thanks so much Mr. Tracy, I'm a CLT student and  I'm doing my  clinical rotation for microbiology section at the lab. These videos clarify what/how/why of urine cultures!

[NeppyNeptune]

I'm no medical student, but I'm definitely experienced in having utis! It's very interesting to see what you guys do with our urine cultures and how you identify the specimen. Looking at how contamination works, I'm very motivated to make the midstream catch more sterile with my new understanding of this process.

Thank you Mr . Tracy you video is so helpful since it my first day in microbiology lab and it is the first time seeing a real pathogen organism growing not like at college with normal specimen

[safire]

In practice I have seen gram neg (most commonly proteus mirablis but also e. coli and k. pneumo) grow on CNA. But realizing that what you see on the TSA is also what you see on Mac can be challenging to learn. Many times when I was learning, and most of the interns I have dealt with tend to treat them as separate and want to work everything up. I have found that bacteria love to try to fool us anyway they can.

A moderate grth of Candida a pathogen in pus or consider it as a normal skin flora

[priyak]

Sir how will process tracheal aspirate by direct plating or 1:10and1:100 dilution method will you explain it

[fatimayusr]

thank you very much..
but if i was doing culture for sort throat and the bacteria was among normal flora, what should i write in my repoer and should i do sensitivity test for it?

[priyak]

Sir for an 8 months old child shows cephems resistant .is it any mistake in sensitivity reading

[priyak]

Sir How we can identify citrobacter just preliminary identification on macconkey and blood agar

[priyak]

Sir in blood agar sensitivity for streptococcus how will u read sensitive and resistant pattern i mean no grth around antibiotics is resistant please say sir

[priyak]

Then direct plating tracheal aspirate on media that is my doubt (about processing)

I have a question Patrick Tracey why you are not gonna go with it if it's clean catch specimen and work that one which in this case may be a catheter specimen as u said in the 7th sample, is it due to contamination will be present if it's a clean catch specimen right? please need answer

Nice video. If you had about 20 alpha gram positive cocci colonies that were pyr negative and also 10 coag neg staph colonies, how would this be worked up? The urinalysis results are normal.

[priyak]

Without biochemical test how will u sir u will identify particular organism from colony morphology will u explain it sir

[Gri-nl]

the ECHA is the leading organism in this case . I would test it and the others I would give as mixed flora.

[priyak]

Sir is candida sp pathogens in stool culture

[priyak]

Thank a lot for helping me thru this video
