Industrial microorganisms can be thought of as metabolic specialists, capable of synthesizing one or more products in high yield. Industrial microbiologists often use classical genetic methods to select high-yielding microbial variants, with the goal being to increase the yield of the product to the point that

There are many different germs and infections inside and outside of the healthcare setting. Despite the variety of viruses and bacteria, germs spread from person to person through a common series of events. Therefore, to prevent germs from infecting more people, we must break the chain of infection. No matter the germ, there are six points at which the chain can be broken and a germ can be stopped from infecting another person. The six links include: the infectious agent, reservoir, portal of exit, mode of transmission, portal of entry, and susceptible host. Infection cycle
