Students are supposed to have considerable knowledge of anatomy, histology, biology, biochemistry and physiology. - 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
- General Medicine (programme LF, M-GM)
- General Medicine (eng.) (programme LF, M-VL)
- Course objectives
- At the end of this course, students should be able to understand the main diagnostic methods in medical 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 - Syllabus
- S01 Safety in a laboratory, microbes and outer influences, decontamination methods
- S02 Technique of work with loop, wet mount. Gram staining, demonstration of more staining methods. Demonstration of pictures of various organisms and structures in Gram staining.
- S03 Bacterial culture, cultivation media
- S04 Metabolism of bacteria, identification according to biochemical activity, modern identification methods
- S05 Testing of bacterial susceptibility to antimicrobial drugs, detection of resistance factors
- S06 Molecular methods in microbiology
- S07 Introduction to serology, agglutination and precipitation, titres, dynamics of titres, complement-fixing test, neutralisation
- S08 Reactions with labeled components (IMF, RIA, ELISA, CLIA/CMIA) including immunoblotting and immunochromatographic reactions
- S09 Medical virology I (influenza, SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses)
- S10 Medical virology II (hepatitis, HIV, herpesviruses, measles, mumps and rubella)
- S11 Medical bacteriology I (easily culturable bacteria)
- S12 Medical bacteriology II (bacteria with difficult cultivation)
- S13 Medical parasitology (basics)
- S14 Medical mycology (basics)
- S15 No practical sessions (only exceptionally individual substitutions)

- not specified
- Book No 1 + lectures + all materials from practical sessions are basic for the examination. Other books are recommended.
- Teaching methods
- practical training in lab
self-study with the use of e-learning materials - Assessment methods
- Conditions for credits:
(1) absolving all practicals, with the following notes:
- no substitution is needed for one justified absence + one without official justification
- in case of more justified absences, some form of substitution (e. g. some homework) is needed
- not justified absences (except that one "sick day") are not allowed
(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 - Language of instruction
- English
