After reviewing the basic knowledge of microbiology, this course covers the basic and topics of pathogenic microorganisms, prevention of infection by them, and chemical therapy using the supplementary materials provided.
The following subjects will be studied during the course.
(1) taxonomy and identification of microorganisms
(2) infection and defense
(3) pathogenic microorganisms
(4) antimicrobial chemotherapy
Microorganisms are utilizable in our personal lives and are used in industry. A large number of valuable antibiotics have been isolated from natural resources so far and used as drugs. This course will provide background knowledge of how antibiotics have been discovered from natural resources and an explanation of why antibiotics exist in nature.
Reports and occasional test (20％) results are considered with final examination results (80%).

(Preparation of lecture) The students are required to read the coresponding part of the text in advance, make it clear what they don't understand, and be ready to ask during the lecture (2 hr.).
(Review of lecture) The stydents should check any contents, whichi could not be understood, after the lecture (1 hr.).
It is strongly suggested for students to study "Fundamental Microbiology", "Fundamentals of Organic Chemistry" and "Organic Chemistry 1 and 2" beforehand in classes. Studying beforehand is strongly suggested because you will learn many chemical reactions in this class.
