of cosmetic microbiology. By nature, our cells fight microbes that enter our body and this is commonly exhibited by pus formation and inflammation of wounds. Macrophages play an important role in immune system because they are capable of ingesting microbes that enter our body through open wounds. However, microbes could adapt and mutate rapidly, which results to opportunistic infectious diseases, such as HIV. On the contrary, microbes can also help us in ways like the way the "good bacteria" lactobacillus functions in our digestive system.
