Explores ways in which microbial pathogens interact with their hosts from a molecular and genetics perspective. Topics include: general pathogenic mechanisms of bacteria, bacterial virulence factors and their genetic regulation; molecular genetic approaches to studying pathogenesis; and various model systems which have been used to understand pathogenic mechanisms. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hoursPrerequisite(s): BMIS 325.3 or permission of the department. Note: Students with credit for MCIM 425 and BMIS 825 will not receive credit for this course.
