Description
This course examines basic concepts of microbial metabolism, genetics, and classification in order to understand their effects on human health. Clinically relevant microbial diseases will be explored, with a focus on microbe-human interactions, epidemiology, and methods to control microbes. The course includes a laboratory component designed to complement lecture topics.

Outcomes: Identify the association between the major groups of microorganisms, the portals of entry and exit of microorganisms that cause disease, and disease processes; Describe the components and functions of the human immune system, the role it plays in protecting the host, and methods that microorganisms use to evade or defeat the immune system; Apply microbial control principles to aseptic technique, antimicrobial treatments, drug resistance, and antibiotic stewardship; Explain the magnitude of the global impact of microbes on human illness, and the factors that hamper effective global public health efforts; Implement microbiological techniques such as isolation of organisms, counting microbial populations, staining, ELISA, and metabolic identification of organisms.
