BIO 236 - Microbial Pathogenesis
Semester Hours: 3
Periodically
The mechanisms of pathogenesis by which cellular microbes invade animal and plant hosts will be explored principally through the analysis of primary literature. Emphasis will be on human bacterial pathogens, although important protist and fungal pathogens will be discussed. Topics include, but are not limited to, pathogen colonization, immune evasion, toxin production and action, biofilms and quorum sensing, and the role of normal microflora in disease prevention.
Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
BIO 025 or 143 or equivalent, or permission of instructor. May not be taken on a Pass/Fail basis. (Formerly BIO 253C: Bacterial Pathogenesis.)
