Microbiology 1

Data

Official data in SubjectManager for the following academic year: 2019-2020

Topic

During the course the morphology, physiology of microbes, the techniques of disinfection and sterilization, the basics of antimicrobial therapy and the drugs used will be discussed. The host-parasite interactions, the factors playing roles in the pathogenesis of infections, the defense mechanisms of the host and the modes of prevention will be detailed. In this semester some lecture from systematic bacteriology are given. The objective is to provide a solid microbiological basis that will contribute to understanding detailed microbiology and further pharmacological studies.
