TCO 4 – Given a culture of a microorganism, examine its physical and nutritional requirements.
- Explain how environmental conditions (temperature, pH, oxygen, and osmotic and hydrostatic pressure) affect microbial growth.
- Describe the information that can be interpreted from a growth curve; name the four phases and know what makes each unique
TCO 5 – Given a nutritional requirements of a microorganism, analyze the processes of microbial metabolism

- Compare and contrast viruses, virions, prions, and viroids.
TCO 8 –Analyze methods of controlling microbial growth in the environment and in the body.
- Describe the appropriate physical and/or chemical methods of controlling microbial growth when given a particular scenario (e.g. sterilizing insulin, saline solution, fresh fruits/veggies, goggles; de-germing local injection site, table tops, etc.)
- Summarize the mode of action of major groups of antimicrobial and antiviral drugs.
- Summarize practices that have led to increased bacterial antibiotic resistance and strategize ways to limit this increased resistance.
- Describe factors to be taken into account when selecting antimicrobial and antiviral drugs, including drug effects on patients.
TCO 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
- Differentiate between the five different classes of antibodies.
- Differentiate between passive and active acquired immunity.
TCO 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.
TCO 11 – Given a patient with the symptoms of influenza or another infectious disease, identify the causative agent and analyze its pathogenicity.
