Tick-Borne Diseases - Knowledge of High School Students
Vlček, Karel ; Pavlasová, Lenka (advisor) ; Ehler, Edvard (referee)
Tick-borne diseases are caused by a group of pathogenic microorganisms which are transmitted between animal and human population by vector which is most frequently tick. Evaluation of danger and perils of these diseases is important due to prevention and monitoring of current situation development. The most common tick-borne diseases in the Czech Republic are borreliosis, tick-borne encephalitis and ehrlichiosis. Rarely can we encounter bartonellosis, babesiosis, rickettsiosis and tularemia. All these diseases can have serious consequences and in critical cases they can result in death of the infected person. One of the basic and the most important of preventive measures which lower the risk of the infection by any tick-borne disease is prevention of tick encounter and eventually vaccination. Due to continual global warming we can expect that in near future ticks will spread even to locations which have been so far not suitable for their development. We can expect that we will even more frequently encounter tick-borne diseases - including diseases which were formerly not found in our territory or were very rare. As a part of health education it will be needed more to get known basic information of tick-borne diseases and their prevention. Different educational centres are an ideal place for...

Introduction of microbiological diagnostic agents of invasive infections - Bartonella henselae and Bartonella quintana
Nováková, Marie ; Melter, Oto (advisor) ; Chrenková, Vanda (referee)
Bartonellae are agents of infections with varied clinical symptomalogy, including serious, such as endocarditis. Direct detection of Bartonella so far in the Czech Republic and therefore does not need to address this issue. Proper diagnosis of these infections is a prerequisite for targeted antibiotic therapy for patients. The genus Bartonella today are more than 20 kinds of bacteria. They are small Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria that cause the new emerging infections such as cat scratch disease (CSD), showing the typical regional lymphadenitis, as well as bacillary angiomatosis (BA), whose typical symptoms are skin and subcutaneous nodules (nodules). They also cause a disease called trench fever or South American bartonelosis. In the experimental part of the work was performed genotypic and phenotypic methods for the diagnosis of these bacteria, specifically on two types of Bartonella, Bartonella henselae and Bartonella quintana . The results show that by suitable methods to diagnose Bartonella are amplification genus- specific genes ribC and ftsZ, further embodiment of a method pulsed electrophoresis (PFGE) as typing method and the determination of susceptibility to antibiotics, the most appropriate testing showed E-test. This work was carried out optimization of genotypic and phenotypic...
