Objectives

The CU pursues the objective of study the rela tionship of microorganisms with other beings and the relationships of microrganisms with each other, and want to prepare the student for issues applied to veterinary medicine, in particular to the study of infectious diseases and other curricular units like, Preventive Veterinary  Medicine, Epidemiology, Pathology, Veterinary Public Health and Sanitary Inspection. So more emphasis is given to the dynamics of the themes of microbial infection, including those linked to their associations and interactions and the host immune response, microbial genetics and biology molecular, systematics and the further study of special groups of bacteria and respective actions, microbial control and its consequences and, finally, the microbiology of water, and bioterrorism, in a etiologic and preventive approach. 

Program

Most of the th emes presented in the Medical Microbiology II is addressed in its relation to infectious disease, which is essential to the understanding of other subjects later taught in other CUs in MIMV. On the other hand, the CU Medical Microbiology II has the particular goals the suds of infection and pathogenesis in their cause-effect relationships, and even the spread of infections and the transmission and spread of infectious diseases. 

Teaching Methodologies

We wish to prepare the student for the events that a res guessed in Medical Microbiology II applied to Medicine Veterinary, so we think we should give more emphasis to the issues on microbial control, microbial genetics applicable to molecular biology, diagnostic and biotechnology, microbiocenosis of the animal, especially the dynamics of microbial infection. It addresses current topics and also relevant, as the study of bacterial assoc iation in biological films, the evasion of immune response, microbiology of water and food and bioterrorism, in an etiologic and preventive approach.
We intend to integrate the teaching of discipline in order to relate the theoretical knowledge to the analysis of concrete situations applied to veterinary medicine. The practical component takes place in specific laboratory .
Evaluation of the laboratory working groups -continuous assessment (40%); Supplementary Assessment (60%).
