Classroom sessions and practicals illustrate the variety and importance of microbes, with an emphasis on human health. We will isolate, grow and identify bacteria from different sources, see how they move, investigate how antibiotics work and how resistance is spread. We also delve into the world of pathogens and 'unculturables', touching on the latest developments revolutionising the way we view microbes. Taught in the Department of Biochemistry (1km, c.15 mins walk). NB You are advised not to do this course if you are immune-compromised as it may involve handling pathogen cultures.
