MIIM20001 Comprehensive H1 Lecture Notes

Description

These notes comprehensively and concisely cover all 12 weeks of lecture content. The text is brightly colour coded to assist with memory and clarity. Dot points and lists are frequently used to help make sense of the more complicated topics. I used these notes to achieve an H1 in Principles of Microbiology & Immunology in semester 1 of 2020. Colour code key is included at the end of the document. Topics covered include: - introduction and history - bacterial cells - bacterial metabolism - parasites - fungi - gene structure, replication and mutation - gene expression and regulation - plasmids - bacteriophage and transposons - microbial genomics and evolution - the hosts - the immune system - innate immunity - adaptive immunity - immunity to infection - bacterial pathogenesis, invasion and evasion - bacterial toxins - antibiotic control - global health and pandemics - virus replication and pathogenesis - antivirals - vaccines - recombinant protein expression - genetic manipulation of microbes - corona virus
