Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: The aim of the course is to give information students about important microorganism medical and industrial fields and to be understand importance of microbiology in pharmaceutical field.
Course Content: The course includes key topics within the field of pharmaceutical microbiology. The curriculum entails the detailed information of medically important microorganisms (, the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases, vaccine development, antibiotic resistance development as well as microbiological quality control in drug production.. The course also includes informations about GMP, GLP applications and risk assessments.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) will explain a broad knowledge of medically and pharmaceutically relevant microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites), and their properties, structure, taxonomy, growth, and genetics, transmission of genetic material and antimicrobial resistance development
2) will have knowledge of the various methods within microbiological quality control of pharmaceutical products as well as the raw materials, structure, composition, manufacture and key microbiological aspects related to the production of various biological drugs
3) can explain the principles of antimicrobial chemotherapy at the cellular and molecular level, including mechanisms of action, drug selection, drug interactions, side effects, misuse of drugs, antimicrobial resistance development and antibiotics in the environment
4) will have broad knowledge sterilization and disinfection techniques
5) will learn usage of microorganisms in basic industrial fields
6) will have knowledge of application of GMP, GLP and risk assestment and preventing contamination of nonsteril drugs.
