How has the study of microorganisms affected science's ability to counter disease?
The study of microorganism has affected science's ability to counter diseases because the stronger microorganism have adapted. The overuse of antimicrobial items has caused the weak microorganisms to die but the resistant microorganism's have gotten stronger, so it is harder for scientist and doctors to counter the diseases.

Briefly discuss disinfection and antisepsis in relation to patient care?
Disinfectants are applied to non-living objects to destroy microorganisms that are living there, such as machines or objects in a patient's room. Disinfection does not necessarily kill all microorganisms, especially resistant bacterial spores; it is less effective than sterilization. Disinfectants are different from antiseptics, which destroy microorganisms on living tissue.
