The health risks associated with the \kur{Listeria genus}
KARBANOVÁ, Aneta
This bachelor thesis is concerned with the health risks associated with the genus Listeria, especially with the species Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria ivanovii inducing listeriosis. As for humans, listeriosis occurs rather sporadically, nevertheless, it can cause outbreaks, listeriosis can also become a hospital infection. Listeriosis is dangerous primarily for pregnant women where it can cause abortions and for individuals with weakened immune systems where it may even cause encephalitis and meningitis. Currently a growing prevalence of bacteria resistant to antimicrobials is observed, including bacteria Listeria monocytogenes which represents a serious problem. There is no listeriosis vaccination, the only prevention is a careful heat treatment of food and hygiene which minimize the risk of the infection.

Analysis of occurrences of selected zoonoses in South Bohemian region
SOUMAROVÁ, Michaela
This diploma thesis is focused on the evaluation of six selected zoonoses with the occurrence in South Bohemia (campylobacteriosis, salmonellosis, listeriosis, tick-borne meningoencephalitis, Lyme borreliosis, tularemia) between the years 2003-2013. Campylobacteriosis and salmonellosis were evaluated the most common zoonoses in the South Bohemian Region during the monitored period. Their common feature is the alimentary transmission. Between 2003 to 2008 salmonellosis recorded the highest number of reported cases, on the contrary, campylobacteriosis has reported the highest number of occurrences since 2008. District of Czech Budweis showed the highest incidence of both zoonoses during the monitored period (4,139 cases of salmonellosis and 4,924 cases of campylobacteriosis). Another but not less important zoonotic is tick-borne meningoencephalitis, which incidence had the highest number in South Bohemian Region of all the regions of Czech Republic. The second part of the thesis is based on questionnaire studies focused on awareness of zoonoses and the issue of resistance and overuse of antibiotics. In total 479 questionnaires were evaluated. The survey findings may be equally described as interesting and positive, since the respondents had considerable awareness of the issue of antibiotic resistance.
