Course objectives
The courses BZMI021p and BZMI021c are connected. The "c" course represents practical demonstrations to the "p" lecture. That is why targets are written for both subjects together. At the end of this course student
* lists medically important microbes, diagnostic methods, decontamination methods and antimicrobial drugs explains use of antimicrobial drugs, lists basic parts of the immunity system and explains their function
* explains the difference between common microbial flora, transient findings, contamination and pathogens in different organ/organ systems (1):
* lists the most common pathogens causing infections of individual organs/organ systems (1)
* explains basic indications of microbiological examination, sampling and transportation of samples for each organ/system (1) infection
* interpretes simple results of microbiology tests on a basic level for infections of individual organs/organ systems (1)
(1) individual organs/organ systems for this purpose are namely:
* 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

Student also explains specific problems of microbial infections
* during pregnancy, during birth and in first days after birth
* of in-patients, especially immunocompromised (hospital infections) * in urgent situations (fulminant life threatening infections) * under special situations (earthquakes, flows, bioterrorism, war conflicts), including protection of helping persons
