Description
This course will cover introductory concepts of bacterial and viral pathogens and their interactions with their host. Humans live in constant contact with bacteria and viruses but few cause symptoms. Viral pathogens are distinct from the normal flora in that they cause diseases. Bacterial pathogens are sometimes distinct from the normal flora and sometimes depending on the host environment, normally commensal bacteria can become pathogenic. Bacteria often gain entry to normally sterile locations in the body, and viruses are obligate intracellular parasites and must exploit the host cell for all aspects of their life cycle.
Prerequisite(s): BMSC 200.3 and BMSC 210.3.
Note: Students can take no more than two of the three following courses for credit: BMIS 308.3, MCIM 308.3, and MCIM 309.3.
