Prerequisites
Students are supposed to have considerable knowledge of biology, mostly human biology.
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
Students are supposed to understand basicaly the main topics of clinical microbiology and immunology, especially the practical knowledge and practical skills concerning sampling of specimens and all other skills connected with the work of a paramedic.
Learning outcomes
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

Literature
    required literature
  • Studentům je k dispozici elektronická učebnice + elektronické studijní materiály v Informačním systému Masarykovy univerzity - Students have electronic textbook and electronic materials in the Information system of Masaryk University
Teaching methods
Practical session with use of education materials (pictures of apparates, equipment and organisms, also non-infection laboratory material etc.)
Assessment methods
Participation in education: it is possible to have one absence without official excuse + two more officialy excused through the Information system (in case of three-hour blocks of midwives ONE more only). In case of more justified absences (long durating disease etc.) the teacher will set a form of substitution. One condition for credits is also having filled in all check-up questions. The subject is closely related with BZMI021p. Here the examination is oral. Student takes one pair of 25 pairs of questions (= total 50 questions).
Language of instruction
Czech
