SCIENZE MEDICHE E MICROBIOLOGICHE

Module MICROBIOLOGIA E MICROBIOLOGIA CLINICA

The aim of the course is to provide students with a solid knoeledge of the basics of microbiology, with particular attention to pathogenic microorganisms and related diseases

N.B The verification of learning can also be carried out electronically, should the conditions require it.
