课程简介

**课程总结:药用真菌** 本课程将深入探讨具有药用重要性的真菌,特别关注那些引起人类疾病的真菌。课程将解析真菌致病的原因和机制,以及相应的实验室诊断方法和治疗手段。 课程内容将涵盖: * **真菌的普遍特征**:作为真核生物,真菌与人类等其他真核生物有何不同?真菌又与细菌有何区别? * **致病机理**:真菌的细胞壁和细胞膜的特性如何导致疾病? * **真菌与人体共存**:从环境中侵入的真菌如何在已经拥有正常细菌菌群的人体环境中生存并致病? * **常见真菌病**:包括菌血症(Fungemia)、过敏反应(Hypersensitivity)以及毒蘑菇中毒(Mycetismus)等。 尽管真菌在分解有机物、改善土壤结构和影响气候变化等方面发挥着重要作用,本课程将主要侧重于其对人类健康的直接影响。

In this course, you'll be introduced to Fungi but not on the general understanding that is well known. This course is centered on Fungi of medicinal importance i.e those that cause human diseases, why and how they do so and the laboratory diagnosis and treatment towards them. Although fungi have a reputation in breaking down organic matter and releasing nutrients such as Nitrogen, Carbon and Oxygen into the soil; they also improve the soil structure immensely and some are workers in climate change, this course does not take those functions into consideration. This course is mainly centered on those fungi that cause human diseases. So although, Fungi are saprophytic, how do their saprophytic nature imply in human diseases? And most especially, the human body already has its own normal flora of mainly bacteria which are good guys and serve as guides and defenders of their habitat. They have colonized places such as the gut, the stomach, the vagina and the surface of the skin. So then how would these incoming fungi from the environment be able to thrive in these bacteria-acquired zones?We shall take a look at the general characteristics of fungi, they being eukaryotes and what makes them so special and different from the other eukaryotes like humans. Also, what is that characterizing feature that differentiates fungi from bacteria?We shall also delve into the cell wall and the cell membrane of these fungi and what makes them cause diseases.Though ubiquitous, present everywhere: in the air, in waterbodies, on our skin, on our newly-ironed clothes, in our hairs etc, most diseases we see and hear of are etiologically from bacteria and viruses. Why not fungi taking their ubiquity(commonness) into consideration?What causes Fungemia and Hypersensitivity(allergy)?Mushroom poisoning by mycetismus and a whole lot.
