This course has two main objectives.
The first objective is the transmission of knowledge on host-pathogen relations. We will begin by stating the criteria used to classify a microorganism as pathogenic. The factors influencing the host-pathogen balance and the arms race between the host and its pathogens will be illustrated by concrete examples.
The second objective of this course is to enable the learner to understand how these host-pathogenic relationships have been characterized. We will detail many experiments starting with the state of the art, then ask the scientific question, report the experience and finally draw the conclusions. It is therefore the understanding of this fundamental research process that represents the second objective of this course.
Oral examination on the subject of theoretical lectures and seminars.
Scientific publications and seminars.
