1.1. Aims of the course
The Degree in Veterinary Medicine aims to train professionals in Veterinary Medicine (diagnosis, prognosis, treatment and prevention of diseases affecting domestic animals), Animal Production and Health (breeding and health of production animals, marketing of animal products for human consumption) and Hygiene, Safety and Food Technology (control of the food production chain, advice to food companies). The general objective of the subject of Microbiology and Immunology is to ensure that students acquire training in basic Microbiology and Immunology, which is necessary for understanding the other specific subjects of the Degree. The aims of this course are to:
- Distinguish the types of microorganisms involved in the processes referred to in the matter. Students should be able to distinguish bacteria viruses, fungi, as well as infectious proteins (prions); and within each category, their main types/strains (e.g., Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria).
- Know the elementary characteristics of each type of microorganism. Students must know the structure, elemental composition, metabolism, physiology, genetics, ecology, pathogenic power or virulence and way of life of each microorganism.
- Develop knowledge about Microbiology in its branches of Bacteriology, Virology and Mycology, both at a general and special level, with a marked interest in the pathology of domestic animals and its subsequent application to diagnostic techniques in infectious diseases as well as Food Microbiology and Environmental Microbiology.
- Understand and apply the basic safety rules for working with microorganisms. Students should be aware of the risks, precautions and measures to be taken when working with microorganisms, both in the laboratory and outside it (farms, industrial facilities, sampling, etc.).
- Perform basic manipulations of microorganisms in the laboratory, including fundamental tests of identification, culture and isolation. Students in the laboratory should be able to operate the optical microscope freely, perform staining, in vitro cultures, etc.
- Know the implications and consequences of the presence or absence of a microorganism in the environment or in the process in question. Students should be able to distinguish the effects produced by microorganisms: disease, degradation of substances, synthesis of substances (antibiotics, metabolites of interest), metabolic processes, etc.
- Assess the possibilities of preserving or altering the different populations of microorganisms in a system, depending on their effects. The aim is for students to know the possibilities of acting in favour (nutrients, cofactors, etc.) or against micro-organisms (antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals, physical and chemical means, etc.) and to be able to decide between alternatives.
- Acquisition of basic concepts, both theoretical and practical, that allow the student to know the components, mechanisms and fundamentals of the immune system of living beings, as well as the alterations coming from a disorder of this system.
- Know how to use the information sources of Microbiology and Immunology and critically judge the information they contain. Students should be able to look for information and value it, knowing the credibility of the sources as well as the authors.
1.2. Context and importance of this course in the degree
The subject is closely linked to the subjects: General and Propaedeutic Pathology I and II, General Pathology, Integration in ruminants, Integration in birds and rabbits, Integration in companion animals, Integration in aquatic and exotic animals, Integration in equids, Integration in pigs, and Zoonoses, Preventive Medicine and Health Policy of the Clinical Sciences and Animal Health Module; with the subjects of Food Technology and Hygiene, Food Inspection and Control of the Hygiene, Technology and Food Safety Module and with the optional subjects of Ecology and Environment, Wildlife and Beekeeping Production and Health. It is also closely linked to basic subjects such as Biology and Biochemistry, Genetics, Cytology and Histology and Physiology.
1.3. Recommendations to take this course
This subject, of common basic training, is of a fundamental and transversal nature for other degrees and degrees that will give access to a large number of university master's degrees related to Animal Health, Human Health, Food Safety, Industrial Processes related to micro-organisms and the Environment.
Microbiology, as well as its different branches (Bacteriology, Virology, Mycology and Prions), both at a general and special level, is important in the fields of Animal and Human Health. It is basic to the process of diagnosis of infectious diseases of domestic animals, for the mechanisms of alteration of food, food processing processes and environmental contamination. It also has a direct relationship with Human Health, in terms of the existence of communicable diseases (zoonoses), toxinfections and food poisoning.
Immunology is a broad branch of biology and biomedical sciences, with applications in numerous scientific disciplines.
Microbiological diagnosis encompasses all procedures and complementary techniques used to establish the aetiology responsible for an infectious disease, food poisoning or environmental contamination.
Due to the high theoretical load of this subject, a constant effort on the part of the student is recommended, participating actively in both theoretical and practical classes.
2.1. Competences
On successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Isolate and identify the microorganisms associated with the different pathological processes that affect animals as well as those that intervene in the deterioration of food and those related to the environment.
- Know and interpret the fundamentals of microbiological and immunological diagnostic methods.
- Organizational capacity, autonomous work planning and information management.
- Critical reasoning capacity (analysis, synthesis and evaluation).
