B. Course Objectives and Learning Outcomes 1. Course Description
Diagnostic Bacteriology 2 emphasizes 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, and laboratory diagnosis, susceptibility testing, prevention, and controls. This will include medically important Gram
–ve bacteria including Neisseria, Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonads, Vibrios, Campylobacter, Helicobacter, Bordetella, Brucella, and Haemophilus. The students will also get knowledge about Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, and spirochetes.
2. Course Main Objective
Understand the concepts of different Gram –ve bacterial infections and spirochetes.
List the virulence factors and pathogenesis of Gram –
ve bacterial infections and spirochetes.
Describe the laboratory diagnosis of medically important Gram –
ve bacteria and spirochetes
Perform appropriate laboratory techniques in processing of clinical specimens,
identification of Gram
–ve bacteria and to evaluate antimicrobial sensitivity.
Evaluate and interpret the test results with the patient presentation.
3. Course Learning Outcomes: By the end of the course the student will be:
