On day one of Biology and Chemistry Professor Dr. Sean Rollins' Medical Microbiology course, students get a primer on use, cleaning, and care of the microscope. The course serves as an introduction to the biology of major groups of micro-organisms including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi. Emphasis is placed on their relationship to man as agents of infectious diseases. In the laboratory principles and practices of aseptic techniques and diagnostic identification and culture of disease entities are explored.
