Aims
To provide an understanding of the microbial principles that underline advanced microbiological technology
Learning Outcomes
1.
Demonstrate an ability to analyse complex data sets from a range of bioinformatics sources.
2.
Design a microbial process to produce a desired product
3.
Exhibit a clear understanding of the mechanisms and associated molecular entities that confer antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Antibiotic production, new generation sequencing, bioremediation, antibiotic/antiviral resistance and surveillance, rapid methods, recombinant products, imaging techniques, flow cytometry, current microbial processes, phage therapy.
Module Overview:
This module will build upon core knowledge in microbiology covered in levels 4 and 5. It will provide you with training and assessment in areas including bioinformatics, new generation sequencing and its applications, antibiotic production, imaging technology, antibiotic resistance, phage therapy and will include the application of microbial processes to bioremediation and also product formation.
