Course description
Study about the basic technique for handling of microbes, sterile technique, handling technique of experimental animals, methods for culture media preparation, procedure of cell culture, handling techniques of bacteria and virus, methods for bacteria culture, staining and identification and methods of major serological tests for diagnosis of animal infectious diseases. And understand the principal of these techniques include biochemical nature inspection, serological tests (immune response and basic antigen-antibody reaction).
Expected Learning
Acquire the sterile technique, handling technique of experimental animals, methods for culture media preparation, procedure of cell culture, handling techniques of bacteria and virus, methods for bacteria culture, staining and identification and methods of serological tests. Understand the principal of immune response and basic antigen-antibody reaction.
Course schedule
1) Media preparation for bacteria culture, Bacteria culture , Observation of bacterial colonies, Gram’s stain and microscopic observation of bacteria.
2) Antibiotic sensitivity test.
3) Biochemical nature inspection for intestinal bacteria.
4) Cell culture in vitro, passage of cells, virus inoculation, observation of cytopathic effect (CPE), virus titration.
5) Detection of anti-bovine herpes virus-1 antibodies from bovine serum by ELISA.
5)Basic serological test (slide agglutination test, gel diffusion precipitation test, tube agglutination test).
Prerequisites
Have to be studying or already finish the course of “General Veterinary Microbiology”
Required Text(s) and Materials

Assessment/Grading
We emphasize attendance rate is above all. Students who take this practice have to turn in the reports every practice topics. Estimation is performed addition of point of attendance (60%), report (30%) and attitude of tackling to practice (10%).
Message from instructor(s)
Never forget this practice is the training for handling of pathogenic microbes that cause infectious diseases in some cases. Eating and drinking at the practical room during the practice is strictly forbidden. Anyone who left a white robe and scuffs cannot receive the practice. When there are students who misbehave oneself and take a dangerous behavior during this practice, these students have to get out from this practice room.
