Course content

a) Morphological differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, structural and physiological differences, organelles, production of medically important substances such as toxins, etc., microecosystem b) Collection of clinical and pathological material, its packaging, storage, accompanying documentation, transport and handover of the material c) Principles of microorganism diagnostics, primary cultivation, propagation techniques, isolation and creation of pure cultures, microscopic, biochemical, immunological and molecular typing of strains incl. experiences and "tricks" that are not described or taught anywhere d) Classification of microorganisms, nomenclature incl. sources and references, from which it is possible to draw even in professional works and publications. e) The most important genera and species of Gram + and Gram - aerobic and anaerobic bacteria encountered in veterinary and human medicine. Interesting cases and case studies, from practice in the veterinary laboratory. f) Epizootology and epidemiology, diseases caused by bacterial agents in individual species of animals and in humans (that is why the subject has the word comparative in the title). g) Antimicrobial substances, their distribution and use, antibiotic centers, antibiotic policy h) Prevention of bacteriosis, disinfection, sanitation plans i) Tasks of the veterinary service in the prevention and elimination of diseases, in the provision of safe raw materials, food and feed, tasks of state veterinary institutes and veterinary laboratories

Learning outcomes
|
To acquaint students with general microbiological information regarding pathogenic, opportunistically pathogenic and apathogenic microorganisms in the animal population. Furthermore, to compare bacteriological findings in animals with the human microbiome, to describe the occurrence of various types of microorganisms in various species of animals and in humans, to relate the findings of important bacteria to animal and human diseases, to introduce students to the issues of epidemiology and epizootology. The aim of the subject would also be to remove the unreasonable fear of microorganisms that is implanted in the public daily through the media.
1) Experience the morphological differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells 2) To gain a holistic understanding of the microbial world and its connection with the macro world, to know the connections and relationships between the micro and macro world 3) Become familiar with the diagnosis and confirmation of microorganisms 4) Get an overview of the most frequent microorganisms in the animal and human environment 5) Learn and experience the meanings of the terms epidemiology and epizootology, epidemiological (epizootological) chain, disease transmission, infectious and non-infectious diseases of bacterial origin 6) Get an overview of the treatment and prevention options for bacteriosis 7) Get a real insight into the tasks and activities of veterinary diagnostics and prevention
