Infectious Microbes and Disease
Tracking # 20-1319211
Course overview
Understanding the causation and transmission of infectious disease is important in preventing and controlling the spread of disease. While medications exist to treat infectious diseases, some pathogenic bacteria have evolved to possess additional mechanisms needed for survival. Surviving bacteria are often resistant; these survivors reproduce and, by natural selection, become the dominant organisms in the host. This course provides information about infections, antibiotic resistance, colonization, and breaking the chain of disease. The goal of this course is to broaden and update laboratory professionals' knowledge of infectious disease causation and prevention.
