General microbiology
|

| This course is designed to provide you with basic knowledge of medical microbiology. It follows the general microbiology course you received last year giving basic knowledge on microorganisms and host-parasite relationships. You approach this year the main infectious diseases encountered in community. These will be addressed by anatomical site such as infections of the urogenital tract or respiratory tract because they are among the most commonly encountered.
This course will allow those who are destined to the pharmacy to best ensure their advisory role in prevention and treatment. For one who is destined to clinical biology, the course will provide the foundation reinforced during his training as a biologist. Finally for those who are destined for the industry or research, knowledge of medical microbiology provide a basis for the one who works in the sector of anti-infectives. For others, it will be a general microbiological knowledge. Course Description The course will focus on the epidemiology, clinical signs, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects. The anti-infective molecules will be detailed in connection with the resistance developed by microorganisms and major side effects. Indeed, the course provides a link between anti-infectives and the target organism to better understand the interactions and the development of potential resistance. NB. Infectious diseses will be addressed with the exception of viral infections that will be covered in the course of medical virology (Prof. N. Jacobs). Contents Diseases will be addressed by anatomical site. Be addressed: respiratory tract infections especially pneumonia of bacterial origin including tuberculosis; Urinary tract infections, as well as sexually transmitted diseases such as infections due to Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and syphilis: Skin infections with emphasis on infections caused by S. aureus, superficial fungal infection (Candida, dermatophytes) and ectoparasites (lice, fleas); infections transmitted by arthropods like Lyme disease and malaria (imported tropical disease). Finally, the main mechanisms of resistance to antibiotics, antifungal and antiparasitic will include: types of mechanisms, mode of acquisition, prevalence. Revision-Training Continuously at the beginning of each course you will be interviewed by a quiz on the material covered previously. This will allow you to maintain your knowledge. A review session is scheduled at the end of the course. |

|
General 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. | |||||
