Description

NOTE: Up to Session 1 2010 this course was offered as MICR3081. From Session 2 2010 it has been changed to course code BABS3081.

Bacteria and Disease aims to develop a high level understanding of bacterial pathogenesis, epidemiology, 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: BABS3041 or MICR3041. The compulsory practical component of this course consists of seven practical classes run over four days during the mid-session break. In addition, there will be 2 compulsory practical classes in-session time. The final 3 weeks of the course, which are compulsory, will be devoted to student presentations in the form of a mini symposium. These will be conducted in the time slot allocated for practical classes.
