The module aims to provide students with the skills, knowledge, and methodological tools necessary to:
- relate the specific characteristics of the composition, structure, and physiology of the main medically relevant bacteria, viruses, and fungi to the onset and progression of infectious diseases
- apply knowledge of bacterial biology to the selection of drugs for antibiotic therapy and infection prevention methods
- understand the methodological approach (pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical phases) of microbiological diagnosis of infections
- assess occupational biological risk
