Description

Microbiology is the study of microorganisms and their effects on other living organisms. Microorganisms include bacteria, fungi, viruses, rickettsia, protozoa, and helminths. Topics include growth, reproduction, nutrition, genetics, infectious processes, defense mechanisms, immunology, and control of microorganisms, emerging and reemerging infectious diseases and development of resistance to antimicrobial chemicals. Laboratory exercises develop fundamental skills in aseptic technique, microscopy, pure culture study, and the isolation and identification of pathogenic microorganisms. This graduate level course prepares students for advanced coursework in pathology and diagnosis.
Prerequisite(s): BASC 5101 Biology of Cells and Tissues, BASC 5105 Biochemistry I (or concurrent enrollment)
