BIOL 446 - Bacterial Pathogenesis

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

This seminar will examine the intricate relationship between a bacterial pathogen and a mammalian host. Bacteria have evolved a wide array of virulence factors that allow them to circumvent host defense mechanisms and cause disease. Many of these virulence factors have been identified and studied at the molecular level. Additionally, a study of the host immune system is essential for an understanding of the ability of microorganisms to cause disease. The molecular biology of bacterial virulence as well as the host response to pathogens will be examined through readings and discussions of the primary literature. Prerequisite: C- or better in Biology 221 or Biology 224 and at least one of the following: Biology 227, 244, 308, or 317. 1.00 units, Seminar
