This course is designed to assist students in the study of important
microorganisms and parasites. It explains the physiology and
pathogenic properties of bacteria, fungi and viruses as an introduction
to disease causation, their biology, the infections they cause, host
response to these infections and their mode of transmission,
prevention, treatment and nursing responsibilities.
The laboratory experiences provide specimen collection, handling and
processing of specimens for isolation and identification of
microorganisms and parasites involved in the infectious processes.
