BC4100 Microbiology Lecture/Lab
This course introduces the diversity of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, algae, protozoans and infectious particles. The beneficial and detrimental effects of these microorganisms are explored, including human pathogens, biotechnology, food production and bioterrorism. The lab provides exposure to the standard microbiological tools used in clinical laboratories: sterile technique, pure culture, staining, selection of selective and differential media, biochemical tests, isolation of organisms from samples, antibiotic susceptibility, and identification of unknowns.
