More about this course
- Most of us have experienced common diseases like flu or less common ones like pneumonia. On this course, you'll learn how pathogens cause infectious diseases and how these diseases are transmitted. You'll examine the bacterial resistance to antibiotics, how this leads to serious infections like MRSA and reflect on approaches to address this problem. You'll learn how the body's immune system fights off disease and how resistance is gained. You'll apply this knowledge to explore why immunization has been crucial in reducing the occurrence of disease or even eradicating deadly diseases.
