MICR 4220 - Molecular Mechanisms of Bacterial Pathogenesis

Credits: 3
Intended as a survey of the molecular mechanisms that have evolved in pathogenic bacterial species which result in disease. The broad-scoped objective is to assist students in gaining an understanding of principles and concepts as they apply to common themes of bacterial virulence acting on higher order host organisms. In-class review/discussion of scholarly manuscripts, historical to present day, is paramount in allowing students to gain a better appreciation and comprehension of biological principles and concepts through knowledge of experimental approaches.
