The American Society for Microbiology was originally founded in 1899 as the Society of American Bacteriologists. The transition from "bacteriology" to "microbiology" and from an emphasis on the identity of the membership (bacteriologists) to an emphasis on the discipline (microbiology) was a contentious one that occurred in several steps. This article reviews the history and events that accompanied this development.
美国微生物学会最初成立于1899年，名为美国细菌学家协会。从“细菌学”到“微生物学”的转变，以及从强调会员身份（细菌学家）到强调学科（微生物学）的转变，是一个分几个阶段进行的有争议的过程。本文回顾了伴随这一发展的历史和事件。
