Overview

This course:

Discuss the most common bacteria, with emphasis on the general characteristics, natural habitat, virulence factors, pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, epidemiology, laboratory diagnosis, treatment and prevention. 2ب Discuss the etiology, risk factors, and control measurements of health care associated infection. 3ب Discuss the most common viral infections with emphasis on the classification, genomic structure, clinical features, replication, pathogenesis, laboratory diagnosis, treatment, vaccines, epidemiology, and prevention and control also, Oncoviruses, and unconventional viruses. 4ب Discuss the characteristics of fungal infection, clinical picture, diagnosis, and treatment of major fungal diseases.

Intended learning outcomes

By the end of the course, the student will be able to: 1. Understand the most important microorganisms including Bacteria, Viruses and Fungi and their characteristics in terms of pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, epidemiology, laboratory diagnosis, treatment and prevention. 2. Identify types and risk factors that contribute to the Health care Associated Infection (HAI), and control strategies. 3. Understand the significant role of Oncoviruses in developing cancer and identify unconventional viruses 4. Understand the conventional and modern laboratory diagnostic techniques used in medical microbiology.
