Abstract
This chapter discusses the properties and cultivation of important organisms encountered in medicine and pharmacy, such as bacteria, virus, and fungi. It focuses on four order, such as pseudomonadales, eubacteriales, actinomycetales, and spirochaetales. Pseudomonadales order is divided into two suborders. The first contains photosynthetic bacteria and the second nonphotosynthetic organisms. Within the second suborder, there are seven families, two of which contain a genus of interest in pharmacy and medicine. Eubacteriales order is divided into 13 families of which seven contain genera of interest in pharmacy. Actinomycetales is characterized by the fact that its members often grow in a mycelial form with branching reminiscent of the fungi; other criteria, however, lead unequivocally to the view that the actinomycetes are rightly classified with the bacteria. There are four families in the order, three of which contain genera of interest.
