UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE COURSES
MICR 214.3
Basic and Medical Microbiology
1(3L-3P)
Prerequisite(s): BIOL 110; CHEM 112. Students intending to major in Microbiology must take BIOC 200 concurrently.

An introduction to the structure, physiology, and genetics of micro-organisms, with special consideration given to bacteria and viruses of medical importance and their role in human disease.

Note: Laboratories emphasize techniques used in the study of micro-organisms. Students with credit for APMC 212 may not take this course for credit.

MICR 216.3
Introductory Prokaryotic Genetics and Physiology
2(3L/3P)
Prerequisite(s): MICR 214 or APMC 212; BIOC 200.

Introduces the metabolic and genetic properties of bacterial cells. Topics include bacterial growth and culture systems, key metabolic pathways and their regulation, nutrient transport systems, organization of genetic material, regulation of bacterial and viral gene expression and genetic exchange mechanisms. Students will appreciate the central role of bacteria in modern biotechnology. Laboratories illustrate concepts developed in the lectures.

MICR 224.3
Microbiology for Pharmacists
2(3L-3P)
Prerequisite(s): BIOL 110; CHEM 111. Restricted to students enrolled in the College of Pharmacy.

Introduces students to medically-important microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Topics include the structure and function of microorganisms, host-pathogen interactions, immunological principles, antimicrobial agents and resistance, infection control principles, and a representative survey of medically relevant microorganisms. Laboratory exercises stress the observation, growth, and safe handling of microorganisms.

Note: Replaces MICR 214 in the Pharmacy program (students who already have credit for MICR 214 will not be required to take MICR 224).
