VMPM 6250: Mechanisms of Bacterial Pathogenesis
(Cross-listed with MICRO 6250).
Credits: 3. Contact Hours: Lecture 3.
Review of current concepts in specific areas of microbial pathogenesis including the genetic basis for bacterial disease, genetic regulation and control of virulence factors and their mechanisms of action, and host-pathogen interactions at the cellular and molecular levels. The application of microbial genetics to understanding pathogenesis will be included. Offered odd-numbered years. (Typically Offered: Spring)
