Medical Microbiology I

Credit will be awarded for fulfilling both:

1) participation in practical training (two absences allowed outside of the required topics - see below) and

2) obtaining a minimum score of 12/20 on the credit tests (to be written in weeks 6 and 13 at the start of the lecture):

Credit Test I (Week 6): General Bacteriology and Antimicrobials

Credit Test II (Week 13): Special Bacteriology (excluding topics covered in the Week 14 lecture)

The result of the test will be available online as soon as possible. In the event of absence or insufficient score, the student will be tested orally in the credit week by Dr. Hurych or doc. Melter.

Required topics - practical training "Microscopy in Bacteriology" and "Cultivation of bacteria and procedures leading to the identification of bacteria". These exercises cannot be substituted by self-study (see Dean's Provision No. 4/2022) and absence must be made up with examination by the teacher of the practical training (Dr. Hurych or doc. Melter). Credit cannot be awarded for failure to make up absences from these training.
