Introduction History Headquarters Membership ... Educational resources for schools A Short History of the SGM The Early Days The Society for General Microbiology was formally inaugurated on 16 February 1945, at a meeting of Original Members in London. Sir Alexander Fleming was elected as the first President. SGM had its origins in the (then) Society of Agricultural Bacteriologists: a number of members of that society had wished to see a broadening of its interests and scope beyond agriculture, to embrace virology, medical and agricultural bacteriology, protozoology and mycology. The idea was to bring members from different backgrounds together to gain the benefits of interdisciplinary discussion and learning from each other. This aim of the founders is still, after more than half a century, central to the ethos of SGM. It underlies the growth of the Society, from 241 Original Members, to its present position as the largest microbiological learned society in Europe, with a total membership of over 5000. Scientific Meetings and Groups The first scientific meeting of the Society took place in Cambridge in July 1945, and in 1946 the first of the continuing series of spring Symposia was held. Meetings were also held in autumn and, from 1963, winter. This programme of three main meetings per year continued until 2001, when the winter meeting was dropped. The spring and autumn meetings increased in size, with many parallel sessions.There has been further development of more specialized events such as regional meetings and advanced training workshops, and joint meetings with other societies.

History of the Department of Bacteriology University of Wisconsin-Madison Early Instruction The first UW Bacteriology class taught in 1881-83 by Professor William Trealease, who incorporated bacteriology into the general botany course. This is believed to be the first bacteriology class taught at any American university. Professor Edward Birge (Botany) organized the first formal course in bacteriology in 1886. Establishment of the department and location 1914 Dept of Agricultural Bacteriology was formally established with E. G. Hastings as the first chair. 1947 Departmental name was changed from Agricultural Bacteriology to Bacteriology. The early bacteriologists were housed in South Hall. In 1903 Agriculture Hall was completed and the group moved there. The current bacteriology building was occupied in 1955.

Financial Aid Research History Research and teaching in immunology and infectious diseases have been integral parts of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health since its foundation in 1916 by William Henry Welch. The roots of the present department can be traced to the Department of Bacteriology, headed by Welch himself, to the nation's first separate Department of Immunology, also created by Welch, and to the Department of Medical Zoology, which has trained many of the country's leading investigators in parasitology and medical entomology. In 1922, Charles Simon introduced the first course in virology in the School. In 1953, many of these elements were combined in a single Department of Pathobiology (i.e., the biology of disease) by the distinguished virologist, Frederik Bang. The department was renamed Immunology and Infectious Diseases in 1982 and Molecular Microbiology and Immunology (MMI) in 1994. In 1996, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health named the Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology in honor of W. Harry Feinstone

A History of Microbiology INTRODUCTION THE BEGINNING Microscopy Discovery Science DISCOVERIES Abiogenesis Virulence Vaccines REVENGE Antibiotics Clean Revolution Resistance THE BEGINNING By the 13th century fear of the diseased took a drastic turn in the formation of small leper colonies intended to isolate people carrying the devastating disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae . In 1348, a mass epidemic caused by a single organism, Yersinia pestis , wiped out nearly one third of Europe's population. The Plague spread rapidly in the unsanitary conditions of the Middle Ages, leaving Medieval Europeans defenseless against its devastation. Entire towns succumbed to the disease, leaving the living to dispose of thousands of contaminated corpses. Perhaps the deadliest pathogen in history, the Black Death has claimed over 200 million lives and contributed to the fall of empires. By the time of the Renaissance, advances in optics and microscopy were made. Robert Hooke, a young English scientist, became the first person to view and describe fungi using a simple compound microscope. In 1665, Hooke published Micrographia which detailed his observations of tiny cork-like cells resembling "little boxes." Over 200 years before the first antibiotics were invented, Dutch scientist

A History of Microbiology INTRODUCTION THE BEGINNING Microscopy Discovery Science DISCOVERIES Abiogenesis Virulence Vaccines REVENGE Antibiotics Clean Revolution Resistance AGE OF DISCOVERY Robert Hooke's and Antony van Leeuwenhoek's observations sparked a new era of discovery in microbiology. Spontaneous generation (abiogenesis), a long-held theory that life springs up from non-living or decaying organic matter, was based on observations of rotting food seemingly producing living organisms. Francesco Redi, a respected philosopher at the court of the Medici Grand Duke in Tuscany, was the first scientist to question the idea of spontaneous generation. By setting up a simple experiment in which decaying meat was placed in three jars, one uncovered, one sealed, and one covered by mesh, allowing air to circulate, he demonstrated that only the open jar which flies could access produced maggots. Thus, decaying meat does not spontaneously produce maggots. Partially due to the simplicity of Redi's experiment (anyone could reproduce it), people began to doubt spontaneous generation. In the 1700s, John Needham, a English clergyman proposed that abiogenesis occurred due to the random "clumping

