Fornire agli studenti conoscenze e competenze necessarie per effettuare una diagnosi differenziale delle infezioni dell'apparato locomotore, effettuare prelievi di campioni biologici e richieste di laboratorio appropriate ed interpretare i relativi risultati di laboratorio. 

I microrganismi e patogenesi associata alle infezioni ossee, articolari, dei tessuti molli, muscolari e delle ferite chirurgiche. Formazione di biofilm.  Diagnosi microbiologica ed interpretazione dei risultati di laboratorio. Prevenzione delle infezioni.

Pathogens associated with bone, joint, muscle, soft tissue and surgical wound infections. Microrganisms associated with haematogenous spread, direct extension of contiguous local infections, surgical and/or implant associated infections. Biofilm formation and infections associated with joint prosthesis and implants. Multi-drug resistant microrganisms associated with soft tissue and musculoskeletal infections.   Laboratory investigations for the diagnosis of musculoskeletal infections: isolation of the microrganisms from tissue and/or blood cultures, antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Interpretation of microbiology laboratory results. Strategies for the prevention of infections.

Basic knowledge of microbiology, pathology and immunology.

Sessioni interattive di diattica non frontale e discussione di casi clinici, includendo la diagnosi differenziale, gli esami di laboratorio e l'interpretazione dei risultati.

Nel periodo di emergenza Covid-19 le sedute interattive verranno svolte da remoto con eventi in videoconferenza sincrona.
