This is the first discipline in the area of Microbiology, of this course. It main goal is to make students sensitive to the Microbiology relevance to Pharmaceutical Sciences with particular emphasis in Bacteriology. Students should get the ability to integrate the basic knowledge of the microbial world. Acquired skills will make them able to interpret concepts of different microbial areas relevant in the state of art in health and environment.
Theoretical program aims to drive students in the study of Microbiology basics showing general characteristics of microbial entities (bacteria, fungi, parasites and virus) and also the man/microorganism relationship as etiological agent of infection. Bacterial cell organization, ultra-structure and metabolism of will be studied as a model of the most relevant agent of infection and microbial contamination. Bacterial genetics and antimicrobial therapeutics will be addressed in an integrated way with the previous concepts. Laboratorial program aims to introduce students in classical methodologies in Microbiology as morphological characterization, metabolism and genetics and also support experimentally concepts discussed in theoretical classes.
