In the beginning, it was located at Rastislavova No. 43, in the premises of the Central Laboratory at the Regional Institute of National Health and in the premises of the Infectious Diseases Department. In 1961, the academic workplace was separated from the healthcare section of the department, and the department moved to the building of the Faculty of Medicine of UPJ\u0160 on \u0160rob\u00e1rova Street. Subsequently, it relocated to the Faculty of Medicine building at Trieda SNP, where it is housed to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_1, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_1[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_1\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_1 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_1[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_1\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_1 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_1[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_1\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_1 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_1\">Since its foundation, the Institute has provided teaching of medical microbiology for students of General Medicine and Dental Medicine, and since the 1991\/1992 academic year, also teaching of the fundamentals of immunology. In the subsequent period, teaching was expanded to include Bachelor&#8217;s non-medical degree programs \u2014 Laboratory Examination Methods, Nursing, Public Health, and Physiotherapy \u2014 as well as tuition for international students in the English language. In recent years, teaching in Master&#8217;s non-medical degree programs was added \u2014 Public Health and Bioanalytical Diagnostics in Healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_2, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_2[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_2\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_2 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_2[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_2\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_2 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_2[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_2\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_2 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_2\">The first Head of the Institute was Prof. MUDr. Ladislav Dubay, CSc. He contributed significantly to the development of the Institute in medical education and scientific research activities, and established a stable personnel foundation for the department. Scientific research during this period was primarily focused on the study of scleroma and ozena. Under the guidance of Prof. Dubay, Assoc. Prof. MUDr. Hana Puzov\u00e1, CSc., prepared her candidate (CSc.) and habilitation theses; she assumed the position of Head of the Institute after his death in 1978. The main focus of scientific research at the then Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, UPJ\u0160 became opportunistic bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae (Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae, Proteus mirabilis, and Klebsiella pneumoniae) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The research focused on the phenotypic demonstration of virulence factors, resistance to antibacterial agents, and interaction with mechanisms of non-specific immunity. On these topics, candidate dissertation theses were defended by MUDr. Jana Hlau\u010dov\u00e1, MVDr. Anna Kereste\u0161ov\u00e1, Ing. Viera Janigov\u00e1, RNDr. Marta Kme\u0165ov\u00e1, and MUDr. Leonard Siegfried. The latter two also devoted their habilitation theses to the studied issues, expanded to include the detection of extrachromosomal DNA.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_3, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_3[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_3\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_3 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_3[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_3\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_3 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_3[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_3\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_3 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading60348_18e8d1-8d_3\">In 1995, Assoc. Prof. Puzov\u00e1 was succeeded as Head of the Institute by Dr. h. c. Prof. MUDr. Leonard Siegfried, CSc., who led the institute until 2026. Under his leadership, the institute profiled itself as a top-tier workplace in molecular diagnostics, specifically in the detection of virulence and resistance genes in Escherichia coli and other Gram-negative enteric bacilli, molecular typing and resistance detection of Clostridioides difficile, staphylococci, enterococci, and the detection of selected viruses (SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus) within research projects. Doctoral dissertations on these subjects were written by MUDr. Adriana Lipt\u00e1kov\u00e1, RNDr. Eva Biro\u0161ov\u00e1, RNDr. Zuzana Na\u010fov\u00e1, RNDr. Katar\u00edna \u010curov\u00e1, MVDr. Vladim\u00edr Hrabovsk\u00fd, MUDr. J\u00e1n Kore\u0148, Mgr.
