Course content
|
The overall objectives of the Medical Microbiology course are to provide students with a foundation in microbiology including the nomenclature, structure, physiology, mechanisms of pathogenesis, and clinical manifestations associated with medically-important pathogenic microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses) which the nurse will most frequently encounter in practical activity. The students should acquire understanding of how the basic principles of microbiology are integral to effective diagnosis, antimicrobial treatment and specific prevention of infectious disease. Understanding of medical microbiology by own inference is preferred to plain accumulation of knowledge which in the course of time may get lost. Students have to be also acquainted with the existence of rare important infectious agents. The objective of the course is teach the student how the character of disease and its antimicrobial therapy relates to the biology of the agent.Students willhave to understand how and where nosocomial infections occur, how to prevent them and how they differ with community infections. Content: 1) General microbiologybecná (growth and reproduction. physiology, biofilm, classification, genetics, pathogenity). 2) Special bacteriology with respect to practical activity in the hospital, and normal bacterial flora.. 3) Microbiological diagnostics, identification of bacteria. 4) Antibiotics, principles of antimicrobial therapy, antibiotic resistance. 5) Virology general and special., 6) Fungi encountered as infectious agnets in central Europe. 7) Parasitic protozoa. 8) Clinical microbiology. 9) Imunity, antigens and antibodies .Antibodies and cellular immunity in disease and diagnostic practice. Ummunoprevebtion and immunotherapy. 10) The role of nurses in epidemiology of nosocolmial and community infections. Lectures: 1. Anatomy and biology of bacterial cell. The pathogenicity of bacteria. The collection of preparations. 2. Pyogenic cocci. Enteric bacteria. Anaerobic bacteria. 3. Chosen bacterial species and groups. Identification and typification of bacteria. Protozoa. 4. Antibiotics. The resistance to antibiotics. Troubleshooting bacterial species. The situation in the Czech Republic and in Europe. Fungi. 5. Clinical microbiology. Nosocomial infections. Immunity, antibodies. 6. Viruses. The structure of viruses, replication. The characteristics of viral infection. 7. Special virology. The methods of viral diagnostics. 8. Immunity, antibodies. Practices: 1. Microscope. Cultivation media and instruments. Inoculation. Staining. 2. Investigation of sensitivity to antibiotics. 3. Cultivation of personal biologic material.
