Summary:
Proposal of unfolding for the programmatic contents of the medical and paramedical discipline of short duration. Microbiology, basic cycle, into two disciplines; the first, paramedical Microbiology (technology), at the same basic cycle, taking bacteriology as a paradigmatic example with opportune mutatis mutandis of technical procedures (demonstrations to groups of students and students personal performances) as an expressed sufficient adequacy for medical education. And a second new discipline of rather long duration, initiation to Infectology, clinical cycle. This discipline (concepts, definitions, glossary of instrumental terminology on practical facts) should show an interdisciplinary vertical integration to disciplines of clinical cycle, particularly Infectious Diseases stricto sensu (Clinical Practice), and to their Epidemiology (Social Preventive Medicine).
