Microbiology 3

This course is designed to deepen the knowledge of microbiology for students wishing to continue their studies in this discipline.

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

Bacteria with special morphology will be presented.  

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

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

Lastly, the EU will look at the concept of the microbiota and present the latest data on the nature of the human microbiota and its role in health.
