Description
| O0015ST | Basics of Microbiology and Patology (3 cr) |
| Prerequisites | No prerequisites needed. |
| Objectives | The student has gained basic knowledge about microbes, their impact on human life, transmission modes and pathogenesis of infections. The student has knowledge about the natural defence system of the body and the ways how to increase the efficiency of it. The student has an understanding of the importance of microbiology for the health care field. The student has gained basic knowledge about pathology and changes in the body caused by diseases as well as the collection and proper handling of tissue specimens and cell samples. The student has an understanding of the impact of pathology laboratory services on the overall nursing care of patients. |
| Content | Groups of microbes. Structure of microbes; reproduction of microbes. Factors affecting the growth of microbes. Factors involved in the development and transmission of infections. The natural defence system of the body. The normal flora of humans. Development of specific immunity. Pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. Pathology research methods; pathogenesis; cell injury; cell death; death and investigation of the causes of death; inflammation; tissue recovery; blood vessel changes; blood circulation disorders; changes in the size of tissues and organs; tumours; immunologic diseases and hereditary diseases. |
| Recommended optional programme components | If necessary, the student advisor will recommend optional programme components for each student based on their individual study plan. |

The student names the main concepts of pathology, the causes of diseases and the changes in the body caused by disease. The student describes the pathological research methods. good (3-4) The student understands the importance of microbes for human health. The student identifies and understands the ways in which microbes are transmitted and the factors that contribute to infection. The student identifies and understands the body's own defense mechanisms and their importance. The students identifies and understands the key concepts of pathology, the causes of disease and the changes in the body caused by disease.
