This laboratory course is designed to accompany PH162A, Public Health microbiology. The primary emphasis in the laboratory will be on properties of microorganisms, particularly those that cause infectious disease in humans. Examples will be presented of laboratory applications of microbiology and immunology as they relate to the diagnosis and treatment of disease, and control of the environment to prevent transmission of infectious agents.
This course is offered in the fall only
College-level courses in elementary biology and chemistry; PH 162A (may be taken concurrently)
2 hours of lab per week, 10-20 minutes each pre-lab
Take this class concurrently with PH162A. It is not very time-intensive, but the material does overlap with lecture so the two courses complement each other well.
This course is hard to get into during Phase 1 if youre not a public health major, and you may be automatically waitlisted until Phase 2. Be patient and try different sections that have more space!
You will need to purchase a lab manual from a local copy store for about $20.
