The course focuses on discrete groups of pathogenic microorganisms, the most important members of each group and their influence on human health. Students will also learn about the principles of antimicrobials and about the defence of microorganisms against these compounds. The attention will be paid to modern trends in protecting people against pathogens. On selected cases the mechanisms and prinicples of pathogenic microorganisms actions will be presented. In this course, students will also get acquainted with modern clinical microbiological laboratory methods.

Students will be able to: Distinguish between the members of normal and pathogenic human microflora Characterize the most important pathogens causing bacterial, fungal, viral and parasitic diseases Evaluate the importance of selected microorganisms from the clinical microbiology point of view, together with their pathogenicity and pathogenesis of caused diseases Discuss the mechanisms of antimicrobial agents actions and microbial-caused diseases prevention.
