Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.
fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
Course objectives
At the end of this course, the students are supposed to understand methods used in medical microbiology, using medical oral microbiology.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students should be able:
to prepare a wet mount, Gram-stained preparation, to observe the results in a microscope, to list other staining methods
to list culture media, their use, differences between them, to reinoculate a strain/specimen to a culture medium
to identify bacteria and yeasts by means of various methods of biochemical identification and other identification methods
to describe antibiotic susceptibility/resistance testing methods and to read their results
to describe animal experiment (only basically)
to read results of nucleic acid detection in microbiology (only basically)
to describe methods detecting antigens or antibodies, their use for antibody detection/antigen detection in specimen/antigen analysis of a strain; to read the results of these methods including titers, titer dynamics, detection of IgM/IgA/IgG; to interpret the results; to describe precipitation, agglutination, agglutination on carriers, complement-fixing test, neutralisation reaction, immunofluorescence, radioimmunoassay, ELISA, Western blotting
Besides that, students will be able to describe the basis of medical virology

Teaching methods
practical training in lab
self-study with use of e-learning materials
Assessment methods
Conditions for credits:
(1) absolving all practicals, with the following notes:
- two justified absences or absences approved by a teacher are allowed; students are obliged to show that they completed the knowledge (in laboratory reports and in their heads)
- more absences than two require a substitution
- not justified absences are not allowed (EXTRA PAYMENT IS REQUIRED FOR EVENTUAL SUBSTITUTION!!!)
(2) complete laboratory report (signature of a teacher is not necessary)
(3) successfully written final test (usually 10 multiple choice questions, each for one point; 7 points needed)
(4) all ROPOT questionnaires completed successfully; if they are always fulfilled in time (prior to particular lab session), the student has a bonus of one point for the final test
