MPhil兽医微生物学

医学和兽医微生物学是对引起人或动物感染的媒介物的研究：细菌，病毒，真菌或寄生虫。医学和兽医微生物学是对引起人或动物感染的媒介物的研究：细菌，病毒，真菌或寄生虫。这包括对病原体毒力的潜在机制，病原体的诊断和鉴定，病原体流行病学以及抗菌素耐药性的研究。在IGH中，我们研究具有重要经济意义的人类和动物的传染原。该研究的目的是研究感染期间病原体的传播途径和行为，并利用该知识设计更好的治疗策略或疫苗，以改善人类和动物的健康。
Medical and Veterinary Microbiology are the study of the agents responsible for causing human or animal infections: bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. The University of Liverpool's Institute of Infection and Global Health was established to bring together leading medical, veterinary and basic science researchers from across the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences.<br>Medical and Veterinary Microbiology are the study of the agents responsible for causing human or animal infections: bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. This includes the study of underlying mechanisms of pathogen virulence, diagnostics and identification of pathogens, pathogen epidemiology, and antimicrobial resistance. In IGH we study infectious agents in both humans and animals of economic importance.<br>Research in Medical Microbiology is based in new laboratories at three sites, the Ronald Ross Building, IC2 and Leahurst. It encompasses studies of the pathogenicity, diagnostics, identification, epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance of a range of bacterial pathogens including: Streptococcus pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. We have strong groups working on zoonotic pathogens, such as Campylobacter, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella. Techniques used include: pathogen culture and diagnostic identification methods, PCR and transcriptomic and genomic technologies, including metagenomics, resequencing and genotyping cell separation, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, proteomics and infection models.<br>The aims of the research are to investigate the transmission routes and behaviour of pathogens during infections and use this knowledge to design better therapeutic strategies or vaccines in order to improve the health of humans and animals.
