Prerequisites
aVLLM0421c Med.Microbiol. I - prac. && aVLBC0422p Biochemistry II - lecture
Students are supposed to understand topics of first term (subject VLLM0421p).
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.
fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
Course objectives
The aim of the subject is to acquaint students with the basics of diagnostic and therapeutic approach in the most typical microbial diseases. This basic knowledge will then be broadened in clinical subjects (especially Infectology).
Those interested in deeper knowledge in antibiotic problematic and clinical microbiology may later register to the subject VSAT081 (Basics of antimicrobial therapy)
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course student
* defines microbial findings in different localisations
* defines the difference between common microbial flora, temporary findings, contaminants and pathogens in various localisations
* records infections that are rare and the rather common ones
* defines basics of diagnostic and therapeutic approach in the most typical microbial disease; here, basis is only supposed, more enlargement is supposed in other subjects, namely Infectology

Namely student defines normal flora (if it does exist)/transitory findings/contaminants/pathogens in
* individual parts of upper and lower respiratory ways, lungs and middle ear
* different parts of gastroitestinal tract, livers, bile bladder and pancreas
* individual parts of uropoetic system
* individual parts of reproductive system
* individual parts of central and peripherial neural system
* bloodstream, bones, muscles and different tissuess
* skin, eyes, extarnal ear

Student also describes specific problems of microbial infections
* during pregnancy and delivery and during first days after delivery
* in hospitalized, especially immunocompromised persons (healthcare associated infections)
Student also composes the basic facts in in
* problematics of biofilm detection (including testing of effectivity of antibiotics to biofilm)
* basic processi of clinical microbiology (indication, sampling, material transport, specimen processing, result releasing, result interpretation)

Assessment methods
Attendance at lectures is not checked, but is recommended.
The subject is finished by the exam that has three parts. A student that is not successful at any of the parts does not continue to other parts. The exception is a student coming to his/her last resit. Such student always absolves all three parts, and a co-examiner is present at the third part.
(1) Written admission test consists of 20 questions, mostly "single best answer" type, partially also filling in missing word or other type questions. Students having at least 14 correct answers are considered having successfully done this part. Students coming to a resit term and having the test successfully completed in one of previous attempts do not have to redo the test again.
(2) Practical examination means doing a task picked by a student, or given to him by a teacher. Students coming for a resit term do not have to absolve the practical part repeatedly if they have got value "A" or "B" at one of previous attempts. Elaborating of a written protocol from the practical part may be requested.
(3) Theoretical part means that student picks one question for each of three groups of questions. The total number of questions is approximately 180. The student elaborates the questions in written form, signs them and gives them to the teacher. The teacher asks additional questions to them orally. After that, the student is evaluated.
Warning 1: At any part of the exam the student may be told to show his/her protocols from practical sessions. The quality of the protocols may be taken into account at the final evaluation.
Warning 2: Skipping the test and/or the practical part cannot be done in case of students coming again for their regular exam term in a repeatedly registered subject.
Note: Student that failed at part (1) and (2) and feel disadvantaged may appeal to the head-examiner during next 60 minutes.
