Course objectives
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.
