Bacteria
| Module Name | Topic | Overview |
|---|---|---|
| Bacteria Really Do Rule! Bacteriology, variation and selection, evolution of resistance | Antibiotic resistance and evolution | Students learn about bacterial variation, antibiotic resistance, and the risk resistance poses to public health through active learning exercises that simulate natural selection and critical assessment of the use of antibiotics. |
| Molecular Biology of Antibiotics | Antibiotic resistance, molecular biology, and bacterial cell biology | Students learn how antibiotics affect bacterial cells, bacterial cell biology, propose their own antibiotic, and justify why the antibiotic would be effective. |
| The Bacterial Side of the Story | Antibiotic Resistance | Students learn how mechanisms of horizontal gene transfer, mutations, and human behavior can lead to antibiotic resistance through a case study. |
