Medical Microbiology is a foundational course designed to explore the world of microorganisms that impact human health. The course focuses on the classification, morphology, physiology, pathogenicity, and clinical significance of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Students will learn how infectious diseases are caused, diagnosed, treated, and prevented. Core topics include microbial structure and function, host-pathogen interactions, mechanisms of microbial pathogenicity, antimicrobial agents, sterilization and disinfection, and emerging infectious diseases.

Practical sessions will cover techniques such as staining, culturing, identification of pathogens, antibiotic sensitivity testing, and aseptic procedures. Real-world case studies and clinical correlations are integrated to build problem-solving and diagnostic skills. The course is ideal for students pursuing careers in medicine, nursing, microbiology, laboratory technology, or public health. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped with both theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills essential for understanding and combating infectious diseases.
