The aim of the course is to acquire the theoretical and practical knowledge regarding to microorganisms (bacteria, viruses and fungi). The aims of the course is also understanding the structure and biological function of immune system.
Basic knowledge of biology, chemistry and biochemistry
Lecture. Place of microorganisms in the world. The structure and functioning of the bacterial cell. The phototroph, chemolithotroph, chemoorganotroph bacteria. Metabolic processes of bacteria and mechanisms of their regulation. Bacteriophages, plasmids, transposons. Bacterial genetics - variation and heredity. The bacteria in the biosphere. The interaction of the bacteria. Viruses and their biological properties. Fungi and their biological properties. Microorganisms pathogenic to plants, animals and humans. Structure of the immune system. Antigens. Non-specific immunity. Specific immunity. Humoral immune response. Cellular immune response. Regulation of the immune response. The evolution of immunity.
Laboratory classes. Microscopic observations. The size and shapes of microorganisms. Simple staining, Gram staining. Sterilization. Microbiological media. Pure culture techniques. Numeration of bacteria. Diagnostic tests. Serological tests.
