The Pathogenesis of Staphylococcal and Streptococcal Diseases (U02640)

? Credit Points : 10  ? SCQF Level : 10  ? Acronym : MED-4-MI04

Staphylococci and Streptococci are major human and animal pathogens. We will explore how these Gram-positive bacteria have evolved potent virulence mechanisms to evade the host immune response and cause diseases ranging from skin abscesses to life-threatening endocarditis. Student presentations of selected research articles will form the basis for group discussions.
