PRESENTATION

Learning outcomes

  • Understand the fundamental mechanisms by which bacterial microorganisms adapt to their microenvironment during the infectious process.
  • Gain a better understanding of the host response to pathogens (Cellular Microbiology)
  • Understand the mechanisms associated with viral infection and the role of viruses as tools.
  • Understand the nature and roles of the human intestinal microbiota

PREREQUISITES

Before the start of the course, I must ...
  • knowledge of prokaryotic and eukaryotic genetics
  • knowledge of molecular biology
  • knowledge of general microbiology

OBJECTIVES

By the end of this course, I should be able to...
  • Understand the infectious strategies of pathogenic bacteria and eukaryotic viruses.
  • Understand the methodological approaches used to study the microbiota and its role in certain major functions.

CONTENT

  • Laetitia Davidovic seminar

    Romain Lotte seminar

    Prof. R. Ruimy's seminar

  • 3 main themes will be addressed:

    1. Quorum Sensing: or how bacteria communicate with each other to achieve concerted action on a population scale!
    2. Bacterial biofilm: or how bacteria live in mono-, multi-species or even multi-regen communities enveloped in an exopolysaccharide matrix.
    3. Virulence factors: definition, pathogenicity islands and secretion systems

  • Introduction to viruses, viral cycles, epidemiology
