The topics studied also include microscopy, microbialgrowth and genetics, antimicrobial agents, epidemiology, and immune system responses topathogens. Lab exercises emphasize aseptic technique, isolation and culture ofmicroorganisms, microscopy, and staining techniques.CoursePrerequisites:CHEM140, BIOS140, or equivalentCourse Specific RequirementsEach week, you will conduct a laboratory exercise.For students taking the class online:IMPORTANT Lab Completion InformationInstructions to download the VUMIE software are linked. Also attached is the Virtual Unknown Trainingmanual. 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 performsimulated "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.

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.

The lab manual is a custom printwhich can be purchased only via the online De Vry bookstore. More information on the lab manual, and the labsdue this week can be obtained from the "Syllabus" section under "Course Home". The onsite lab schedule is asfollows:WeekLab Exercise1Culture Transfer TechniquesTechniques for Isolation of Pure Culture2Introduction to MicroscopeSimple Staining3 Differential Staining4 Bacterial Enumeration5Antibiotic SensitivityMRVP6Carbohydrate FermentationSpecialized Media7 Fomite TransmissionSoftware Citation RequirementsThis course uses open-source software, and as the end users of this software, students are required to cite thesoftware for any student work, such as assignments, labs, or projects, where the software has been utilized.https://lms.courselearn.net/lms/CourseExport/files/4c6df5b7-002e-4d14-b992-f521db71c845/BIOS242_CH_Syllabus.html 2/12
