Study Notes

Pathology

Pathology is the study of the nature of diseases, including their causes, mechanisms, and consequences.

Human Microbe Project

The main focus of the Human Microbe Project is to understand the role of microbiota in human health and disease.

Microbiota

Normal microbiota, also known as the human microbiome, refers to the collection of microorganisms that live within and on the human body.

Infection and Disease

Infection refers to the presence of a pathogen, such as a bacterium, virus, or fungus, within the body.
Disease, on the other hand, refers to the abnormal functioning of the body, often as a result of an infection.

Pathogenesis

Pathogenesis refers to the process by which a disease develops, including the progression from infection to disease.
