Microbiology | Blood and Bone Marrow - Colony Morphologies and Identifications

We’re at the heart of the microbiology lab, focusing on one of the most critical benches: blood and bone marrow cultures.

From the tell-tale signs of Staphylococcus aureus to the subtle clues of fastidious organisms, we explore how a keen eye, a good sense of smell, and a deep understanding of microbiology turn a simple agar plate into a life-saving diagnostic tool
