OBJECTIVES: To enable the students to

• Acquire fairly good knowledge about the microbial pathogens and its impact upon health.
• Learn and understand the conceptual and experimental basics of microbiology to continue to develop a scientific attitude towards problem solving and the creation and testing of hypothesis to gain a greater appreciation, analyze logically about the interconnectedness of the general principles and concepts of microbiology in pharmaceutical sciences.

UNIT I	INTRODUCTION	6

Basics of microbial existence; history of microbiology, classification and nomenclature of microorganisms,microscopicexaminationofmicroorganisms,lightandelectronmicroscopy; principles of different staining techniques like gram staining, acid fast, capsular staining, flagellar staining. Sterilization: Detail study of different methods of sterilization including their merits and demerits.

UNIT II	MICROBES- STRUCTURE AND MULTIPLICATION	12

Structural organization and multiplication of bacteria, viruses, algae and fungi with special mention of life history of actinomycetes, yeast, mycoplasma and bacteriophages.

UNIT III	MICROBIAL NUTRITION, GROWTH AND METABOLISM	12

Nutritional requirements of bacteria;differentmediausedfor bacterial culture;growthcurve and different methods to quantify bacterial growth; aerobic and anaerobic bioenergetics and utilization of energy for biosynthesis of important molecules.

UNIT IV	CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGY	6

Physical and chemical control of microorganisms; host-microbe interactions; anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral agents; mode of action and resistance to antibiotics; clinically important microorganisms.

UNIT V	INDUSTRIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY	9

Primary metabolites; secondary metabolites and their applications; preservation of food; production of penicillin, alcohol, vitamin B-12; biogas; bioremediation; leaching of ores by microorganisms; biofertilizers and biopesticides; microorganisms and pollution control; biosensors

TOTAL : 45 PERIODS

OUTCOMES: The student will be able to

• Describe about the fundamental concepts, principles and clinical and environmental applications of Microbiology with special reference to Pharmaceutical Industries.
• Solve problems in the context of this understanding of microorganisms and the role they play in health and disease.
