Microbiology 3

This course aims to deepen the knowledge of microbiology for students who wish to continue their studies in this discipline.

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

Bacteria with particular morphology will be presented.  

In virology, the pathophysiology of viral infections and the prevention and control of viral diseases will be presented. The mechanisms of escape from the immune system will be detailed. The mechanisms of virus evolution will be described and related to viral emergence.

The parasitic mode of life of some eukaryotic microorganisms will be illustrated by describing their obligatory intracellular development and the modifications of the host cell induced by these parasites.

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