Overview

Explore the fundamentals of microbiology in this comprehensive 21-hour course covering bacterial nomenclature, cell structures, viruses, infectious diseases, and immune responses. Delve into topics such as prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, the three domains of life, bacterial morphology, and growth curves. Learn about various microbiological techniques including Gram staining, PCR, and ELISA tests. Examine methods of microbial control, antibiotics, and antivirals. Study host-microbe interactions, bacterial and viral pathogenesis, and the immune system's three lines of defense. Investigate specific microorganisms like bacteriophages, animal viruses, and prions. Gain practical knowledge on microbial identification, culturing methods, and media types. By the end of this course, develop a solid understanding of microbiology principles and their applications in health and disease.
