Objectives of the Course

Dentistry students should learn about the normal flora and the host's defense mechanisms, and should be informed about the general characteristics of various bacteria, fungi and viruses that are medically important, the infections they cause, and the methods of diagnosis and prevention.

Course Content

General information about microorganisms (bacterial pathogenesis, bacterial genetics, bacterial metabolism, general characteristics of fungi and viruses), Normal flora Immune system, Vaccines and immunization, Serological tests Medically important bacteria (Gram positive cocci and bacilli, Gram negative cocci and bacilli, Anaerobic bacteria, Mycobacteria, Intracellular bacteria) Antimicrobial drugs and resistance mechanisms Medically important viruses (DNA viruses, RNA viruses, hepatitis viruses, HIV viruses) Medically important fungi (Yeast fungi, Mold fungi, Dermatophytes, Dimorphic fungi) Control of microorganisms with physical and chemical methods Laboratory safety Dental caries microbiology

Learning Outcomes

1.	Knows the fundamentals of microbiology, the varieties of microorganisms, and explains their relationships with diseases that can be seen both generally and in the oral cavity
2.	Knows the metabolism, nutrition, and reproduction conditions of medically important bacteria, and the diagnostic and preventive methods of infections they cause.
3.	Knows the general characteristics of medically important viruses and explains the diagnostic and preventive methods of viral infections.
4.	Knows the general characteristics of medically important fungi and explains the diagnostic and preventive methods of fungal infections.
5.	Explains microorganism-microorganism and microorganism-host relationships, and correlates the body's normal flora and its role in oral ecology
6.	Learns the characteristics and components of innate and acquired immunity, and correlates the principles of vaccines and prophylaxis with human immunity.
7.	Explains the role of microorganisms in dental plaque formation, the role of microorganisms in dental calculus formation, dental caries microbiology, and their roles in pathogenesis.
8.	Knows laboratory safety rules and complies with these rules in the working environment.
