The course aims at obtaining basic microbiological knowledge (morphology, growth ability, isolation site), both for opportunistic pathogenic bacteria and for pathogenic pathogens.
The main microorganisms of clinical interest and involved in the development of nosocomial infections will be treated. The student will acquire the tools to assess the importance of the pathogen in relation to the guest.

Epidemiological aspects of infectious diseases.
The bacterial cell, basic components and accessory components (bacterial sporulation).
Methods of sterilization and disinfection.
Normal bacterial flora.
Host-parasitic interaction and pathogenesis of infectious diseases.
Antibiotic and Antibiotic Resistance Mechanism: In vitro antimicrobial activity evaluation (antibiogram, MIC, MBC).
Methods of clinical specimens sampling, for microbiological analysis and their proper conservation.
Direct and indirect diagnostic tools: microscopic, coltural; diagnostic by manual / automated and molecular systems (gene amplification, mass spectrometry), serology.
General characters of bacteria of medical interest, with particular attention to staphylococci, streptococci and enterobacteria.

SPECIAL MICROBIOLOGY
