Obiettivi Formativi
The course aims at providing a complete overview of the major infections agents of medical interest, to understand the alterations that may cause infectious diseases.
Critically review the laboratory investigations and methods available in routine laboratories and new approaches, such as molecular biology techniques and MALDI-TOF, to diagnose infectious diesease through the recognition of pathogenic agent.
On successful completion of this module, the learner will be able to: Identify the laboratory approach for the evaluation of infectiuos disease. Identify the critical step in the laboratory investigations such as specimen sampling and transport. Identify the principles and evaluate the biochemical methodologies used for the isolation of specific microorganisms. Identify and appraise the hierarchical methods to be used in complex pipelines for microroganism identification. To evaluate the importance of the clinical presentation of the infectious disease leading to the use of the most appropriate laboratory method to diagnose the disease. Demonstrate the use of various laboratory instruments and equipment.
Applying knowledge and understanding (Skills and know how).
Be able to apply the methods to analyze the specimen used in microbiological laboratory as blood, urine, SCF in order to identify specific agents of pathology. Be able to employ the acquired notions to select specific list of exams to use for a complete diagnostic procedure and to select the appropriate technologies.
