Take Care and Think Microbiologically!

These lecture notes were not written, and should not be used, as a substitute for the lecture. Notes are written without complete sentences and with many abbreviations. In my lectures I use many visuals which are NOT in these notes.

You will need to notify your state health department if you have a patient with one of these DISEASES. To view these lecture notes you must use an internet browser (ex. Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer). Clicking on the link will open that file. Some of the "links" you will click on will be to images on other websites and to view them you must be connected to the World Wide Web. They will be different in that these links will be enclosed in "quotation marks". I hope as a result that they will be useful to you. Send comments and mail to Dr. Neal R. Chamberlain, nchamberlain@atsu.edu
