Control of infectious diseases
Course Description
The course is designed to introduce the microbiological side of infectious diseases among those most frequently encountered in human medicine or have a particular interest. This course will enable students to understand the epidemiology of the most common infectious diseases in order to strengthen their role in advising patients (particularly important for the pharmacy sector). The course provides the link between the antibiotic, antifungal and antiparasitic drugs and the target microorganism to better understand the interactions and the potential development of resistance.
NB pathologies will be addressed with the exception of viral infections that will be addressed in the course of medical virology (Prof. N. Jacobs).
Contents
Diseases will be addressed by anatomical site focusing on the pathogenesis of infection. Be addressed: respiratory tract infections especially pneumonia of bacterial origin or communicable diseases as tuberculosis; Urinary tract infections, as well as sexually transmitted diseases such as infections Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and agent of syphilis: Skin infections with emphasis on infections caused by S. aureus infections by dermatophytes and ectoparasites (lice, fleas); infections with arthropod-borne borreliosis and malaria (tropical disease).
Finally, the main mechanisms of resistance to antibiotics, antifungal and antiparasitic will include: types of mechanisms, mode of acquisition, detection methods.
Revision
A review session is scheduled at the end of the course. |

Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
|
| | Medical microbiology |
|
| Concepts of General Microbiology and Immunology |
|
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
|
| | Medical microbiology |
|
| The course will be presented in the form of lectures. Practical sessions are also organized. Tutorials are presented in the form of workshops that illustrate the lectures through demonstration of diagnostic tests, microscopical and macroscopical observations (bacterial and fungal cultures, observation of adult parasites), projection of videos. On the other hand, a video will be made available as a virtual tour of the medical microbiology laboratory. |
