BIOL 476 - Bacterial Pathogenesis

Credits: 3

Bacterial Pathogenesis is designed to introduce the Biology major to the diverse ways bacterial pathogens cause disease at the cellular and organismal levels, with an emphasis on bacterial pathogens. This lecture course will lay a strong foundation for the understanding of host-parasite interactions, mechanisms of pathogenicity, and a general knowledge of infectious disease. Primary literature that addresses the newest developments of bacterial pathogenicity will be integrated into the required reading. Students will be required, at the end of the course, to give a presentation on an assigned pathogen which will focus on the topics covered in the class. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 375 and BIOL 376 or BIOL 272; and BIOL 333 and BIOL 334; or consent of the instructor
