Course objectives
Identification of the microscopic medically important fungi (moulds) occurring in our environment - microfungi on food and feed, on walls of flats, in air,. Attention is drawn on anamorphs connected with ascomycetous orders (genera Trichophyton, Microsporum, Epidermophyton, Penicillium, Aspergillus, Fusarium etc.). Methods of isolation and cultivation, evaluation of micromorphological and macromorphological features. Production of mycotoxins and influence on human health. Main objectives can be summarized as follows: understanding of specific methods for isolation and kultivation of moulds; determination of morphologic trait individual strain.
Syllabus
  • Current systematic arrangement of microscopic medically important fungi; methods of isolation, cultivation and determination of micromycetes, ascomycetous yeasts (candida), Aspergillus, Mucor, Fusarium; fungal infection – definitions and therapy; antifungal drugs; mycotoxins of microscopic fungi and their significance.
