The subject deals with cellular and molecular biology of host-pathogen interactions, placing a particular emphasis on mechanisms by which bacteria manipulate the immunity of the host. Specific attention is paid to regulation of gene expression and to genes involved in virulence of bacterial pathogens. The mechanisms of evasion from host immunity and action of adhesins, toxins and other virulence factors are analyzed in detail using prototypic examples of human and animal pathogens.

The students will acquire profound knowledge in the fields of bacteriology, antiinfectious immunity, molecular mechanisms of bacterial virulence and cellular action of bacterial toxins. The potential practical use of acquired knowledge is in research, vaccine and diagnostics develeopment and clinical in microbiology laboratories Last update: Kubová Petra (11.04.2018)
