Course objectives:
(description of course unit’s educational outcomes divided into factual knowledge, practical
skills and attitudes/ generic competencies. Attitudes / generic competencies include social
skills: eg. the ability to teach others, communication skills, the ability to set priorities, to solve
problems, preparation for life-long learning, the ability to work with others as both the member
and the leader of a team as well as the other components of professionalism)
Knowledge:
W 1 knows genera and structure of viruses and bacteria, their biological features and and mechanism of
pathogenic activity.
W 2 knows and is able to describe physiological bacterial flora of a human
W 3 knows and understands the basis of virus and bacterial infection epidemiology as well as the tracks
of infection spreading in the human body
W 4 knows bacteria and virus genera being the most frequent etiological factors of infection
W 5 knows the basis of disinfection, sterilization and aseptic conduct
W 6 knows external and internal pathogenic factors
W 7 knows the structure of immunological system and understands its function
W 9 knows and understands the phenomenon of drug resistance formation
C.W13. knows and understands conception of health and disease, the mechanisms of disease,
development of the disease process at the cellular level, clinical symptoms, complications od
C.W14. knows and discusses inflammatory reaction and healing of wound
W 20 knows and understands the therapy rules of virus and bacterial infection
Skills:
U 1 is able to sample the proper genus of biological material to the microbiological examination
depending on the location and the process of infection
U 2 is able to interpret results of microbiological, serologic and antibiogram examination
U 3 is able to select and make the proper tests indicating the number of bacteria in the body fluids
U 7 is able to describe pathological changes caused by HIV infection and observed on people ill with
AIDS
After mastering the content of education a student:
- is able to select the genus of clinical material to the microbiological examination depending on the
location and the process of infection
- is able to interpret results of microbiological, serologic and antibiogram examination
- is able to select and make the proper tests indicating the number of bacteria causing tooth decay in
the oral cavity, that is the threat level of tooth decay progress
- is able to determine what medication and medicine should be applied in prevention and treatment of
tooth decay and inflammation of the paradontium tissue
Attitudes and transferrable (generic) competencies:
- demonstrates and proves understanding the importance of research made in microbiological
diagnostics
- demonstrates readiness to active participation in making signs during the practice
- demonstrates active attitude during classes
- applies acquired information of microbiology in consultation with the clinician
- demonstrates the ability to communicate with a patient
- prepares himself seriously and essentially to the planned classes
- applies achieved information of microbiology in the problem situation
- demonstrates and proves understanding the importance of research made for a patient's diagnostics

15. Assessment methods and criteria: The credit the course of oral microbiology is on the mark.
The final mark is the average of the marks obtained on the three colloquia and the mark
obtained from the unannounced quiz. The final examinations is in the form of the test. Each
question consist of five answers but only one answer is correct. The answers to the
questions, which were acknowledged as correct are marked by ‘X’. Any corrections,
cancellations or postscripts made after the answer has been once chosen will cause, that the
question is not rated. Each correct answer is counted as one point.
