Course Objectives: | This course aims to provide students a general introduction to the basic concepts in microbiology and the terminology used, the types of diagnostic methods including microscopy, culture and serology, the spectrum of pathogenic bacteria, viruses and fungi, important medical and dental infections in different tissues, the interaction of host response and pathogen in immunology, and antibiotics in the treatment of infections. Also aims to teach basic sterilization and disinfection methods for preventive purposes in clinical applications. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; When the student successfully completes this course they will; 1. Distinguish the terminology, microscope types, staining and culture methods used in microbiology. 2. Define the classification, morphology and pathogens of bacterial genera. 3. Explain the general characteristics, reproduction conditions, contents and localization in the body of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria associated with infections, as well as spirochetes and anaerobes. 4. Define the human microbiome and its importance for the host, especially the place of oral microbiota in dentistry applications. 5. Define virulence factors in the interaction of host response and pathogen in relation to the stages of infectious diseases. 6. Describe in detail the antibiotic groups, spectrum of action and the principles of use in infectious diseases, basic resistance mechanisms and important resistance phenotypes that limit treatment. 7. Define the classification, morphology and pathogens of viral agents. 8. List viruses associated with infections that share the same signs and symptoms. 9. Explain hepatitis viruses, their differences from each other, diagnosis methods, prognoses and preventive measures. 10. Define viral and clinical manifestations, risk groups, diagnostic algorithm and general approaches about HIV/AIDS. 11. Distinguish fungal and parasitic pathogens, classification and diagnostic methods, basic systemic and oral cavity mycoses. 12. Explain the pathogenesis of dental caries and the pathogens involved and the development of Infective Endocarditis in terms of treatment and prevention. 13. Explain respiratory system infections such as sinusitis, tonsillitis and pneumonia, related pathogens and complications. 14. Explain skin and soft tissue infections, related pathogens and complications. 15. Explain bone and joint infections, especially osteomyelitis, related pathogens and their complications. 16. Define the immune system, cells and tissues, innate and acquired immunity, Immune response and communication, mucosal immunity components and their roles in the oral cavity. 17. List sterilization and disinfection techniques, necessary devices and their use in clinical practice. |
