B. Course Objectives and Learning Outcomes 1. Course Description

Diagnostic Bacteriology 1, emphasizing the correlation of in vitro and in vivo findings in the diagnosis and treatment of infectious disease caused by Gram +ve bacteria, their diseases, modes of transmission, clinical presentation, pathogenesis, laboratory diagnosis, susceptibility testing, prevention, and controls. This subject will give the students theoretical and practical aspects of antimicrobial agents, their modes of action, host-parasite relationships, and identification of pathogenic and nonpathogenic Gram +ve bacteria in clinical specimens. It will also focus on different Mycobacterial species.

2. Course Main Objective



Understand the mechanism of action of various antibiotics.



Explain the concepts of different Gram +ve bacterial infections.



Describe the laboratory diagnosis of Gram +ve bacteria.



List the pathogenesis and diagnosis of Mycobacteria.



Perform appropriate laboratory techniques in processing of clinical specimens,
