Objectives
Acquire knowledge , skills, abilities and methods of analysis applied to research and laboratory diagnosis in Medical Bacteriology . At the end of this course , doctoral students will be able to : - Process and transmit advanced knowledge on the pathophysiology and diagnosis of infections caused by bacteria . - recognize the fundamentals and principles of medical bacteriology and their applications in diagnosis and applied research ; - analyze, criticize and evaluate experimental work protocols for the application of laboratory diagnostic methods in medical bacteriology ; their advantages and limitations ; - summarize and define the scientific concepts from diverse sources of valid information ; - plan and conduct research , and laboratory protocols , respecting the requirements imposed by methodological own quality standards of the scientific method and laboratory diagnosis . It is intended that the doctoral student contacts with the knowledge , methods and techniques of experimental analysis in the areas of medical bacteriology, genetics and molecular biology , biochemistry, cell biology , among others , to enable you to implement and develop independent work in a lab bacteriology research projects applied in an autonomous way .
Subject matter
Clinical aspects, epidemiological and therapeutic bacterial infections. - Characterization of the biological agent (s) (s) bacterial (s) (genomic characteristics, structural or physiological) - Methods used to make your bacteriological diagnosis (isolation, identification and antibiotic), - Run as complementary techniques that allow collecting data from taxonomic, systematic, epidemiological and possible biotechnological and environmental (bioinformatics, molecular taxonomy, typing of bacteria, fermenting technology, bioremediation) oriented applications. - Theoretical and practical lectures/classes: Processing of samples for mycobacteria isolation and culture techniques. Identification methods. Antibiotic susceptibility of mycobacteria.
