Tematika

The course continues discussion of systematic bacteriology, where therapeutic and preventive options for specific bacterial pathogens are addressed in details. Students will acquire fundamental knowledge regarding viruses, fungi, and parasites that is essential for understanding antimicrobial therapy, vaccinations, sterilization and disinfection procedures. The curriculum covers in detail the infections caused by the most significant human pathogenic viruses, fungi, and parasites, and the corresponding therapeutic and prevention strategies. Among the challenges of modern healthcare, we pay distinguished attention to the prevention of healthcare-associated infections and spread of multi-resistant pathogens; consequently, we discuss the topics of infection control and prevention, antibiotic stewardship and responsible antibiotic use in detail. By gaining comprehensive knowledge of antimicrobial agents and vaccines, pharmacy students will be equipped to provide reliable patient information and engage in pharmaceutical research. Ultimately, this prepares them for an active role in the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases.

A félév elfogadásának feltételei

Students are encouraged to attend lectures, as they facilitate a better understanding of the curriculum.

Félévközi ellenőrzések

Instructors may verify attendance during lectures through unannounced short quizzes. Attendance points earned during the semester will be added to the exam score in the exam-period as follows:

+3 points: 100% participation in the verified sessions and submission of answers.

+2 points: 85–99% participation in the verified sessions and submission of answers.

+1 point: 75–84% participation in the verified sessions and submission of answers.

Earned attendance points are also valid for retake exams within the same semester. In the event of a course retake in a subsequent academic year (exam-only course), these bonus points cannot be carried over.

Vizsgakérdések

The questions are partly based on the knowledge acquired during the Microbiology 1 course. The written exam consists of 60 single choice questions with 4 possible answers. Final score consists of the exam score and the attendance points. The final score is graded according to a five-grade scale:
54-60 points (90-100%) - excellent (5);
48-53 points (80-89%) - good (4);
42-47 points (70-79%) - average (3);
36-41 points (60-69%) - pass (2);
0-35 points (0-59%) - fail (1).
