MCB 1000L    Fundamentals of Microbiology Laboratory . . . . . 1(S)
Prerequisite: CHM 1032 and CHM 1032L.
Corequisite: MCB 1000
An introductory microbiology laboratory course for non-science majors specifically designed to meet the microbiology pre-requisite requirement for the 4 year BSN degree. The lab will focus on basic microbiological techniques relating to isolating, growing, and identifying medically significant microorganisms. Laboratory exercises include microscopy and staining techniques; asepsis and culturing of microorganisms; appropriate handling techniques, including sterilization and disinfection; and methods of enumeration and identification of bacteria. Emphasis will be placed on those concepts and methods that are significant in the medical setting. Material and supply fee will be assessed. (General Studies Course: NS/LAB)
