BI 362 - bacterial Pathogenesis: a Molecular Approach

Institution:

Skidmore College

Subject:

Description:

An exploration of the latest techniques used to study bacteria-host interactions at the molecular level. The course delves into common obstacles that disease-causing bacteria must overcome in order to colonize a human host and the general strategies bacteria have evolved to overcome these obstacles. Comparisons will be made to symbiotic bacteria-host interactions and questions such as "How did pathogenic bacteria evolve " will be addressed. Grounded in current published research, the class will also explore, at the molecular level, mechanisms used by specific pathogens to colonize and damage host tissue. Prerequisites: BI106 and 246, 245 recommended. S. Franke
