Learning outcomes
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 bith (this topic is accented for students of midwivery)
* of in-patients, especially immunocompromised (hospital infections)
