| Microbiology and clinical microbiology
(objectives)
Essential objectives of the course are to learn the classification and taxonomy of the main bacteria, viruses, protozoa and fungi of human interest and diseases related to infections. Furthermore, to address the training development envisaged for a health worker, another objective will be to learn the basic concepts of hygiene and public health, with particular attention to the concepts of health and disease and their determinants, strategies and primary prevention methods and secondary. From a more applicative point of view, the knowledge of the different diagnostic methodologies for such infections will be indispensable. These objectives will be achieved through lectures, seminars and interactive teaching activities, intended to facilitate learning and improve the ability to face and solve the main questions of Microbiology.
