Description
Section information text: The vast and overwhelming majority of bacteria on this planet are incapable of causing diseases, and often disease-causing bacteria are closely related to non-pathogenic strains. Furthermore, a non-pathogenic strain can be converted to a pathogenic strain through the acquisition of genes. Students enrolled in this course will gain in-depth knowledge of the function and dissemination of genes involved in virulence and antibiotic resistance. They will also learn about the non-pathogenic bacteria that inhabit the human body. Topics covered include lateral gene transfer, mobile genetic elements, toxin production, and the human microbiome project.
