Welcome to Microbial Physiology and Anatomy
This module aims to provide students with knowledge about the physiological conditions required for microbes to grow and multiply.
Wednesday 8am - 10am
Thursday 8am - 10am
Module outline:
a. Microbial Physiology: Nutrition and physiological requirements for bacteria, Microbial growth and metabolism, Factors affecting growth of micro- organisms, Eukaryotic microorganisms
b. Technical Methods: Organisation of medical laboratory and safety, Cultivation, isolation and enumeration of bacteria, Microbial identification systems, Overview of the differences in diagnostic and research methods, Principles of water testing.
c. Microbial Pathogenesis and Host Resistance to infection: Normalflora/commensal flora, Basis of microbial pathogenicity, Host resistance to infection and immunity, Principles of serological diagnosis.
d. Control of microorganisms: Physical and chemical control agents, Sterilization, autoclaving and disinfection, Protective clothing, devices and personal hygiene Storage, handling and disposal of biohazards.
