Contents Notions concerning: structure and physiology of bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, host-microorganism interaction; mechanisms of microbial pathogenicity. Information on the main pathogenic microorganisms for humans and associated diseases.
Reference texts Microbiologia Clinica.Eudes Lanciotti. (Casa Editrice Ambrosiana).
Microbiologia Medica (La Placa).
Paths, materials and/or assessment methodologies consistent with the needs of disabled and/or DSA students are provided.
Educational objectives Provide the student with knowledge on the main microorganisms responsible for human pathologies
Prerequisites
Knowledge that the student must possess at the beginning of the teaching lessons in order to understand the contents treated and the learning objectives:
anatomy - important
immunology - useful
biology - useful
general pathology - useful
Teaching methods Lectures. Paths, materials and/or assessment methodologies consistent with the needs of disabled and/or DSA students are provided.
Other information For clarifications, information: claudia.monari@unipg.it
Office hours are agreed periodically with the students
Learning verification modality Oral examination lasting approximately 20 minutes divided into two questions relating to the topics described in the program. A third question on minimum essential knowledge may be asked in case of an unsatisfactory answer to the two main questions. Paths, materials and/or assessment methodologies consistent with the needs of disabled and/or DSA students are provided.

Educational objectives At the end of the course, students are expected to have acquired fundamental knowledge to understand the molecular moments relevant to the etiopathogenesis of diseases, as well as to have knowledge of the main causes of diseases inherent to the particular biological needs during Physiotherapeutic recovery
Prerequisites In order to understand and know how to apply most of the knowledge provided by the teaching it is important to have successfully defended the exams of the first year of the degree course. The student must in fact possess the knowledge of the processes that take place within the cell and within and between the various organs and body systems. Students must know the basics of the profession of phisioterapist.
Teaching methods Frontal lectures. The lectures are on the whole program of the course of study, but are also on specialized topics that emerge from the specific needs of learners, all in a view of a highly vocational intent of the course. Each lesson has a duration of two hours on a specific topic, but relating it to others already exposed, to allow the student to have an integrated vision.
Other information Compulsory attendance.
Schedule of the lessons and exams: The schedule of the lessons and exams is posted on the Course website By appointment through e-mail. Teaching room, Building C, 3th Floor, Medicine and Surgery Course, Piazzale Severi, 1. Perugia.

For students with disabilities see the website http://www.unipg.it/disabilita-e-dsa
Learning verification modality The exam is integrated with the module of Microbiology and Clinical Microbiology and General Pharmacology with a final score derived from the mediation between the votes obtained in the three modules.
The oral tests consist of discussions lasting 20 minutes on average on 2 questions, designed to ascertain:
- Level of knowledge of the topics
- Ability of understanding, connection and integration of information
-Capacity and exhibition of language

For students with disabilities see the website http://www.unipg.it/disabilita-e-dsa
