Learning Outcomes
- demonstrate understanding of the diverse molecular mechanisms used by pathogens to invade mammalian hosts.
- describe the range of toxins produced by pathogenic bacteria and the molecular mechanisms they use to deliver these toxins to mammalian hosts.
- describe the molecular mechanisms pathogenic microbes use to evade the mammalian host immune response.
- do independent literature research on a current topic in microbial pathogenesis and critically evaluate that literature.
- develop transferable skills that are important for the students’ future, in particular written communication.
