The laboratory classes are organized as practical activities. Students will be working with infectious material, therefore
the following rules have to be observed: hands must be washed and / or disinfected after each class: outer coats must
be left in the cloakroom downstairs, protective gowns must be used in the laboratory classes room (brought to the first
laboratory class and stored at the Department of Medical Microbiology for the duration of the course).
