Comprehensive Medical Microbiology Course

Comprehensive Medical Microbiology Course

A comprehensive course for all medical microbiology sub-sections including Bacteriology, Mycobacteriology, Mycology, Virology, and Parasitology.

In this course, you will understand how is the workflow inside the microbiology laboratory, step by step from receiving the sample to a selection of the culture media, striking, incubation, identification, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and detection of the multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO), Pandrug-resistant (PDR), Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus (VRE).

More the 50 different types of usual and unusual bacteria including E.coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Burkholderia cepacia, Elizabethkingia meningoseptica, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, and HACEK group, in addition to a wide range of other microorganisms. The importance of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines and the classification of the antibiotics.

Clinical manifestations of Tuberculosis (TB) and Hansen disease, and the screening methods of TB. The workflow in the mycobacteriology laboratory including the guidelines of sample collection, preparation, decontamination, acid-fast stain, and isolation of mycobacterium based on growth rate and pigment production (rapid non-chromogenic, slow non-photochromogenic, slow photochromogenic, and slow scotochromogenic).

Clinical and morphological classification of mycology, principles of macroscopic and microscopic examination of the fungi and molds.

Cell line (viral) culture, molecular detection, and classification of the viruses including Herpesviridae, Myxoviridae, Flaviviridae, and Hepatitis viruses.
