Modulinhalte
Lecture:
In the first lectures, basic knowledge of general and specific bacteriology is taught. Subsequently, antibiotic resistance as well as resistance mechanisms are explained in more detail. Finally, the topic of horizontal gene transfer and mobile genetic elements will be discussed.

Seminar:
The seminar will address with the topic of antibiotic resistances. Students gain initial experience in formulating a scientific question and designing experiments to answer it. Different cloning strategies are discussed in detail.

Practical course:
The methods developed in the seminar will be put into practice. Antibiotic resistance plasmids will be modified using various techniques and the effects of these manipulations on bacterial physiology and resistance patterns will be investigated.
Literaturempfehlungen
Textbooks of microbiology. Current literature on antibiotic resistances and horizontal gene transfer will be announced in the lecture.
