Microbiology Courses
This list is divided into two sections:
Course Primarily for Medical Students
100. Microbiology and Infectious Diseases I.
6 weeks, last half of fall semester. Jeff Weiser, Director.
Introduction to the nature of microbial organisms and a comprehensive survey
of infectious diseases of humans, with major emphasis on the biology of the
infectious process. Important infectious pathogenic agents (bacteria, viruses,
protozoa) are studied in terms of their physiological functions
and the properties which permit them to be pathogens, the epidemiology and
pathogenesis of the infections, analysis of the dynamic interactions between
invading organisms and the defense mechanisms of the invaded hosts, the clinical
pictures of the disease states, principles of action of appropriate chemotherapeutic
agents, and prevention of infection. The laboratory exercises provide an introduction
to basic microbiology and modern diagnostic and clinical microbiology. Microbiological
conferences with small groups of students supplement the lectures, conferences
and laboratories.
Courses primarily for Graduate Students
Courses for graduate students are divided into three levels: 400 (advanced
undergraduate and introductory graduate courses), 500 (basic graduate courses),
and 600 (advanced graduate and seminar courses). Listings are limited to courses
of particular interest to students in microbiology, virology, and immunology,
and do not include many other courses available to graduate students.
