Course Overview
|
Course Synopsis
|
This course is designed to develop understanding of the students to the fundamental concepts of microbiology different types of staining structural differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes mechanism of catabolism enzymes and coenzymes different types of respiration different methods of microbial control methods of classifying and identifying microorganisms methods of classification of infectious diseases different types of immunity diagnostic immunology autoimmune diseases and commonly used antimicrobial drugs and their action This course will enable the students to get sufficient knowledge about the subject to carry out research in the same field
