Microbiology and Basic Molecular Biology

**Module 1. Theory 8 ECTS** This module covers the molecular processes that govern growth, structure, and function in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The course focuses on the genetic information flow according to the central dogma, especially regulation of DNA replication, transcription, and translation. Furthermore, it addresses fundamental prokaryotic genetics, including the transfer of genetic material, as well as bacterial physiology, including antibiotic resistance mechanisms.  **Module 2. Laboratory Work 5 ECTS** This module provides training in microbiological and molecular biological techniques.  **Module 3. Practical Professional Training (PPT) - Oral Presentation 2 ECTS** This module provides training in searching, reading, discussing, and presenting scientific literature in microbiology and molecular biology.
