    Anatomical basis of disease in mammals. Emphasis on concepts of pathogenesis of disease, and the gross, microscopic and clinicopathological changes associated with lesions; cell injury and death; cellular degeneration; disturbances of growth and circulation; neoplasia; inflamation; and recognition of gross and microscopic tissue changes. Background in immunology will be beneficial. Dual listed with MICR 5130; cross listed with PATB 4130. Prerequisite: C or better in LIFE 2022.

  • 1.00 Credits

    Practical training with emphasis on diagnostic procedures used in a clinical microbiology laboratory. Students identify bacterial pathogens of animals and humans. Taught in a clinical setting utilizing selected clinical material. Techniques employed in the processing and identification of clinically significant bacteria are used and discussed. Safe laboratory practices for working with biohazards are presented. Cross listed with PATB 4200. Prerequisites: junior standing and a MICR course which included a laboratory.

    Intended as a survey of the molecular mechanisms that have evolved in pathogenic bacterial species which result is disease. The broad-scoped objective is to assist students in gaining an understanding of principals and concepts as they apply to common themes of bacterial virulence acting on higher order host organisms. In-class review/discussion of scholarly manuscripts, historical to present day, is paramount in allowing students to gain a better appreciation and comprehension of biological principals and concepts through knowledge of experimental approaches. Dual listed with MICR 5220; cross listed with PATB 4220. Prerequisites: PATB/MICR 2220 and statistics (or epidemiology).
