Extended Syllabus The origins of life; the role of microorganisms in different ecosystems.
Biological risk (Classification of biological agents, Bioaerosol, PPE, IMA)
Characteristics of prokaryotic cell, Structure and functions of the cell wall, Cell membrane, accessory structures. Microbial survival strategy: Bacterial Spore, Viable but not Cultivable State, Biofilm.
Gene recombination (Transformation, Conjugation and Transduction; bacteriophages).
Intestinal microbiota (biological functions for humans), probiotics, prebiotics, postbiotics. Microbial phatogenesis.
Antimicrobial agents, Methods of dosage of antimicrobial agents: antibiogram, aromatogram. Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR): one health approach (AMR contrasting areas: medicine, veterinary, environment, agriculture)
Structure and classification of viruses. Viral multiplication. Virus-host cell interactions. Bacteriophages.

Evaluation methods Verification of learning:
The evaluation will be carried out through an oral exam with questions on the topics related to the program covered during the lectures and exercises in the classroom. The final judgment will take into account the knowledge and skills acquired in the field of General Microbiology and Applied Microbiology in the environmental, health and food fields.
