  • Seminar: Selected topics concerning the diagnosis of infectious diseases (i.e. diagnostics of bacterial and viral infections, molecular diagnostics, resistance testing of bacteria and viruses, biomarkers as novel tools to detect infections, mass spectrometry in clinical microbiology, and application of next generation genome sequencing for infection diagnostics)
  • Practical course: Basic laboratory rules and instructions for handling infectious organisms and materials; Techniques of bacteriology: Culture, media, preparation of slides, staining techniques; Characterization and identification of microbes (bacteria, fungi, protozoa, helminiths) by macroscopic and microscopic growth characteristics and morphology; Biochemical characterization of bacteria; Diagnostic immunology/serology: agglutination, precipitation, immunofluorescence; Diagnosis by the novel technique-MALDI-TOF/MS; Analysis of antibiotic susceptibility

Qualifikationsziele/Kompetenzen:

  • Students are able to list the different concepts for the diagnosis of infectious diseases (pathogenic bacteria, fungi, virus and parasites).
  • In addition they will learn about prominent pathological entities of infectious diseases, on a macroscopic and histological level.
  • They are able to illustrate and discuss these concepts with the aid of appropriate examples.
  • They are able to assess the potential and the limitation of a given diagnostic concept and to propose alternative strategies.
  • They do understand and are able to explain the underlying principles of a given technique.
  • They are able to identify unknown pathogens from suspected infectious materials of respiratory, intestinal, urinary tract and blood infections by various diagnostic techniques.
  • They acquire competences in presenting and discussing scientific results.

Bemerkungen:

The final grade is calculated from weighted partial grades as follows: 20% seminar, 40% lecture (exam) and 40% practical course (protocol & oral examination).

The module „Diagnostical Methods in Microbiology and Pathology” is required for the participation in “Infection Biology 2”.

The total amount of time allocated to a written examination is usually between 60 and 180 minutes (Examination Regulations).
