This course covers the basic principles of microbiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology regarding their application to the diagnosis and treatment of microbial diseases in the medical system. A particular emphasis will be placed on the specific mechanisms required to induce a disease state. As such this course will address several topics related to microbial diseases, focusing on those that are representative of classical mechanisms/paradigms of pathogenesis. Topics will include infectious diseases, drug-resistance, methods of diagnosis, issues in disease prevention and control, and emerging/re-emerging pathogens.
Lecture is three hours per week.
Lectures will occur on Tuesday, Thursday 08:30AM - 09:45AM, McDougall Hall, Room 243
