Aims:
The primary goals of this course are:
• To have graduates with high knowledge in this field.
• Describe the historical perspectives important in the development of microbiology and the
current diversity in the field to include the germ theory and the microbes being studied.
• To give an idea about the main role of microorganisms in nature and the life.
• Compare and contrast eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells and their specific structures with
functions.
• Encourage skills that make the student a lifelong learner to understand concepts such as
cell structure, physiology, disinfection, drug actions, genetics, pathogenesis, transmission of
diseases.
• Explain principles of physical and chemical methods used in the control of microorganisms
and apply this understanding to the prevention and control of infectious diseases.
Learning Outcomes:
After successfully completion of the course students should be able to demonstrate:
1. To demonstrate the ubiquity and diversity of microorganisms in the human body and the
environment.
2. To illustrate the characteristics features of microorganisms (bacteria) and the diseases they
cause.
3. To explore mechanisms by which microorganisms (bacteria) cause disease.
4. To show the antimicrobial activity of disinfectants in the context of the patient and the
