Learning outcomes
Development of the knowledge about the properties of pathogenic representatives of microbe world, their interaction with the human organism, mechanisms of infectious diseases development, methods of their diagnosis, specific prevention and treatment.
The main tasks of studying the discipline "Microbiology, virology and immunology" are:
- To interpret the biological properties of pathogenic and non-pathogenic microorganisms, viruses and patterns of their interaction with macroorganism,
human population and the environment.
- To determine methods of microbiological and virological diagnostics, etiotropic therapy and specific prophylaxis of infectious diseases.
- To explain the structure of the immune system of the human body.
- To interpret the basic mechanisms of development an immune response in the human body.
- To determine the main types of pathological reaction of the immune system and the relationship with the emergence of the most common human diseases.
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
- Hold a basic knowledge in the basic natural sciences disciplines: medical biology, medical and biological physics, biological and bioorganic chemistry, human anatomy, histology, cytology and embryology, Latin language and medical terminology, history of medicine and integrates with these disciplines.
- Be able to use knowledge for the resolving of practical tasks; work with scientific and methodological literature.
- Possess elementary skills of system analysis.
- Hold a basic knowledge in the basic principles of general biological methods.
Course content
The lecture topics of the course reveal the problematic issues of the relevant sections of microbiology, virology and immunology. Students studying the morphology and structure of bacteria, conducting serological reactions, experiments on cell cultures, animals and chicken embryos, or on the basis of experiments recorded in movies, films submitted in computer programs and other educational technologies. Students are aimed to find solution of situational problems (laboratory diagnostics of infectious diseases, evaluation of immunity parameters, sanitary-microbiological assessment of the environment, etc.) with an experimental, clinical-diagnostic or sanitary-hygienic orientation
