This group collects the Life Sciences subcategory's members whose defining work concerns microbiology: bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms, from the founders who first observed microbial life to the modern researchers who developed vaccines and antibiotics against it. It is kept apart from Physiology And Medicine, whose members study the body's own systems and disease treatment broadly rather than the microorganisms themselves.
