Prerequisites for admission
No prior knowledge is required
Assessment methods and Criteria
The exam consists in a written test with open and multiple-choice questions on the topics covered by the program according to each disciplinary module.
Passing the test will result in a mark expressed in thirtieths as the result of the weighted average of the scores given for each module. No intermediate tests are planned.

Microbiology and clinical microbiology
Course syllabus
Microbiology
- General characteristics of bacteria (prokaryotic cell, bacterial pathogenicity, antibacterial drugs)
- General characteristics of animal viruses (structure and classification, replication cycle, viral pathogenic action)
- General characteristics of fungi (structure of the fungal cell, yeasts and filamentous fungi
- General characteristics of single- and multicellular parasites (protozoa and helminths)
- Microbiota (composition, main functions, role in health and disease)
- Microbiology of food and drinks (contamination of food, protechnological microorganisms or typical indicators)
- Foodborne infections (Salmonellosis, Shigellosis, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Campylobacter, Yersinia enterocolitica and Escherichia coli, Brucellosis, Listeriosis)
- Virus infections
- Bacterial intoxication (Botulism, staphylococcal poisoning)
- Intoxication by toxins produced by microscopic fungi (mycotoxicosis)
General and applied hygiene
- Epidemiology (health and health determinants, causes and risk factors, measures in epidemiology, indicators of the health status of the population, epidemiological methodology)
- Health prevention and promotion: principles and methods; prevention of non-communicable diseases (screening) and communicable diseases (notification and surveillance, isolation, diagnostic assessment, disinfection and sterilization, vaccines and vaccinations)
- Foodborne diseases: etiology and epidemiology; epidemiological surveillance systems (general and special); the study of food-borne outbreaks; the burden of food-borne diseases in Italy and in Europe; main food contaminants (biological, chemical, physical) and associated risks; food contamination routes (endogenous and exogenous); environmental hygiene and hygiene of personnel in the food sector; prevention and control of foodborne diseases
- Lifestyle and illness: food habits. Epidemiological aspects of malnutrition (hyponutrition and hypernutrition), overweight and obesity.
