    Anatomical basis of disease in mammals. Emphasis on concepts of pathogenesis of disease, and the gross, microscopic and clinicopathological changes associated with lesions: cell injury and death; cellular degeneration; disturbances of growth and circulation; neoplasia; inflammation; and recognition of gross and microscopic tissue changes. Background in immunology will be beneficial. Dual listed with MICR 4130; cross listed with PATB 5130. Prerequisite: C or better in LIFE 2022.
  • 2.00 Credits

    Intended as a survey of the molecular mechanisms that have evolved in pathogenic bacterial species which result is disease. The broad-scoped objective is to assist students in gaining an understanding of principals and concepts as they apply to common themes of bacterial virulence acting on higher order host organisms. In-class review/discussion of scholarly manuscripts, historical to present day, is paramount in allowing students to gain a better appreciation and comprehension of biological principals and concepts through knowledge of experimental approaches. Dual listed with MICR 4220; cross listed with PATB 4220/5220. Prerequisites: PATB/MICR 2220 and statistics (or epidemiology).
