Infection
Antimicrobials
Syllabus:
The program of General Microbiology will discuss the basic and fundamental concepts of the microbiological world. Special emphasis it will be given to the interdependence of the diverse concepts of structural microbiology, functional microbiology, parasite-host relation and antimicrobial drugs.

Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
The contents are fully consistent with the objective of the course. The workload of each of the content is also suitable for apprenticeship goals.
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
Form of educational performance: Presentation and discussion of relevant theoretical concepts in the classroom, self-study orientation of students by consulting annotated bibliography. Brainstorm on pertinent issues related to the matter exposed in the classroom.
Regarding the laboratory component of the learning labotorial work that reinforce the theoretical learning.
Continuous assessment.
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
Teaching methodologies (theoretical exposition, debate and guidance of self-study and laboratory work) are fully consistent with the objective of the course. The workload of each of the content is also suitable for apprenticeship goals.
