MICROBIOLOGIA E MICROBIOLOGIA CLINICA - III ANNO

Critically analyze and describe, for each "microbial species": the ways of penetration into the organism,

the differentiated diffusion in the infected host, the presence of antigens in the various parts of the

organism (blood, secretions, excretions) for the purpose of "contagion "And laboratory diagnosis. Monitor

the epidemiology of infectious diseases (public health microbiology)

Frontal oral presentation. Should teaching be carried out in mixed mode or remotely, it may be necessary to introduce changes with respect to previous statements, in line with the programme planned and outlined in the syllabus. Information for students with disabilities and / or SLD: To guarantee equal opportunities and in compliance with the laws in force, interested students can ask for a personal interview in order to plan any compensatory and / or dispensatory measures, based on the teaching objectives and specifications needs. It is also possible to contact the CInAP contact person (Center for Active and Participatory Integration - Services for Disabilities and / or SLD) of the department.
