Course Overview
|
|
|
Welcome to the Veterinary Bacteriology and Mycology (PBS 703/517) web site. The purpose of this course is to provide
veterinary medical students with an overview of the pathogenesis of bacterial and
fungal infections of animals. This includes an introduction to the basic characteristics of bacteria and fungi, what
implications these have for antimicrobial therapy, and a discussion of the major genera of pathogenic bacteria and fungi.
We will describe the organisms themselves, as well as provide an overview of the diagnosis, pathogenesis, host
response and antimicrobial therapy of the most important bacterial and fungal pathogens.
It is assumed that students taking this course have not had a previous course in microbiology. We will attempt to provide you the information you need to be prepared for the clinical courses in medicine in the third year.
