Bacterial Pathogenesis

1 Credit · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

This course will explore strategies that bacterial pathogens use to survive and multiply within their hosts, as well as some of the counter strategies hosts use to fight off infection. The primary focus will be in molecular terms and on core principles that emphasize similarities among pathogens including mechanisms of secretion, toxin action, and regulation. These concepts will be illuminated through the use of primary research articles.
