Course objectives
The aim of the course is to get the students acquainted with the practical implementation of individual methods of medical microbiology and the safe acquisition of these methods.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students should be able to practically use following methods in medical microbiology:
microscopy (staining, work with microscoope)
culture (inoculation, use of different media)
identification of bacteria and yeasts
antibiotic susceptibility/resistance testing methods
animal experiment (only basically)
agglutination, agglutination on carriers, complementfixing test, neutralisation reaction, immunofluorescence, radioimmunoassay, ELISA, Western blotting

Assessment methods
For credit, it is necessary:
(1) to absolve all preactical sessions, but:
- two absences, either justified of approved by a teacher are possible; even so student has to demonstrate completing the missing topics
- more absences should be substituted
- not justified absences are not tolerated
(2) complete report of all practicals
(3) succesfully written credit test, eventually also other current tests; information about all tests will be given in advance.
