Micro Biology
discipline of dentistry
“Without Laboratories Men of Science are Soldiers without Arms” We explain the pathogencity & lab diagnosis of various microbial infections and to apply the knowledge of sterilization & disinfection in clinical practice. Categorize and plan collection & transport of clinical specimen to the laboratory and prioritise the prevention of hospital acquired infections. The crisis on increasing antibiotic resistance recommends the knowledge on judicial drug usage to prevent drug resistance. The awareness of Immunity, vaccination and its responses, towards an infectious disease helps in infection control.
