MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY w WHAT IS MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY? w WHO STUDIES MEDICAL MICRO? w WHY DO WE STUDY IT? w WHERE DO WE STUDY IT? w WHAT KNOWLEDGE WILL A STUDENT GAIN TAKING THIS COURSE?

MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY w Medical Microbiology is the study of microorganisms: Bacteria Fungus Parasites Viruses Most can only be seen with the microscope!

MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY w Medical Microbiology studies are usually performed on human blood and body fluids. w Medical Laboratory Technicians and Medical Laboratory Technologists perform the studies. w Education level: 2 yr. AAS or 4 yr BS

MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY w Microorganisms can cause disease in humans. w Microbiologists determine the type of microorganism causing the disease and find a drug, usually an antibiotic, to inhibit the microorganism. w Microbiologists continue to study the microorganisms through research to determine new antibiotics.

MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY w Microorganisms are studied in clinical hospital laboratories, reference laboratories, and research facilities.

w All laboratories post signs regarding safety. MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY

w Safety hoods are used to avoid splashing and inhaling possible pathogens. MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY

w A monitored refrigeration unit is essential for accurate results in microbiology. MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY

w Reagents, such as those used in this strep screen, aid in diagnosis of disease. MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY

w A hospital microbiology laboratory MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY

w Blood cultures are incubated and monitored electronically for bacterial and fungus growth. MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY

w High tech instruments are used to aid in the identification of microorganisms. MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY

w Teamwork is essential in all types of laboratories, including the school laboratory. MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY

w What is growing on this agar plate? MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY

w At the end of this course, you will gain knowledge in the following: Normal flora of the human body Microbiological disease states related to the human body Media/Agar used to grow microorganisms Biochemical reactions of microorganisms Identification of microorganisms!
