Course Description
MIC305,306 Microbiology I&II
Description:
It enables the students to be familiar with microbiology and its various sub-branches as well as its relationship to clinical practice. Also, it provides information about general bacteriology and their relations to infectious diseases. It allows the students to be familiar with the methods employed in the clinical diagnosis of microbial diseases and the laboratory identification of infectious agents. It also acquaints the student for the important role of sterilization and disinfection techniques.
