BACTERIOLOGY.

Professor Tuttle.

Bacteriology is taught by lectures and practical work in the laboratory.
It is the object of the course to give the students a clear idea of the biology
of the bacteria; their affinities as plants, their structure, and their physiology
being considered as the basis for the further discussion of their economic relations,
their action as causes of disease, and the methods resorted to for
their manipulation: the specific discussion of the pathogenic bacteria of
clinical importance is relegated to the course in Pathology. The various
processes of bacteriological technique are fully illustrated and demonstrated
in the laboratory. The work of the students comprises special practice in
those processes which are of value to the general practitioner as a means of
diagnosis.
