Purpose: It is the intention of this Administrative Master Syllabus to provide a general description of the course, outline the
required elements of the course and to lay the foundation for course assessment for the improvement of student learning, as
specified by the faculty of Wharton County Junior College, regardless of who teaches the course, the timeframe by which it
is instructed, or the instructional method by which the course is delivered. It is not intended to restrict the manner by which
an individual faculty member teaches the course but to be an administrative tool to aid in the improvement of instruction.

This course covers basic microbiology and immunology and is primarily directed at pre-nursing, pre-allied health,
and non-science majors. It provides an introduction to historical concepts of the nature of microorganisms, microbial
diversity, the importance of microorganisms and acellular agents in the biosphere, and their roles in human and
animal diseases. Major topics include bacterial structure as well as growth, physiology, genetics, and biochemistry
of microorganisms. Emphasis is on medical microbiology, infectious diseases, and public health. The lab
component of this course also covers basics of culture and identification of bacteria and microbial ecology.

Methods of Assessment:
Upon successful completion of this lecture course, students
will:
1. Describe distinctive characteristics and diverse growth
requirements of prokaryotic
organisms compared to eukaryotic organisms.
2. Provide examples of the impact of microorganisms on
agriculture, environment, ecosystem, energy, and human
health, including biofilms.
3. Distinguish between mechanisms of physical and
chemical agents to control microbial populations.
4. Explain the unique characteristics of bacterial
metabolism and bacterial genetics.
5. Describe evidence for the evolution of cells, organelles,
and major metabolic pathways from early prokaryotes and
how phylogenetic trees reflect evolutionary relationships.
6. Compare characteristics and replication of acellular
infectious agents (viruses and prions) with characteristics
and reproduction of cellular infectious agents (prokaryotes
and
eukaryotes).
7. Describe functions of host defenses and the immune
system in combating infectious diseases and explain how
immunizations protect against specific diseases.

cellular and acellular infectious agents.
Upon successful completion of this lab course, students
will:
1. Use and comply with laboratory safety rules,
procedures, and universal precautions.
2. Demonstrate proficient use of a compound light
microscope.
3. Describe and prepare widely used stains and wet
mounts, and discuss their significance in identification of
microorganisms.

techniques for transfer, isolation and observation of
commonly encountered, clinically significant bacteria.
5. Use different types of bacterial culture media to grow,
isolate, and identify microorganisms.
6. Perform basic bacterial identification procedures using
biochemical tests.
7. Estimate the number of microorganisms in a sample
using methods such as direct counts, viable plate counts, or
