SYSTEMATIC MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY
(objectives)
The Systematic Medical Microbiology course is intended to provide a solid background on the systematics, medical relevance, and diagnostic tools of main bacterial pathogens. The theory consists of ca. 20 lessons of 2 hours each, equivalent to 5 CFUs, and 1 CFU of practical activity in the laboratory, for a total of 6 CFUs.

(syllabus)
Overview of bacterial pathogenicity mechanisms General principles for the diagnosis of bacterial infectious diseases The concept of bacterial species and the taxonomy of medically relevant bacteria Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Pathogenic Bacillus species, Clostridium, Corynebacterium, Mycobacterium, Actinomyces, Nocardia, Corynebacterium, Listeria, Neisseria, Hemophilus, •Neisseria, Enterobacteriaceae, Vibrio, Campylobacter, Helicobacter, Yersinia, Bordetella, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Burkholderia and other Gram-negative GNF bacteria,•Legionella, Brucella, Francisella, Treponema, Borrelia, Leptospira, Bartonella, Rickettsia, Ehrlichia, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma. Immune prophylaxis and immunotherapy Antibiotics and chemotherapic agents Molecular biotechnology and its applications to clinical microbiology
Laboratory activities (1 CFU) are: 1) Aseptic procedures for treatment of pathological samples; 2) Bacterial isolation on solid media; 3) Phenotype-based identification of bacteria; 4) Molecular identification of bacteria; 5) Bacterial genotyping.
