Introduction to Medical Microbiology: History, Methods, and Causality — Medical Microbiology

Microbiology · Basic Sciences

How it begins

De la generación espontánea a la teoría microbiana, postulados clásicos de Koch y moleculares de Falkow, taxonomía por ARNr 16S, patógenos primarios vs oportunistas, bioseguridad BSL-1 a BSL-4, MALDI-TOF, pandemias históricas y señalización innata por PAMPs/PRRs.
