UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE COURSES
MICRO 305.6
Registration Info — 2003-2004 Regular Session» Human Oral Infectious Diseases
1(7L/P/T)
Prerequisite(s): Restricted to students enrolled in the College of Dentistry.

This course consists of didactic lectures, laboratory exercises, and clinical microbiology conferences, part of which are taken in conjunction with the College of Medicine. Deals with the general principles of medical bacteriology, mycology, virology, parasitology, and the organisms involved in systemic infections in general and oral infections in particular. Complications of systemic infections with oral manifestations or oral infections resulting from dental procedures are discussed. The role of the medical laboratory in the diagnosis of infectious diseases is also discussed together with consideration of antimicrobial therapy in relation to both systemic and oral infections.

Registration Info — 2003-2004 Regular Session» Medical Bacteriology
1(3L)
Prerequisite(s): AP MC 212 or MICRO 214; BIOCH 200.

Considers the characteristics of bacterial agents of infectious disease in humans. Host-parasite interactions are emphasized with respect to pathogenesis and the innate immune response. The role of the laboratory in the control of infectious disease is discussed.

MICRO 309.3
Registration Info — 2003-2004 Regular Session» Medical Virology
2(3L)
Prerequisite(s): AP MC 212 or MICRO 214; BIOCH 200.

The principles of animal virology are covered, including classification, cell-virus relationships, basic techniques in virology, transmission of viruses, and study of viral disease.
