BIO 406  - Medical Microbiology

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 4
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4

Although the vast majority of microbes are non-pathogenic, many are capable of causing disease in other organisms including humans. This course emphasizes 1) host-microbe interactions between bacterial or viral pathogens and the human host; and 2) the molecular and genetic contributions of both host and microbe in establishment of infection. Topics that will be covered include microbial pathogenesis, microbial genetics, host susceptibility, and mechanisms of antimicrobial control, both immunological and chemical. The course is a combination of lecture, laboratory, and journal club discussions.

Prerequisite(s): Successful completion (CD or higher) of BIO 310   or consent of instructor; BIO 401  recommended.
