Emphasizes microbiological principles and lab techniques related to the morphology, metabolism, genetics, classification, and ecology of bacteria. Characterizes viruses and eukaryotic microorganisms. Focuses on human disease including characteristics of pathogens, immunology, and epidemiology. Practices laboratory exercises including aseptic technique, staining, the determination of bacterial growth conditions and requirements, and the identification of an unknown bacterium. Applies microbiology in clinical applications. Field trips may be required. Prerequisites: BIOL M02A or BIOL M02AH or PHSO M01 or PHSO M01H and CHEM M01A or CHEM M01AH or CHEM M12 or CHEM M11 or high school Chemistry equivalent. Transfer credit: CSU; UC.
