UF0226 course microbiological analysis of different types of samples

Microbiology, together with information and biotechnology technologies, are sectors that many analysts consider the main engine of technological change, with deep effects on economic and social and health development. It can and should contribute to addressing the great challenges facing humanity in the coming decades: food security, energy supply, climate change, health, etc. Thus, with this course the knowledge related to the realization of microbiological tests will be provided, informing of the results obtained.

- Relate the pathogenic bacteria of food with the type of toxin and the diseases they can produce. - Explain the chemical changes produced by microorganisms in food alterations, as well as the importance of the use of temperature and additives for conservation. - Make direct detections and determinations of pathogenic microorganisms. - Use food, pharmaceutical legislation and other microbiological standards, controlling the variation of the analytical results of the laboratory through the use of quality criteria. - Identify the microorganisms present in confined and open atmospheres through analytical techniques, using environmental legislation for the assessment of the results.

This analyst will exercise its activity in companies or laboratories from different sectors, where it is necessary to perform microbiological and biotechnological tests in areas such as environment, food, materials, R&D, etc.
