1. The document outlines the scope and fields of microbiology. It discusses the major areas according to the organisms studied (e.g. bacteriology, mycology) and processes/functions (e.g. microbial metabolism, genetics).
2. It also covers health-related fields like immunology, epidemiology and infection control. Applications of microbiology knowledge are discussed in areas like food/beverage technology, environmental microbiology, and industrial/pharmaceutical microbiology.
3. The document provides learning targets and questions to help students discuss the fundamental concepts and scope of microbiology.
