AUBIO 274 - Microbiology
Introduction to the prokaryotic members of the microbial world. Microbiological diversity will be examined by comparing cellular morphology, structure and metabolism. Topics include how to grow and study microbes, classification approaches and problems, control of microbial growth, pathogenesis and microbial ecology. Co-requisite: AUBIO 260. Credit may be obtained for only one of AUBIO 274 or AUBIO 374 (2022).
AUBIO 475 - Pathogenic Mechanisms of Microorganisms
Examination of the pathogenic mechanisms used by selected bacteria, and protists that cause human diseases. Pathogens will be compared with a focus on the method of entry, colonization and invasion of host tissue used by various microbes and the microbial factors required to cause infection and disease. Epidemiological approaches, antimicrobials and antibiotic resistance will also be presented. Prerequisites: AUBIO 274 or 374 (2022).
