Title: KD01 Introduction to medical microbiology & lab notebook procedures
Course Objectives:
Cultivation of samples: growth conditions and equipment used
Identification of samples: biochemical assays & tests available
Evaluation of samples: microscopy- visualization and key characteristics of specimens
Basic Equipment:
Cleaning: Autoclave 125°C- uses heat, pressure, & steam to sterilize; autoclave will take
minutes to sterilize & hot dry air which will take hours; before
opening make sure it is depressurized and will have very hot air.
Growing (bacteria/pathogens) – Fixed incubator 37°C is airtight, shelving for petri dishes
- Shaker incubator 37°C shakes culture & rotates to aerate-
liquid nutrient broth
Visualizing: microscopy
Storing: refrigerator @ 4°C to stop the growth and helps preserve samples & keeps long term
Lab Safety
1. Never eat or drink in the lab: contamination risks
2. Use PPE (personal protection equipment): gloves- latex, nitrile (purple, blue,
green),thermal,
or cold gloves (liquid nitrogen): eyewear: lab coat- chemical spills
