This course will introduce participants to concepts and techniques currently used in studies on the molecular basis of bacterial infection. Several themes will run throughout the week and these will provide a framework for bench experiments, demonstrations, supporting lectures and discussion groups. Core themes will include tissue-based assays, reporters, tissue culture assays, and microscopy (fluorescent and scanning/transmission electron microscopy).
