This module provides an introduction to both the diversity of pathogenic microbes that infect human and plants, and the features of such organisms that enable them to cause disease and resist host defense mechanisms. The major focus is on these interactions at the molecular level. The module takes a thematic approach, addressing the topic from the perspectives of both the pathogen and the microbiologist. Exemplar groups of pathogens are covered in more detail by means of case studies.
