MLSCI 242A - Clinical Bacteriology
As an introduction to clinical bacteriology, this course considers organisms isolated from different body systems and their clinical significance. The course begins with reviewing basic concepts of bacterial anatomy and physiology, followed by a detailed focus on clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods of isolation and characterization of the most common aerobic and anaerobic pathogens affecting the human body. Other topics include antimicrobials and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Restricted to Medical Laboratory Science students. May not be taken for credit if credit already received in MLSCI 240.
MLSCI 242B - Pathogenic Microbiology I
As an introduction to clinical bacteriology, this course considers the most common and notorious pathogenic bacteria and the fundamentals of the human immune response that are critical to our health. The lecture portion of the course will focus on microbial pathogenic mechanisms and ways these pathogens get established and avoid destruction by the immune response. The laboratory portion of the course will focus on diagnostic procedures, such as isolation and characterization of these pathogenic microorganisms. Restricted to Medical Laboratory Science students. May not be taken for credit if credit already received in MLSCI 240.
MLSCI 244B - Pathogenic Microbiology I
As an introduction to clinical bacteriology, this course considers the most common and notorious pathogenic bacteria and the fundamentals of the human immune response that are critical to our health. The lecture portion of the course will focus on microbial pathogenic mechanisms and ways these pathogens get established and avoid destruction by the immune response. Prerequisite: CSMLS general certification or consent of the department. May not be taken for credit if credit already obtained in MLSCI 241.
MLSCI 280 - Introduction to Immunology
Overview of the immune system and function: cells, molecules and mechanisms of innate and adaptive immunity. Topics include antigens and antibodies, lymphocytes, granulocytes, NK cells, antigen presenting cells, Toll-like receptors and complement. Restricted to Medical Laboratory Science students. May not be taken for credit if credit already received in MLSCI 242.
