Bacteria and Disease aims to develop a high level understanding of bacterial pathogenesis, disease control and prevention. We examine in depth a select number of pathogens that portray the diverse characteristics seen in different pathogenic bacterial species. In conjunction with the lecture program, contemporary medical laboratory training is given through a simulated diagnostic unit. Development of communication skills constitutes part of this course.

Note: Highly recommended: MICR3041 or MICR3641.
Half of the compulsory practical component of this course consists of seven practical classes run over four days during the mid-session break. In-session time, 6 practical classes will be run in weeks 10 through 14.
