The third semester (2nd year) is devoted to teaching bacteriology. In the field of general bacteriology, students will learn the preparation of bacteriological preparations, techniques of culturing bacteria and their identification by biochemistry and molecular bacteriology procedures in practical exercises. They also diagnose important groups of bacteria significant in terms of veterinary medicine. The subject of the study is mainly the properties of microorganisms (structure, growth, reproduction, genetics) important in terms of their ecology, pathogenicity, virulence and etiology. An integral part of the course is knowledge of the taxonomy and classification of veterinary important microorganisms, including the study of methods of their detection and typing.
1) theoretical knowledge 1. The student is able to describe and explain the etiology and pathogenesis of important bacterial infections. 2. The student knows the principles of basic diagnostic methods. 2) practical skills 1. The student is able to take samples for bacteriological examination and perform this examination leading to the identification of the bacterial species, including its possible typing. 2. The student is able to set up an examination to determine the sensitivity of the bacterial strain to antibiotics by the disk method or by determining the MIC value. 3) competences 1. The student is able to identify unknown bacterial species present in a clinical sample. 2. The student is able to determine the sensitivity of the bacterial strain to antibiotics.
