Introduction:

Microbes are small microscopic organisms that are found everywhere in the environment such as in the air, soil, water, and within the body. They grow very rapidly and generally in colonies. They can be grown in laboratories, in culture medium and appropriate environmental conditions. The nervous system is the major controller of the body and is mostly found in higher organisms.
