A microbiology laboratory course for skill development and discovery, focusing on the importance of microbes in animal health and disease, emphasizing development of essential techniques, including sterile technique, microscopy, enrichment, isolation, cultivation, characterization (including antibiotic susceptibility), and molecular detection of microbes; laboratory exercises designed to encourage students to develop and test hypotheses, and to think critically about their observations.

This course will include labs/hands-on experience; protocol completion and peer reviews; in-depth rodent strains and characteristics, breeding schemes, environmental enrichments and identification methods; humane care, handling, and management of primates, frogs, and fish used in research; routine techniques and practices for each species used in the labs.

Comparative aspects of anatomy, embryology, endocrinology, and physiology of reproduction and lactation.
