    The goal Acquiring knowledge and understanding the properties of basic groups of pathogenic microorganisms important for different food categories; emerging foodborne pathogens, rapid identification methods, contemporary food safety trends, biohazards. Acquiring skills to use classic and modern techniques for isolation and identification of pathogenic microorganisms.
    The outcome Knowledge and understanding of isolation of pathogenic microorganisms from different food types; possibility of their occurrence in the food production chain; analytical approach to identification of different pathogens and interpretation of results; observing modern trends in food production and occurrences of alimentary epidemics; develops creative thinking and presents acquired knowledge.
