This course provides a comprehensive introduction to microbiology, the study of microorganisms and their impact on humans, ecosystems, and industry. Students will explore the biology, physiology, genetics, and ecology of bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, and other microscopic life forms. Emphasis is placed on understanding microbial structure and function, mechanisms of disease, host–microbe interactions, and the principles of immunology.
Through lectures, laboratory exercises, and case-based learning, students will gain practical skills in culturing, staining, identifying, and analyzing microorganisms using modern microbiological techniques. The course also highlights the roles of microbes in health, biotechnology, environmental processes, and emerging global challenges such as antibiotic resistance and infectious disease outbreaks.
By the end of the course, students will develop foundational knowledge of microbiological concepts, laboratory competency, and an appreciation of the importance of microbes in everyday life and scientific advancement.
