The Dental Microbiology course is designed to acquaint the student with the various ways that infectious agents interact with the human host. The course uses lectures, reviews and, if necessary, individual tutorials to examine these interactions. Lectures are devoted to structure morphology and replication of viruses, bacteria and eukaryotic parasites. Host reaction to the presence of the agents (including, specifically, the response of the immune system) are also studied. Other host reactions such as hypersensitivity and immune mechanisms involved in transplantation and graft rejection are detailed. A large part of the course is devoted to the study of infectious diseases which may be transmitted by dentists and to which they are particularly susceptible, e.g., tuberculosis, hepatitis and HIV.
