Course Description
Medical microbiology is the study of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, all of which can cause diseases in humans. This course is designed to foster scientific curiosity, critical thinking skills, and a deeper understanding of how microorganisms play a critical role in human health, disease, and medical breakthroughs. Analyze how microorganisms cause common diseases and their symptoms, and how diseases are transmitted. Discover the history and development of vaccines, antibiotics, and antibiotic-resistant bacteria and how they have impacted the transmission of disease. Through hands-on lab activities, you’ll examine the essential biochemical reactions that occur within the human body. You'll expand your understanding with the use of case studies and real-world examples to inform research on cutting-edge topics and breakthroughs in microbiology research.
