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.
Aim of the course -
Last update: Ulbrich Pavel doc. Ing. Ph.D. (01.08.2013)

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.
