MLSC 3131U – Clinical Microbiology II

The Clinical Microbiology lectures and laboratories will address the theory and methodologies involved in the laboratory diagnosis of micro-organism infections in humans. Included are discussions and/or practical activities related to specimen collection and processing, culture and sensitivity procedures, interpretation, reporting, infection control, and the emerging global significance of infectious disease. This course builds on the general microbiology knowledge gained in previous coursework, MLSC 2131U – Clinical Microbiology I. This course focuses on the clinical microbiology microorganisms and applications required for gaining competence in professional practice. Students will have an opportunity to apply their theory in hands-on laboratory sessions using simulated patient samples for culture and sensitivity.

This course has multiple sections and delivery modes. Please check MyCampus for further details.
