Learning Objectives
t the end of this course the students shall acquire knowledge concerning the nature and characteristics of the main infectious agents (bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses). They will know the mode of their transmission. They will acquire knowledge about the cellular and molecular mechanisms of microbial pathogenicity and the interactions
between infectious agent and host. They will learn the mechanisms of action of antimicrobial agents and the mechanisms of microbial drug resistance. They will know the principles of laboratory diagnosis of infections. The students will acquire a general vision of the main pathogenic agents of medical interest
