- Course objectives
- The main objectives of the course are practical skills for profession in laboratory of clinical microbiology.
- Learning outcomes
- At the end of the course students should be able to understand pathogenicity and virulence of bacteria, elimination of microorganisms from body; to understand normal body microflora, etiology, diagnostics and basics of therapy of diseases of individual organ systems, including viral, fungal and parasitic agents; work with information on basics of rational antimicrobial therapy; to understand hospital infections and their causative agents.

- Teaching methods
- lecture + self-study with use of study support materials on IS MU
- Assessment methods
- Attendance at lectures is not checked, but is recommended.
The subject is finished by the exam that has three parts. A student that is not successful at any of the parts does not continue to other parts. The exception is a student coming to his/her last resit. Such student always absolves all three parts, and a co-examiner is present at the third part.
(1)Written admission test consists of 20 questions, mostly "single best answer" type, partially also filling in missing word or other type questions. Students having at least 14 correct answers are considered having successfully done this part. Students coming to a resit term and having the test successfully completed in one of previous attempts do not have to redo the test again.
(2) Practical examination means doing a task picked by a student, or given to him by a teacher. The student also may be requested to fill-in a protocol about the task. Students coming for a resit term do not have to absolve the practical part repeatedly if they have got value "A" or "B" at one of previous attempts.
(3) Theoretical part means that student picks one question for each of three groups of questions. The total number of questions is approximately 180. The student elaborates the questions in written form, signs them and gives them to the teacher. The teacher asks additional questions to them orally. After that, the student is evaluated.
Warning 1: At any part of the exam the student may be told to show his/her protocols from practical sessions. The quality of the protocols may be taken into account at the final evaluation.
Warning 2: Skipping the test and/or the practical part cannot be done in case of students coming again for their regular exam term in a repeatedly registered subject.
Note: Student that failed at part (1) and (2) and feel disadvantaged may appeal to the head-examiner during next 60 minutes. - Language of instruction
