The study of microorganisms, or organisms that are typically too small to be seen clearly with the unaided eye, is the focus of the biology subfield known as microbiology. Bacteria, viruses, protozoa, many algae, and fungi are among these creatures. When some researchers hypothesized the presence of these tiny organisms and their involvement in disease, the necessity to investigate them arose. They weren't discovered until Antoin Van Leeuwenhoek created the first microscope in 1676. Microorganisms have been intensively studied since their discovery, and we now have a far greater understanding of how they affect human existence.
