MICROBIOLOGY SECTION The microbiology section aims at studying yu ailments and diseases from the isolation of suspected causative organisms. The processes involved in the isolation of these organisms include; culturing‚ staining‚ microscopy and sensitivity tests. Samples collected for examination include; stool‚ blood‚ sputum‚ urine‚ vaginal swab‚ wound swab and wound biopsy. Bacterial Culturing and sensitivity Cultures are carried out to isolate suspected organisms from a sample. There are different

biochemical tests and characteristics. This is important in the medical field because identification of unknown bacteria can help treat a patient by knowing the contributing source of a disease. Also‚ knowledge of different bacteria helped others make antibiotics that are used today. Bacillus cereus‚ a commonly occurring pathogen which can survive in remarkably hostile conditions‚ is typically found in soil. B. cereus has been recognized as an agent of food poisoning since 1955. The natural environmental

A medical microbiology lab performs testing on human samples collected from different body sites. The tests are used to detect and identify any microorganisms capable of causing disease. Knowing of unknown microorganism is important on how this microorganism works and how it is structured‚ means knowing how it can affect humans. The purpose of this study was to identify an unknown bacterium by applying all methods that were previously conducted and learned in the medical microbiology laboratory

Microbiology and Infection Control Prevention and treatment of catheter related blood stream infection in central lines. Introduction This extended entry will discuss in detail the prevention and treatment of catheter related blood stream infections (CRBSI’s) in central venous catheters (CVC). I have chosen this subject as I recently looked after a patient who had a CVC line inserted and went on to develop a CRBSI‚ I therefore wanted to improve my knowledge further on strategies that reduce the risk

respiratory and urinary tract infection. These medicines include ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin. Fluoroquinolones may cause sudden serious‚ and potentially permanent nerve damage called peripheral neuropathy (Miller‚ 2013). Macrolides are bacteriostatic antibiotics with a broad spectrum of activity against many gram-positive bacteria (Miller‚ 2013). Examples are erythromycin and azithromycin‚ which are used to fight against streptococci and staphylococci. Differences between Viral and Bacterial Infections
