Microbiology 3

This course unit aims to deepen students' knowledge of microbiology for those who wish to pursue further studies in this discipline.

She will discuss molecular genetics applied to prokaryotes (mobile genetic elements and resistance, CRISPR, 2-component system, quorum sensing, horizontal transfers, etc.) and the specificities of bacterial metabolism.

Bacteria with a particular morphology will be presented.  

In virology, the pathophysiology of viral infections, as well as the prevention and control of viral diseases, will be presented. Mechanisms of immune evasion will be detailed. Mechanisms of viral evolution will be described and linked to viral emergence.

The parasitic lifestyle of certain eukaryotic microorganisms will be illustrated by describing their obligatory intracellular development and the changes in the host cell induced by these parasites.

Finally, the EU will address the concept of microbiota and present the latest data on the nature of human microbiota and its role in health.
