Course content
The role of a clinical microbiologist. Interpreting results of direct detection of bacteria from naturally colonized and primarily sterile parts of the human body. Interpreting results of indirect detection of bacteria. Interpretation of results of direct detection of yeasts and filamentous fungi from naturally colonized and primarily sterile areas. Interpretation of results of direct and indirect detection of viral agents. Interpretation of results of parasitological analyses. Interpretation of results of tests of susceptibility to antimicrobial agents (antibiotics, antifungals).

Lecture, Dialogic Lecture (Discussion, Dialog, Brainstorming), Demonstration, Projection (static, dynamic)
Learning outcomes
Students get acquainted with the role of a clinical microbiologist and interpretation of results of both direct and indirect detection of microorganisms from both naturally colonized and primarily sterile parts of the human body. This includes interpretation of results from all areas of microbiology, including susceptibility to antimicrobial agents.
The students will be able to assess microbiological findings and suggest additional microbiological analyses.
Prerequisites
A passed examination in Microbiology 2.
MIK/VCA12

Assessment methods and criteria
Student performance, Dialog, Systematic Observation of Student

The students have to show the ability to interpret specific microbiological findings, or to plan additional additional microbiological analyses. The students have to attend all the seminars.
