  1. NAJRAN UNIVERSITY College of Medicine Microbiology &Immunology Course Lecture No. 1 By Dr. Ahmed MoradAsaad Associate Professor of Microbiology

  3. Course specification

  4. General objectives: • By the end of this course, the students will be able to: • 1- Understand the structure, physiology, metabolism and genetics of medically important bacteria, viruses and fungi. • 2- Acquire the basic skills of microbiological laboratory standard techniques for diagnosis of microbial infections. • 3- Develop an understanding of sterilization, disinfection, antiseptics and antimicrobial chemotherapy. • 4- Define the different parasitology terms and differentiate between the followings: ectoparasites versus endoparasites, definitive hosts versus intermediate hosts, facultative parasites versus obligate parasites, and mechanical vectors versus biological vectors.

  5. 5- Classify medically-important parasitic infections as a protozoal or helminth disease. • 6- Differentiate between human infection and human disease. • 7- Understand the basic components of the immune system including innate and acquired immune response. • 8- Gain knowledge about humoral and cell-mediated immunity. • 9- Understand the mechanisms of protective immunity against microbial infections focusing on the antigens, antibodies, complement, cells and their receptors, cytokines and other molecules involved in the immune response. • 10- Realize and utilize the immunological methods for laboratory diagnosis of human diseases.
