Section 1: Medical Microbiology & Immunology
The Medical Microbiology course has been formulated to impart basic and medically relevant information on the microbes. The microbial structure, growth and development, methods and role of sterilization in the context of study of microbes are included. The pathogenic microbes and the diseases caused by them are included to broaden the perspective of the subject. This course will also focus on mechanisms of microbial pathogenesis and the host response, and the scientific approaches that are used to investigate these processes. Lastly the course deals with the problem of emerging antimicrobial resistance with reference to known pathogens. |
