Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

In General Microbiology - Immunology students are introduced to such topics as: bacteriology, virology, parasitology, mycology, microbial taxonomy, the interaction between microbes and the host, microbial genetics, basic immunology and immunology related to infectious diseases. Furthermore, they are introduced to the mechanics of antibiotics, disinfectants and antiseptics, as well as to the immunological assays. Lectures are supplemented by tutorials and practicals related to basic microbiological methods, namely microscopy, culture, susceptibility testing, immunological and molecular assays. The above mentioned activities involve small groups of students.
