Medical and Oral Microbiology

Data

Official data in SubjectManager for the following academic year: 2024-2025

Topic

During the course, the morphology, physiology of microbes, the techniques of disinfection and sterilization, and the basics of antimicrobial therapy will be discussed. The host-parasite interactions, the factors playing roles in the pathogenesis of infections, the defence mechanisms of the host and the modes of prevention will be detailed. The systematic microbiology part of the course will discuss the microbiological aspects of various infections caused by specific pathogens. Special emphasis will be put on the indigenous flora of the oral cavity, as well as microorganisms playing a role in the diseases of the oral cavity and the teeth.

The objective is to provide a solid microbiological basis to understand the pathogenesis and clinical aspects of oral and other diseases that influence oral medicine if they have infectious aetiology.
