Course objectives
After the end of this course, the student should
* be oriented in basic properties, pathogenicity and diagnostic methods of medically important bacteria (Gram + rods and cocci, Gram -rods and cocci, anaerobic, spiral, acid-fast, mycoplasms, rickettsiae, chlamydiae and related organisms), viruses (RNA, DNA), prionic agents, fungi, parasites
* understrand basic principles of clinical microbiology, indications for microbiological examination, sampling, material transport, proper processing of a specimen, result releasing, result interpretation globally
* to know important pathogens and (eventually) common microflora, way of sampling, transport, material processing and result interpretation for each organ or organ systém
* to have a basic survey concerning other branches of microbiology than human medical microbiology
* to have a basic information concerning quality management in microbiology
* to understand principles of cooperation between the clinical workplace and the laboratory of clinical microbiology
