This course is an introduction to the study of bacteria, viruses, protozoa, fungi and helminthes with focus on those responsible for human disease. Evolution is the unifying principle used to investigate the interaction of microbe, human and the environment. General microbiological concepts such as microbial structure, growth, metabolism, genetics and ecology are applied to such medically related topics as control and pathogenicity of microorganisms as well as to body defense mechanisms and the immune responses. The lab exercises stress basic clinical laboratory techniques such as staining, aseptic techniques and the biochemical and serological testing for microorganisms. Biotechnology applications are also utilized. Both laboratory and lecture relate core microbiological principles to the understanding of infectious diseases.
