Level/year at which this course is offered: (5th Level, 3rd year ) 4. Course general Description: The course will introduce students to the pathogenic bacteria by shedding the light on different aspects of their properties such as their classification, identification, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment. Also, the course should provide adequate opportunities for students to link between the theoretical and practical sides of knowledge as well as improve student’s skills particularly in diagnosis, observation, and scientific thinking in practical classes. 5.
