(Immunology, Mycology & Parasitology) The first part of this course (which will parallel Diagnostic Microbiology-I) will deal with the theoretical and practical aspects of different immunological principles, assays, and methods with special emphasis on their specific applications in the identification of infectious agents.

Is to let the student think, work and present his latest research review in front of his classmates and teachers. This will give a good idea about the student level, his ability to give the lectures in a impressive manner and to assess the level of understanding of the given topic and its presentation.. Student ability to respond to the questions from teachers and students, the personality of the students and finally to evaluate their English language. 

This is a general medical microbiology course intended for students outside the department of Clinical Laboratory Sciences. The structure of the course is based on presenting the fundamentals of microbiology to include structures, morphology and classification of bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. The students will be introduced to the pathogenesis of the various infectious agents. The course will also cover some topics related to community health, including the modes and sources of infections as well as prevention of these infections.

This final microbiology course involves lectures as well as practical sessions in a hospital Microbiology laboratory. The lectures will deal mainly with specimens received in the bacteriology laboratory, their collection, suitability, and processing. The students will be introduced to the safety measures implemented in the laboratories. They will learn about culture media preparation and sterilization, processing of specimens, isolation/ identification of organisms, and antibiotic susceptibility testing.

In this course the students will learn about the fungi ( molds and yeasts ) of medical importance and the diseases they cause. The classification, structure physiology, and cultural characteristics of fungi will be discussed. Emphasis in this course will be on the fungal diseases and their clinical presentation, pathogenesis, modes of transmission, laboratory diagnosis, prevention and control.
