Cellular Microbiology

Cellular Microbiology is a branch of microbiology that connects cell biology and microbiology. Cellular Microbiology uses pathogenic microbes as a tool for cell biology research.  Toxins and virulence factors from microbes have been used for decades to influence processes in eukaryotic cells and to study them. Recently Cellular Microbiology has been expanded to incorporate investigation of the cell biology of microbes themselves. "The field of cellular microbiology is a coalescence of two fields: molecular microbiology and cell biology.
