MEDC8070: The Chemistry and Biology of Infectious Diseases
3 Credits
The objectives of this course are to provide a comprehensive overview of antimicrobial agents used in infectious diseases with an emphasis on the underlying foundational principles in chemistry and biology. Antibiotic, antifungal, and antiprotozoal agents will be covered. For each antimicrobial agent, the history, discovery, synthesis, structure-activity relationships, spectrum of activity, clinical uses, mechanism(s) of action, resistance, drug disposition properties, and adverse reactions will be discussed in great detail.
