Course
Description:
This course covers basic concepts of microbiology with an emphasis on medically important
microorganisms and infectious diseases. The topics studied also include microscopy, microbial
growth and genetics, antimicrobial agents, epidemiology, and immune system responses to
pathogens. Lab exercises emphasize aseptic technique, isolation and culture of
microorganisms, microscopy, and staining techniques.
Course
Prerequisites:
CHEM140, BIOS140, or equivalent
Course Specific Requirements
Each week, you will conduct a laboratory exercise.
For students taking the class online:
IMPORTANT Lab Completion Information
Instructions to download the VUMIE software are linked. Also attached is the Virtual Unknown Training
manual. This has the instructions on how to work in this ilab environment.
You will be using a virtual laboratory software package, VirtualUnknown. This software allows you to perform
simulated "wet lab" experiments on your computer. You will access this software through the iLab environment
(lab.devry.edu). See the iLab tab under week 1 for information about logging in to this area. The online lab
schedule is as follows:
Week Lab Exercise Software
1 Exploring the Microbiology Lab VirtualUnknown
2 Aseptic Techniques and Bacterial Anatomy and Morpohology VirtualUnknown
3 Bacterial Growth and Controlling Bacterial Growth VirtualUnknown
4 Carbohydrate Tests VirtualUnknown

5 Non-specific Defense VirtualUnknown
6 Specific Immunity VirtualUnknown
7 Epidemiology VirtualUnknown
For the lab exercises noted above, you will write a lab report based upon that week's experiment and your
observations. Details of the lab report are available in each week's lab tab.
Each lab report is worth 30 points.
Please check with your instructor if the lab is going to be online or onsite. If your labs are going to be online,
then you will be using the VirtualUnknown software - same as the online students. However, if you will be doing
on-site labs you will need to purchase the following lab manual from the online DeVry bookstore: Lab Manual
for BIOS 242: Fundamentals of Microbiology With Lab
If you will be doing onsite labs, you will need to purchase the lab manual. The lab manual is a custom print
which can be purchased only via the online De Vry bookstore. More information on the lab manual, and the labs
due this week can be obtained from the "Syllabus" section under "Course Home". The onsite lab schedule is as
follows:
Week

alignment with specific Terminal Course Objectives (TCOs). The TCOs define the learning objectives that the
student will be required to comprehend and demonstrate by course completion. The TCOs that will be covered in
detail each week can be found in the Objectives section for that particular week. Whenever possible, a reference
will be made from a particular assignment or discussion back to the TCO that it emphasizes.

Given pictures of a variety of microorganisms including fungi, protozoa, bacteria, and viruses, classify each as
prokaryotic, eukaryotic, or acellular and compare and contrast their structure and function.
3
Given several types of microscopes, evaluate how scientists use the microscopes to identify and study
microorganisms.
4
Given a culture of a microorganism, examine its physical and nutritional requirements.
5
Given a nutritional requirements of a microorganism, analyze the processes of microbial metabolism.
6
Given the characteristics of a eukaryotic organism, classify it into its right kingdom based on genetic relatedness.
7
Given the characteristics of an acellular pathogen, identify the pathogen to design the appropriate treatment
strategy.
8
Given test results identifying methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), analyze methods of
controlling microbial growth in the environment and in the body.
9
Given an illustration of the three lines of defense that protect the human body from pathogens, analyze how the
components of each work to prevent or overcome infection.
10
Given data on an outbreak of a microbial disease, propose a plan that outlines the steps taken to identify the
cause of the disease and to stop or limit the spread of the infection

Blended E-Learning
This course is an 8-week, intensive course that includes both classroom-based and e-learning activities. Your
participation in both areas is essential to your success in this course. You should expect to spend time each week
participating in the prescribed activities both before and after our class meeting.
Participation before, during, and after class meetings is critical to your success in this intensive environment.
To get the most out of our weekly class meetings, it is essential that you come to class prepared. The weekly
readings listed in the Course Schedule will prepare you for class. Our class meetings, in turn, will prepare you
for upcoming exams and assignments.
Through the DeVry e-learning platform, you will be able to
review the Syllabus and weekly assignment information;
submit completed work for grading;
take quizzes and exams;
obtain copies of class handouts and notes;
e-mail the instructor and other students; and
participate in online discussion of class material.
iConnect Live
This course contains iConnect Live sessions that provide students with the opportunity to attend live
presentations, which cover course materials, projects, and assignments. Please see the iConnect Live items for
the days and times of the live sessions and for the link to enter each session. You will also receive e-mail
reminders each week.
If you are unable to attend the live session, you can watch the recorded session by clicking on the Recordings
link that will appear in the iConnect Live item after the lecture has concluded. Please contact your instructor
with any questions.
Please note that because of unavoidable technological issues and presenter availability, the live lectures may be
substituted with prerecorded lectures.
