DESCRIPTION

Comprises a study of medical microbiology giving students a knowledge of the causative agents of microbial diseases common in our community (or likely to occur here); an understanding of the means by which these agents produce disease and a knowledge of the sources from which they are derived, their mode of transmission and the basis of their diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Illustrated lectures and tutorials cover these aspects of the unit. Practical classes introduce students to common techniques used in the Microbiology Laboratory as well as to the laboratory handling of clinical specimens, the use of common isolation and identification techniques and the interpretation of results. Exercises reinforce and illustrate the material presented during the lectures and lead to an understanding of the role of microbiologists in the diagnosis of infectious diseases.
