The student must consider that in order to pass this subject he / she should have previously completed and passed the subjects of previous courses. The student must have previous knowledge of Biology.
The subject MICROBIOLOGY I will present and give the student the general theoretical-practical bases for knowledge and recognition of microorganisms. Their generalities, morphologies, metabolisms, their own locations or habitats and their interactions with the surrounding environment. It will also allow you to know the methodological and practical bases of manipulation in a laboratory of microbiology, basic classification, and control of the growth of microorganisms in the laboratory.
The subject MICROBIOLOGY I, together with MICROBIOLOGY II and PARASITOLOGY, constitutes the base of microbiological knowledge essential for the knowledge and development of therapeutic strategies for the control of microorganisms.
