About microbial pathogenesis and host-pathogen interactions notes
GoConqr OriginalUsing microbial pathogenesis and host-pathogen interactions notes
Start with Infection and Disease for an introduction to relationships between hosts and microorganisms. It distinguishes mutualistic and commensal relationships, giving you terms to use as you read the more focused notes.
Bacterial pathogenesis introduces terminology for bacteria and disease. The notes on anthrax virulence and cholera then offer examples of toxins associated with specific pathogens. Toxins groups toxins by the parts of the body they affect. The skin microbiome notes look at an ecosystem and its interactions with the host.
Revise with notes
After reading a note, write a short summary in your own words, then check it against the original. Compare the terms in the overview notes with the examples in a more focused resource. If you want to test recall or see connections visually, switch to a quiz or mind map on the unit page. Pick a topic and open a note to begin.
Frequently asked questions
Which note should I start with?
Start with Infection and Disease if you want an overview of relationships between hosts and microorganisms. It introduces mutualistic and commensal relationships. Bacterial pathogenesis is another starting point for terminology, including the distinction between a pathogen and a commensal.
What topics do these notes cover?
The notes cover host and microorganism relationships, bacterial pathogenesis and toxins. There are also focused notes on anthrax virulence and cholera, as well as notes on the skin microbiome. Together, they offer both introductory terminology and examples to explore in more detail.
Are the notes free to use?
Yes. Every note listed here is free to open and study, with no account needed. The notes were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr. A free account also lets you save quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
