Prerequisites

Students are supposed to have considerable knowledge of biology, mostly human biology.

Course Enrolment Limitations

The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.

fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with

• General Nurse (programme LF, B-OS)

Course objectives

The courses BSKM021p and BSKM021c are connected. The "c" course represents practical demonstrations to the "p" lecture. At the end of this course, student will be able
* to understand the difference between common microbial flora, transient findings, contamination and pathogens in different localisations
* to know the most common pathogens causing infictions of various organs/systems
* to understand basic indications of microbiological examination, sampling and transportation of samples for each organ/system infection
* to be able to interprete basically the findings

Namely, studets shlould know this for
* different parts of upper and lower respiratory ways, lungs and middle ear
* different parts of gastrointestinal tract
* different parts of urinary tract
* different parts of genital system
* different parts of central and peripherial nervous system
* bloodstream, bones, muscles and various tissues
* skin, eyes, external ear

They should also know specific problems of microbial infections
* during pregnancy, during birth and in first days after bith
* of in-patients, especially immunocompromised (hospital infections)

Literature

• Studentům je k dispozici elektronická učebnice + powerpointové prezentace ve Studijních materiálech. - Students have electronic textbook and powerpoint slideshows in study materials

Assessment methods

It is strictly necessary to attend the education. Unjustified absences may be reason for not giving a credit. As the lecture and the practical are tightly connected, it is not possible to absolve e. g. practical only. The education is finished by a partial examination. The examination is oral. Student takes one pair of 25 pairs of questions (= total 50 questions).
