UTA Microbiology Exam 1 (Ch 1, 2, 3, 7);
Questions and Answers % Correct
Miasma Theory Correct answer-Theory that bad air caused illness.
Leprosy in the Bible Correct answer-practice of quarantining people with leprosy
suggesting that people understood that dz's could be communicable.
Leprosy is communicable, it is also a dz that progresses slowly meaning that people were likely
quarantined after they had already spread the dz to others.
Roman Sewage System Correct answer-Built aqueducts which brought fresh water into
the city, and a giant sewer "Cloaca Maxima" which carried waste away into the river Tiber.
Researchers believe that this infrastructure helped protect Romans from epidemics of
waterborne illnesses.
Hippocrates (460-377 BC) Correct answer-"FATHER OF WESTERN MEDICINE"
Dz is not caused by the supernatural.
Hippocratic Corpus & Oath (To be a healer #1 job is to take care of that patient w/o harming
them)
Thucydides (460-395 BC) Correct answer-FATHER OF SCIENTIFIC HISTORY (To keep
records of), advocated for evidence-based analysis of cause and effect reasoning, studied
Athenian plague and discovered immunity

Questions and Answers % Correct
Immunity: People who sick and didn't die did not get sick again.
Marcus Terentius Varro (116-27 BC) Correct answer-Proposed that disease could be
caused by "certain minute animals/creatures... which cannot be seen by the eye."
*He was roman*
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) Correct answer-"FATHER OF MICROBIOLOGY"
Dutch cloth merchant, was the first to develop a lens powerful enough to view microbes.
Observed single-celled organisms "animalcules" from rain water.
Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) Correct answer-Fermentation, pasteurization (to be able to
last longer), and spoilage by microbes.
Vaccines e.g. Rabies
Robert Koch (1843-1910) Correct answer-Established method for connecting pathogen
with specific dz; Koch's postulates.

Techniques (rRNA) and three domains (Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya)
