HLTH305: Medical Microbiology
This unit offers an understanding of micro-organisms in the context of human health. In the first module, students are introduced to the world of microbial structure and function particularly in relation to their role in health and disease. The second module of basic immunology outlines the importance of non-specific and specific (humoral and cellular) defence mechanisms of the human body. The third module is a system based approach to infectious diseases—major human diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, protozoa and fungi are discussed. General principles of public health and of infection control are discussed in the context of a primary care health worker.
