Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Unicellular organism causes disease to humans like bacteria, archae etc. These organisms usually get into humans via opportunistic and contamination mode.
Case summary:
Some unicellular organisms are discussed in this case with the morphological and physiological character and also the sequence similarity of r RNA base. Comparing the two dichotomous key for these organisms, suggest which key is useful in laboratory identification and for classification.
