2016 Microbes and the Immune System

Microbes and the Immune System ---- Microbes Reference List - 2017

During the MIS course, you will hear of many of the microbes listed below and will study some in more depth. There are many ways to group them. Eventually, and before
taking the USMLE - for each of the organisms you should know:
(use Levinson, Review of Medical Microbiology and Immunology as resource)

A. Structure, classification, mechanism of replication, virulence factors

B. Pathogenesis and clinical findings
C. Reservoir and mechanism of transmission
D. Methods for treatment, prevention, control
