What are Aseptic Techniques in Microbiology? Aseptic techniques are important protocols used in microbiology. They are fundamental in preventing contamination from unwanted microorganisms like bacteria and viruses. The techniques create a sterile environment, and minimize the exposure of sensitive cultures and...

The act of handwashingis an example of degerming, in which microbial numbers are significantly reduced by gently scrubbing living tissue, most commonly skin, with a mild chemical (e.g., soap) to avoid the transmission of pathogenic microbes. What are 5 aseptic techniques? What is aseptic tech...
What is aseptic technique, and why is it so important in microbiology? What is the difference between a commensal bacterium and a bacterium that can sometimes cause disease but is found in a tolerant host? Which describes the benefit of using Bdellovibrio bacteria to control microbes? A) Bde...
Although it is relatively easy to culture fungi, a lot of care is required in such fields as medical mycology. This is due to the fact contamination can easily occur affecting the quality of results. General knowledge regarding aseptic techniques, media preparation, sterilization, and transfer ...
Finally, we examine how synergy between the clinical microbiology and antimicrobial stewardship programs is necessary to ensure that rapid tests, if implemented, impact the patients they are designed to support.Previous article in issue Next article in issue...
Pasteur made a number of notable discoveries in the field of microbiology, developing techniques which are still used today to reduce the risk of disease. In 1862, he performed early pasteurization tests, determined to render milk safe to drink, and the practice was adopted very quickly. Before...
