General Microbiology

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  In the course of General Microbiology are introduced  the knowledge  of biology and genetics of bacterial cell, taxonomy and microbial diversity as a result of changes in mechanisms and transferring genetic material. Fundamental knowledge of the mechanisms of action of some antibiotics and bacterial resistance mechanisms are transmitted. Mycology and Parasitology  fundamentals. The practical component complements the theoretical and the student will acquire the basic skills in safety standards and techniques m ore common Microbiology.  Promotion of autonomy and accountability for laboratory tasks are important for development of critical analysis and ability to communicate information to peers.

• MetodologiaMethodology

  In practical classes, the student has prior access to the experimental protocols to be carried out in each class session, which allows for prior reading and preparation. These protocols are accompanied by a set of questions, in order to ensure individual preparation and, subsequently, the discussion of procedures and results.
