Inhaltliche Voraussetzungen (erwartete Kenntnisse)

Basic knowledge in microbiology
Lehrziel

After successful completion of this lecture, students have gained insight into the mechanisms of selected microbial diseases as a basis for the design of anti-infective therapies.

Students are able
… to assess the infectious potential arising from fungi, bacteria, and viruses
… to define the structure-function relationships governing pathogenicity
… to identify health risks arising from fungi, bacteria, and viruses in different
… to apply their knowledge in the way of looking at scientific challenges in the design of anti-infective therapies

Students have acquired theoretical competence in detection and analysis of infectious organisms.
