MLT 217 — CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGY II
Microbiology is an important area of the clinical laboratory as it is the area where pathogenic microorganisms are identified through a process of extensive testing. This course builds on the knowledge learned previously in MLT 118 and involves a continued study of microorganisms that may cause clinical infections including staining, culturing, incubation, isolation, identification, sterilization and media preparation. Students will also study viruses, parasites, fungi, and techniques employed in clinical laboratories for their identification. 2 credits
