CLASS TOPIC this list will help you relate these video files to the microbiology subjects you have in your notes and we will talk about in class	PODCASTS from ABC, CNN, MicrobeWorld Radio, National Geographic, and the Intimate Strangers TV series. Files in Windows (wmv) format are in white, files in Ipod/Quicktime format (Mpeg, M4v) format are in blue - Click here to download the Quicktime Player Some of these files are large and may take a while to download ... be patient!!
Introduction & Overview of microbes	Microbes (an overview of various microbes and their role in our world (ASM))
Methods

Microorganisms: Protozoans
Microorganisms: Multicellular Parasites
Microorganisms: Algae
Microorganisms: Fungi	Forest Fungi (fungal growth and environmental value - some great time-lapse video)
Microorganisms: Bacteria	Hot Water Ecosystems (Archea and bacteria living in extreme environments)
Microorganisms: Viruses

Bacterial Growth	Hot Water Ecosystems (a look at thermophiles (from the Inside Yellowstone Series))
Bacterial Metabolism	Oceans of Microbes (a look at chemosynthetic bacteria (from Intimate Strangers))
Bacterial Genetics
Epidemiology & Pathogenesis	Dangerous Friends (a look at our normal flora and how some microbes can be killers) A Contaminated World (transmission of infectious disease and how it is affected by living conditions around the world) No Food is Safe (unexpected danger from fruits and vegetables (ASM slide show)

Microbial Control
Antimicrobial Drugs	Overuse of Antibiotics (a look at antibiotic overuse leading to drug resistance) New hope battling HIV (developing a new class of drugs for HIV) Resistance selection ((silent) an animation we'll use in class) Superinfection ((silent) an animation we'll use in class - excerpt from ASM video)
Immunology: Introduction & Nonspecific Mechanisms	A Friendly Enemy (how Salmonella avoids the immune system)

Specific Immunity
Applied and Diagnostic Immunology	Easy Flu Vaccine for Kids (using inhaled vaccines (ABC News Medical Minute)) Chicken Pox Vaccine (some children now need a second shot) Cervical Cancer Vaccine (an overview and an early look at how effective it is)
Immune Disorders	Lupus and Arthritis (a look at how these two autoimmune diseases are connected)

Bacterial Diseases	A Closer Look at Tuberculosis (an important disease in the U.S. and world-wide) Pneumonia Vaccination (a look at the effects of vaccinating infants for this disease) Toddlers Tooth Decay (tooth and gum desease is declining - except in young children) Pets and Salmonella (baby turtles aren't supposed to be sold - but they still are)

Viral Diseases	Antibiotic Overuse (Doctors using antibacterial drugs to treat viral respiratory infections) Ebola (a human viral hemorrhaghic fever is now killing Gorillas) HIV in African Americans (this virus infects some Americans more often than others) HPV Statistics (the virus that causes genital warts is surprisingly common) HPV Vaccine (good news - it protects against more strains than we first thought)

Parasitic Diseases
Environmental Microbiology	Oceans of Microbes (the important role of microbes in marine ecosystems)
Applied and Industrial Microbiology	Bioremediation (using microbes to clean up heavily polluted sites and also trash in Georgia landfills (excerpt from a longer ASM video)) Cheese and Microbes (the basic process of cheese production and the role various microbes play in making the variety of cheeses))
