Medical Bacteriology
The field of Medical Bacteriology is a branch of medical Microbiology whose Ph.D. graduates learn about physiology, pathogenesis, histopathology, immunology and biology of fungi and diseases caused by them; and help in diagnosis, treatment and preventing these diseases.Graduates help in propagating theoretical and practical aspects of the field, advancing the frontiers of knowledge by preparing research literature as well as innovations and promoting public health by providing laboratory diagnostic and consultative services at the highest level. Graduates are expected to be able to:
- Teach medical bacteriology at all educational levels.
- Work in research institutions as principal or collaborate investigators.
- Work in diagnostic laboratories as technical managers.
The Ph.D. in Medical bacteriology degree belongs to medical basic sciences and serves the national research schemes and academic educational programs. The main mission of the course is training committed, knowledgeable and competent people in medical bacteriology. Hopefully, this (with other medical basic sciences courses) will upgrade the individual skills of the food microbiology graduates who are employed in food industries, quality control laboratories, research centers and inspection units.Graduates in this course will be able to take educational responsibilities, conduct research and provide expert and consulting services related to Bacteriology. In educational terms, graduates will contribute to teaching bacteriology to students of various fields according to the university’s needs. In research designing, they will implement and evaluate basic and applied research in various contexts of related fields. Furthermore, graduates will provide expert services for the laboratory diagnoses of bacteriology using standard and ingenious methods. In addition, they will provide consulting services with cooperation and consultation on controlling hospital infections.
