Annotation -
In the course, students will learn about the different groups of pathogens, their most important representatives and the diseases caused by them. They will also learn the principles of prevention (vaccination) and treatment (antibiotics, antifungals, antiparasitics and antivirals) of infectious diseases. Attention will also be paid to the development of resistance. In selected cases, the basic principles and mechanisms of the life cycle of microorganisms will be described. Students will also be introduced to clinical microbiology laboratory methods.