Back BRIEF HISTORY Modern higher education was started in Ethiopia with the founding of the University College of Addis Ababa in 1950 G. C. In February 1961G.C, the existing various institutions of higher education came under the central administration of a single university, which eventually came to be known as Addis Ababa University . The M.Sc programme was started 1991-92 with support from SIDA/SAREC in collaboration with Karolinska Institute, Sweden . In 2001 the program was restarted with funding from the Graduate School , Addis Ababa University . The PhD programme was started in 1998 supported by SAREC/SIDA. PhD program supported by the Graduate School , AAU was started in A new post graduate programme, M.Sc Medical Parasitology was started in 2003. Currently the Department is involved in both academic and research activities. The routine microbiology laboratory services (Bacteriology, Parasitology and Serology) are operating under the Tikur Anbassa Hospital management without the involvement of the department for many years. But currently efforts are in progress to integrate the laboratory services within the Department. Units under the Department As the name DMIP indicates, there are three major units, Medical Microbiology, Medical Immunology and Medical Parasitology.

Department History [Department Home] department our history department faculty ... about TUFTS In 1968, the name of the department was changed to Molecular Biology and Microbiology to distinguish our emphasis on molecular genetic approaches to microbial physiology from more traditional ways of thinking about the subject. At that time, molecular biology was still a new science that pertained almost exclusively to bacteria and viruses. Park resigned as Chair in 1970, turning over the governance of the department to Elio Schaechter. Two appointments in the next five years increased the faculty to a small, highly cohesive group of seven who interacted well with each other. We have managed to maintain this spirit even as the department has doubled in size. We have done so despite our stylistic differences by seeking consensus and working together for the common good. Several department members began to take an active interest in microbial virulence mechanisms, realizing that their expertise in microbial genetics would serve them well in this field. Thus, Malamy took on the anaerobic pathogen

Emergency Information Our History The Department of Bacteriology (1929-1965) The School of Microbiology (1965- 1997) The Department of Microbiology and Immunology (1997- ) The Department of Bacteriology The Department of Bacteriology at the University of Melbourne dates from 1929 and a Chair in Bacteriology from 1934. The establishment of the study and teaching of bacteriology at the University of Melbourne was driven by the impact of public health problems, both medical and veterinary, on the city of Melbourne. The enormous expansion of the economy and of the population of Melbourne in the decades following the discovery of gold had occurred without adequate provision of pure water or waste management. "Marvellous Melbourne" had become "Marvellous Smellbourne", and typhoid and other diseases now known to be infectious were rife. Issues of waste and water management came to a head during the Royal Commission into the Sanitary State of Melbourne, which issued its final report in 1891. During the Commission's hearings, Auguste de Bavay who had trained in bacteriology in Europe and who was researching and controlling the fermentative yeasts for a Melbourne brewery, caused a furore when he claimed to have isolated the causative organism of typhoid from Melbourne's water supply.

Home History of the Department The Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics of the Harvard Medical School has a long and distinguished history of making significant contributions to an understanding of the fundamental causes, means of prevention, and treatment of disease by studying the molecular bases of pathogenic viral and bacterial infections; and by expanding the basic understanding of bacterial viruses, fungi and animal cells. The Department follows in the rich tradition of such eminent alumni and members of the faculty as Hans Zinsser, John Enders, Bernard Davis, and Bernard Fields. Zinsser's groundbreaking work on rickettsial diseases led to an understanding of recurrent typhus, named Brill-Zinsser disease in his honor. Enders, a student of Zinsser, received his doctorate in Microbiology from Harvard Medical School in 1930 and served on the faculty for 37 years. His research first led to the refinement of tissue culture techniques for the study of viruses in vitro, and then, to the cultivation of polio, measles, and mumps viruses in non-nervous tissues. Enders' seminal work paved the way for the development of the polio, measles and mumps vaccines and earned him the Nobel Prize. Bernard Davis expanded our understanding of the role of antibiotics and their ability to kill bacteria. His work and the work of Luigi Gorini on streptomycin helped elucidate how this drug worked as a treatment of tuberculosis. Bernard Fields' work expanded our knowledge of the structure and genetics of animal viruses in relation to their dissemination and replication in the human host.
