Annotation -
Last update: Mgr. Kateřina Petříčková, Ph.D. (23.05.2019)
Provides basic information on general and specialised human medical microbiology, virology, mycology and parasitology. Describes important human pathogens, their characteristic properties, pathogenicity mechanisms of the diseases they induce, and basics of the antibiotic, antifungal, antiviral and antioparasitic therapy of the diseases. In practical hands-on learning provides important skills for bacteriological investigation of selected samples. The student will learn technics for clinical specimen collection, strategy of microbial identification and anti-microbial therapy.
Aim of the course
Last update: Mgr. Kateřina Petříčková, Ph.D. (23.05.2019)

The aims of the subject: to provide knowledge on general microbiology, teach students , how to behave in an infectious area, how to deal with infectious material, how to prevent spread of infection. Students should understand interactions of infectious agents and the host, pathogenetic and immune mechanisms in the disease. They obtain basic laboratory skills and get guidlines for taking proper samples.

Teaching methods
Last update: Mgr. Kateřina Petříčková, Ph.D. (23.05.2019)

The course consists of one week block of practical training (hands-on) focused on microscopy and culture of bacteria and fungi, staining techniques, desinfection and sterilizing techniques, antibiotic susceptibility tests(disc, MIC, MBC), sterility control techniques, basic defense immunity mechanisms, toxin detection, serological reactions, microscopic parasitology, and proper specimen collection and transport (teaching laboratories of the Dept. Microbiology and immunology, Studničkova 7, Ground Floor, Back Entrance).
Additional 2 seminars on Modern diagnostic techniques in medical microbiology and Strategies of antimicrobial therapy.
Lectures cover basic topics on general microbiology and first 4 topics on specialised medical microbiology.
Students are provided a selection of themes for their seminar thesis required for B 80372 Microbiology 2 credit

Entry requirements
Last update: Mgr. Kateřina Petříčková, Ph.D. (17.01.2019)

All students should have credit for B80005 Biology and Genetics 1 + Anatomy [B80598, B82239],

Organization of the Practicals:

  • The students are divided into groups of 12 based on the capacity of laboratories.
  • The list of students assigned to particular groups and dates will be available in the SIS as soon as the list of all registered students is ready - shortly before the beginning of the semester.
  • The practical classes will start in the 2nd week of the semester.
  • Switches between the lab groups are allowed only due to serious reasons - illness, hospitalization.


Students should bring their own signed white coat, a pair of lab shoes and a small pendant lock for the garderobe locker.

Requirements to the exam
Last update: Mgr. Kateřina Petříčková, Ph.D. (18.02.2022)

 

Credits will be awarded on the basis of a credit test, the practical week active attendance, protocols and announcement of topic chosen for seminar thesis.

 

Students who have attended 10 lectures by the end of the 14th week of the semester do not write the test and their credits will be signed by the practical week teacher.
