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 have basic survey in medically important microbes, diagnostic methods, decontamination methods, use of antimicrobial drugs, and also basic knowledge of the immunity system, its composition and its function
* 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)
