Hello, I'm Dr. Martin Goldberg.
I'm a Senior Lecturer in
Clinical Microbiology
at Birmingham City University.
I've been invited to
assemble a series of
lectures to form
a mini-course on
an introduction to microbiology.
There are some lectures,
because there's a
lot of content,
have been divided into two
parts—part 1 and part 2.
This is an example
of one of those.
The idea is to produce
a set of material that
would be of a level suitable for
first-year
undergraduate students
but would also be useful for
anybody else who wishes to
improve their knowledge of
microbiology, for example.
People in the health
sector such as nurses,
doctors, people
working in the labs,
and people in
academia or industry.
And so, it's intended as
a good level of detail,
but providing a
good foundation for
anybody interested in following
microbiology in more detail.

In this lecture,
this is going to be a
very gentle stroll.
We're going to be,
first of all, looking at some of
the important historical
developments in microbiology.
We'll be looking at the
enormous variety of
different microorganisms,
again very gentle,
very superficial,
and a lot more detail will be
applied in later lectures.
We'll be doing
specific lectures on
things like fungi and viruses.
Then we'll be looking at some of
the important
structural features of
the bacterial cell.
Particularly, the
envelope such as
the cell wall, an
important part of
the cell wall known
as peptidoglycan,
and the different
structural features
associated with the cell wall.
Then I'll be finishing
this session by
talking about how energy
is generated in the cell.
