Knowledge of microbiology
Written test, three open
questions about program
topics
Acquisition of the main
methods for microbiological
analysis of food and water
destined for human
consumption
The main topics discussed
are:
- microbiological basic
methods (les.2)
- Plate seeding
techniques (les.3)
- Cultural methods for
counting
microorganisms in
water destined for
human consumption
(les.4)
- Cultural methods for
counting and detection
microorganisms in food
(les.5-6)

The course consists of 12
hours of frontal lessons;
lessons are facilitated by
slide shows in PPT,
delivered to the student at
the end of the lesson