- Ability to apply theoretical knowledge to situation analysis, problem solving and decision making in real contexts.
- Ability to communicate correctly and effectively, orally and in writing.
2.2. Learning goals
If students complete the course successfully, they should be able to
- Know, from the basic point of view, the microorganisms under study in the different branches of Microbiology, both those that affect Animal and Human Health and those that have an industrial, food, biotechnological or ecological application.
- It adequately defines and uses the scientific terminology used in Microbiology.
- Differentiate microbial diversity from the systematic, physiological and ecological points of view.
- Define mechanisms used by microorganisms in their metabolism to develop their activities.
- Interpret what mechanisms exchange genetic information between them and what this exchange of information brings to them.
- Know the characteristics of microbial growth and the alternatives for its control.
- Know the importance of the mechanisms of pathogenicity, virulence factors that microorganisms possess, since they are agents that produce diseases in animals and humans.
- Differentiate and assessing the most common sterilisation and hygienisation techniques.
- Acquire basic knowledge of the fundamentals of the immune system of living beings.
- Know the basic components of the Immune System.
- Know the mechanisms involved in immune responses, as well as the alterations resulting from a disorder of that system.
- Know the immune responses that develop specifically against different microorganisms.
- Know the specific surveillance systems of the immune system, such as antitumor, aging, transplant rejection.
- Plan microbiological analyses and immunological diagnostic techniques, propose methods to be used, acquire the ability to carry them out and interpret the results.
- Work as a team, synthesize available information on a subject, present and substantiate his opinion on the subject and present it publicly and orally.
2.3. Importance of learning goals
The Livestock, Agriculture, Fishing and Food sectors represent a very important part of the economy of a country, and offer employment to university graduates in the veterinary field. For this type of professionals, knowledge of Microbiology and Immunology is essential, given the importance of microbial processes in the health of animals, plants, fish and human food (Public Health).
On the other hand, the strengthening of generic or transversal competences of an instrumental, interpersonal and systemic type will contribute, together with the rest of the subjects, to the integral formation of future Veterinary Graduates.
3. Assessment (1st and 2nd call)
3.1. Assessment tasks (description of tasks, marking system and assessment criteria)
EVALUATION ACTIVITIES
The proposed activities will take place on the dates indicated in the examination schedule drawn up by the centre (global evaluation). Obtaining a score of 5 out of 10 in these tests will result in passing these contents.
Final written evaluation test consisting of multiple choice questions on the knowledge of General Microbiology, Immunology and Microbiological Diagnosis. Passing this test will accredit the achievement of learning outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9,10,11,12,13,14 and 15, and will be assessed following the criteria and requirement levels specified in section 7. The grade will be from 0 to 10 and this will represent 60% of the student's final grade in the subject. It will take place on the dates of examinations determined by the Centre. Guidance materials for the preparation of written tests will be available in the subject's ADD. In addition, and on a voluntary basis, part of this written test (corresponding to topics 1-27 of Microbiology and General Bacteriology; Special Bacteriology and Mycology) will be called on the dates assigned by the Centre (examination calendar).
Written test for the evaluation of laboratory practices
This test will consist of short questions and a case study. Passing this test will accredit the achievement of all the learning outcomes set out in this guide and will be assessed against the specified criteria and requirement levels. The grade will be from 0 to 10 and this grade will be 30% of the student's final grade in the subject.
For those students who have not attended any of the practical sessions, they will have to take an additional practical laboratory test coinciding with the celebration of the global test.
Group work It will consist of carrying out a work that integrates the theoretical and practical knowledge acquired during the course. The practice groups can choose between two options:
1. Carrying out a work to review the issues related to Applied Microbiology (Soil, Air, Water and Food) or with the identification of microorganisms as the basis for microbiological diagnosis, with serological diagnostic tests, etc.
2. Performing a microbiological research work in the laboratory.
Passing this test will prove the achievement of learning outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 and will be evaluated according to the criteria and specified levels of requirement. The grade will be from 0 to 10 and this grade will represent 10% of the student's final grade in the subject. Students who submit to a single global test on the dates determined by the center for examinations may only carry out modality 1 (review work) individually (after assignment of the subject by the responsible teacher), and must present it orally immediately after of the written evidence. The groups will consist of approximately 5 students. At the beginning of the course and in the program of the subject, the elaboration guidelines and the presentation format of the work will be marked.
The work will be exhibited and defended by each group in seminar-type sessions. The authors will explain and argue the points contained in the work and should discuss and discuss them with the rest of those present (teachers and students). The time available for the presentation and defend of the topic during the seminar sessions will be 15 to 20 minutes.
