BIOL 212 - Microbiology II
PREREQUISITES: BIOL 211 - Microbiology I and APHY 101 - Anatomy and Physiology I
PROGRAM: Life Sciences
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 2
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 1
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Fall, 2018
Presents a secondary study of bacteria, viruses, fungi, rickettsia, and parasites. Emphasizes the study of bacterial growth and control demonstrated by serological techniques.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:
- Review virulence and pathogenicity and distinguish microorganisms that cause disease from those that are normal flora, and, knowing that certain microorganisms are pathogenic, determine the strength of the pathogenicity.
- Identify and differentiate specific microorganisms that cause specific diseases.
- Review the transmission of microorganisms and techniques that limit microorganisms’ passage.
- Recognize the important and diagnostic symptoms of each disease caused by a given microorganism.
- Relate the qualities of the microorganism and the therapeutic management of the microorganism.
- Review the ability of the human body to protect itself with immune response.
- Review conditions that precede the growth of microorganisms and how to stop the growth and spread of microorganisms.
- Review endemic, epidemic, and pandemic situations and methods to stop and prevent the spread of the disease.
- Review the fundamentals of recombinant DNA technologies, genetic engineering, and biotechnology as they relate to microbiology, medicine, industry, and the environment.
