BIOL 421 — MEDICAL BACTERIOLOGY and MEDICAL BACTERIOLOGY LAB
Learning Objectives & Matches
1. identify pathogenic bacteria using basic bacterial characteristics.
Study growth, structure, development, and general characteristics of bacteria and other microorganisms to understand their relationship to human, plant, and animal health.
Examine physiological, morphological, and cultural characteristics, using microscope, to identify and classify microorganisms in human, water, and food specimens.
Investigate the relationship between organisms and disease, including the control of epidemics and the effects of antibiotics on microorganisms.
Prepare and analyze organ, tissue, and cell samples to identify toxicity, bacteria, or microorganisms or to study cell structure.
Isolate and maintain cultures of bacteria or other microorganisms in prescribed or developed media, controlling moisture, aeration, temperature, and nutrition.
Examine chemical or biological samples to identify cell structures or to locate bacteria or extraneous material, using a microscope.
Investigate diseases or parasites to determine cause and risk factors, progress, life cycle, or mode of transmission.
Isolate, identify and prepare specimens for examination.
Study the structure and function of human, animal, and plant tissues, cells, pathogens, and toxins.
Develop new products and procedures for sterilization, food and pharmaceutical supply preservation, or microbial contamination detection.
3. identify virulence factors from specific pathogenic bacteria and indicate how they promote infection and disease.
Study growth, structure, development, and general characteristics of bacteria and other microorganisms to understand their relationship to human, plant, and animal health.
Investigate the relationship between organisms and disease, including the control of epidemics and the effects of antibiotics on microorganisms.
Investigate diseases or parasites to determine cause and risk factors, progress, life cycle, or mode of transmission.
Study the structure and function of human, animal, and plant tissues, cells, pathogens, and toxins.
Identify the etiology, pathogenesis, morphological change, and clinical significance of diseases.
Examine physiological, morphological, and cultural characteristics, using microscope, to identify and classify microorganisms in human, water, and food specimens.
