Learning outcomes |
Study in an integrated way the therapeutics and diagnosis of various infectious processes produced by bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses that can occur to a human level
At the end of this course unit the student will be able to:
- Know, how to apply the principles of general pharmacology on pharmacology of infection.
- Describe and discuss bacterial infections, fungal infections, parasites and viral infections.
-Identify key groups of molecules used against infections
- Describe and recognise the symptoms of major infectious diseases
-Run the laboratory diagnostic tests of the main infectious diseases
- Choose the therapy of the main infectious diseases
- Analyze structure-activity relationship.

Syllabus |
Introduction to the pharmacology of infection. Major groups of molecules used against bacterial infections, fungal infections, parasites and viral infections: mechanisms of action, resistance mechanisms, pharmacokinetic parameters and side effects. Symptoms and laboratory diagnostic tests of the main pathologies produced by bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses. Basic clinical factors for the election of an anti-infective treatment. Treatment of major infectious diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses. Systematic study of several groups of drugs. Structure-Activity Relationships.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The teaching learning process is organized in theoretical and theo-practical tutorials and laboratorial activities. In class tutorials all contents are developed through the analysis and discussion of papers/slides/chapters of books and by solving problems. The program is divided into 8 themes and for each theme exists a laboratory activity in which the main objective is the integration of the knowledge acquired in the tutorials and the acquisition of skills on microbiology, virology, Mycology and Parasitology laboratory practices.
The evaluation is continuous and summative: theoretical knowledge (A = 0 to 14), practical knowledge (B = 0 to 6),
