4. Course general Description:
This course is designed to meet the requirements of nursing students. It is a one-semester course that
deals with the disease-causing representatives of different groups of microorganisms and how they are
transmitted and controlled. Students learn how to prevent the spread of infectious microorganisms in
the hospital setting. Various aspects of microbiological techniques are covered by the course including
sterilization techniques and collection, storage and handling of various clinical specimens. The course
discusses the immune response mounted by the body against different infections giving a broad
overview of immunological disorders and the impact of using vaccines for immunization.
5. Pre-requirements for this course (if any):
None
6. Co-requisites for this course (if any):
None
7. Course Main Objective(s):
Upon completion of the course, the students will be able to:
1. Explain the basic features of general bacteriology, virology, mycology and immunology.
2. Illustrate how different microorganisms are related to infectious diseases in terms of
pathogenesis, disease transmission, and management.
3. Discuss the importance of aseptic technique in patient management and the precautions
used to prevent and control transmission of nosocomial infections.
4. Demonstrate the ability to educate patients on the effective ways of infection control.
5. Differentiate between types of immune responses, disorders of the immune system and
their management, and vaccine administration routes and types.
