Winter semester

Seminars, 3 hrs/week

 

1. Introduction, history of clinical microbiology, evolution of microbes, general microbiology (viruses, bacteria, parasites, mechanism of parasitism and interaction between pathogen and host, pathogenicity, virulence – definitions, basic principles of immunity)

2. Phases of diagnostic process (pre-analytical phase - indication of laboratory examination, collection of clinical specimen and its transport to the laboratory, analytical phase, interpretation – post-analytical phase, laboratory handbook, request form, direct/indirect detection of pathogens)

3.  Microscopy diagnostic methods (Gram stain, Ziehl-Neelsen stain, other staining methods, microscopy in bacteriology, mycology and parasitology, interpretation and evaluation)

4. Cultivation diagnostic methods (culture media, growth characteristics, identification of microbes, cultivation of viruses, special cultivation techniques)

5. Immunological and molecular genetic methods (principles of immunology methods, categories of antibodies, main laboratory assays, polymerase chain reaction - principles and options, sequencing, other methods)

6. Antibiotic therapy (determination of susceptibility to antibiotics, types of antibiotics, resistance to antibiotics, antibiotic stewardship)

7. Review of clinically important Gram-positive cocci (characteristics, factors responsible for virulence, diseases, diagnostics, epidemiology, antibiotic therapy; Streptococcus spp., Enterococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp., etc.)

8.  Review of clinically important Gram-positive rods and anaerobes (characteristics, factors responsible for virulence, diseases, diagnostics, epidemiology, antibiotic therapy Bacillus spp., Corynebacterium spp., Clostridium ssp.
