MBio 320 Course Specification Institution King Saud University College /and Department Science Botany & Microbiology

Course Name: Microbial Diagnosis (MIC 320)
Credit hours: 2 (1+1)
Prerequisites: Mic.  240,250,260,270

Objectives: 1. Summary of the main learning outcomes for students enrolled in the course.
Samples collection-Transport – Processing – storage condition for microbial diagnosis of human
diseases by molecular technology – Laboratory emphasize basic and clinical techniques for nucleic acid. antigenic serology based detection methods Knowing more about techniques used in microbial diagnosis Learning more about human diseases Ability to isolate and identification of microbes causing diseases Following the update reaches throw Internet exploring. Ability to prepare and microscopically examination of microbial slides
2. Briefly describe any plans for developing and improving the course that are being implemented. (eg Increased use of IT or web based reference material, changes in content as a result of new research in the field) Looking to recent research throw Internet and scientific journals. Scientific exchange to gain advanced techniques in microbial diagnosis Allowing Students evaluation for all the scientific material and their benefits from the course in practical way
