Define probiotics. Give an example
The study of the ecological and social factors that influence the development of
emerging ad reemerging infectious disease.
Branch of applied microbiology in which microorganisms are used in industrial
processes such as the production of drugs, chemicals, and fuels i. Example:
Magnetosomes
A live microorganisms, which when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health
benefit to the host
Example: Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria are in yogurt
1. Fermentation: involves the growth of microbes in large volumes for the production of
industrially important products

assist the beginning of fermentation

, Term 10 of 50
Define and describe the three numerical measures of disease frequency.
1. Fermentation: involves the growth of microbes in large volumes for the production of
industrially important products
2. Starter culture: the preparation of living microorganisms that are deliberately used to
assist the beginning of fermentation
1. Morbidity Rate: the number of new cases of a disease during a particular period, as a
fraction of the population size.
a. # of new cases during specific period/ Total population size
2. Prevalence Rate: measures the total number of infected individuals in the population
at any given time, as a share of the total population size

3. Mortality Rate: the number of deaths from a given disease, as a fraction of overall
cases of that disease.
a. # of deaths to given disease/ size of population with disease
