MICRB 510 - Advanced Topics in Bacterial Structure and Virulence Factors

★ 3 (fi 6) (second term, 3-0-0) The bacterial cell wall is discussed in the context of cell growth, cell division, and as a target for antimicrobial therapy. This course also covers relevant aspects of the structure and function of virulence factors, with an emphasis on secretion systems and other toxin delivery mechanisms. Students will analyze primary literature and participate in problem-solving exercises. Lectures are the same as for MICRB 410 but with additional assignments and evaluation appropriate to graduate studies. Prerequisite: consent of instructor. Credit cannot be obtained for both MICRB 410 and 510.
