Course objectives
The aim of the course is to introduce students to the basics of microbiology and the importance of microorganisms in cosmetology. The subject will cover topics of general microbiology and topics related to important pathogens and antimicrobial substances. In the practical exercises, the aim will be to acquaint students with the basic methods of isolation and identification of microorganisms, together with techniques for determining their sensitivity to antimicrobial substances.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student will be able to:
- understand the basic terms of microbiology
- distinguish individual types of microorganisms
- describe basic pathogens and their importance in cosmetology
- describe the defense mechanisms of the human body and the basics of antimicrobial therapy
- independently carry out basic microbiological methods related to the isolation and identification of microorganisms and testing their sensitivity to antimicrobial substances
