SUMMARY:Discover Microbiology Day

DESCRIPTION:We see a lot of adverts about good bacteria in foods but what
  about the bad bacteria in what we eat?\nMicrobiology examines pathogeni
 c microbes (bacteria\, viruses\, fungi and parasites) and how they cause
  disease\, become resistant to antibiotics or stimulate our immune syste
 m to fight off infection. Microbiologists also consider how microbes can
  potentially be beneficial to our health\, be useful to us in food produ
 ction and play a role in the carbon and nitrogen cycles on earth.\nOn th
 e Discover Microbiology Day you will find out more about the Microbiolog
 y course at Manchester\, the types of career available to you as a Micro
 biology graduate and the cutting-edge research going on right now in our
  labs.\nYou will get the chance to do some hands-on microbiology\, which
  will include:\n•	Detecting microbial spoilage of milk.  Does pasteurise
 d milk last longer than UHT milk before going sour? You will use a redox
  indicator to detect microbial growth in pasteurised and UHT milk. \n•	H
 ow do we identify and visualise bacteria? You will have the opportunity 
 to Gram stain bacterial cells\, visualise them under the microscope and 
 explore the use of selective media to identify bacterial pathogens. You 
 will use modern microbiological techniques to identify contaminated food
  - which sandwich is fit to eat?\n
