Course No. MC 102

Course Title: Microbiology and Parasitology
Number of Units: 3 Units Lecture and 1 Unit Laboratory
Course Description: This course is designed to assist students in the study of important microorganisms and parasites.
It explains the Physiology and pathogenic properties of bacteria, fungi and viruses as an
introduction to disease causation, their biology, the infections they cause, host response to these
infections and their mode of transmission, prevention, treatment and nursing responsibilities. The
laboratory experiences provide specimen collection, handling and processing of specimens for
isolation and identification of microorganisms and parasites involved in the infectious processes.

Course Outcomes:
At the end of the course and given simulated/actual situations/conditions, the student will be able to:
CO1. apply the concepts and principles of microbiology and parasitology in the care of individuals.
CO2. Utilize principles and techniques in the collection, handling of specimens and identification of microorganisms and
parasites involved in the infectious processes.
