College of Undergraduate Studies Course Descriptionsintended for students who only need to fulfill a laboratoryrequirement for a specific course.HSC 1300 microbiology I 6is series of courses will study microorganisms of theenvironment, including disease producing organisms, their actions,detrimental effects, and their reactions. Microbiology I will cover:an introduction to cells and prokaryotic cell structure and function;microbial metabolism; microbial genetics; nonspecific hostdefenses; adaptive, specific immunity and immunization; disordersin immunity; elements of microbial nutrition, ecology, and growth;and diagnosing infections. Prerequisite: At least one college levelclass in both chemistry and biology. Course is presented in aweekend intensive format. Laboratory included.HSC 1300L microbiology I – Laboratory Only 1.5is is only the laboratory portion of Microbiology I and should notbe taken by anyone intending to complete any course in theMicrobiology series. e laboratory experiments for Microbiology Icover the basic skills in isolating, culturing, staining, and identifyingmicrobial organisms. In addition, the effects of antibiotics and otherchemical agents on microbes will be explored.
