Learning outcomes
Students will get acquainted with the theoretical foundations of microbiology with an emphasis on human pathology: - the morphology of microorganisms, physiology of bacterial cultures and the complexity of bacterial metabolism - the basics of anti-infective immunity will be explained - antibiotics in terms of microbiology and the basics of prevention and prophylaxis of infectious diseases - individual fields of medical microbiology - bacteriology, virology, parasitology and mycology; - parts of microbiological examination will be explained, i.e. non-analytical, analytical and interpretive - in the practical part they will focus on the analytical part of the examination (practical laboratory training)
Upon completion, students will: - be able to describe the morphology of microorganisms, the physiology of bacterial cultures and the complexity of bacterial metabolism - recognize the basics of anti-infective immunity - define what antibiotics are in terms of microbiology and the basics of prevention and prophylaxis of infectious diseases - orientate themsleves in individual fields of medical microbiology - gain a practical overview of examination laboratory microbiological methods - link infectious diseases and their possible causes within human organ systems - determine clinically and microbiologically valid samples, indications for their collection and correct collection, processing in the laboratory - expected results
