Is there any Math in Microbiology?
Yes. The easiest part is the counting of colonies on the media when a special calibrated inoculating loop is used to plate the specimen. The harder concepts have to do with calculating the MIC.

How do I enroll in the Microbiology Capstone?
To enroll in the Microbiology Capstone, you must find an MBI faculty member willing to sponsor either your laboratory research (MBI 477.C) or your library research (MBI 440.C). Research Capstone courses require a completed independent study form for enrollment. Be sure to use the .C modifier when you enroll in either Research Capstone course and in the Seminar Capstone component (MBI 490.C).

Microbiology Are the products germicides?
They have not been classified as germicides at the present time. However, there products do not leave any residue or microbes. In addition, since these products do kill germs when applied, there is no need to sanitize your equipment with alcohol. Once cleaned with PharmaKlee products, sanitizing is completely optional.

What qualifies the Soleris system as “rapid” microbiology?
Traditional microbiological testing is time consuming because it involves the preparation of samples and the subsequent computing of results. The sensitivity and automation of the Soleris technology dramatically reduces time in both of these critical areas. Back To Top Hours and not days ... Testing Times Typical Sample Bioburden Levels Conventional Method Soleris Method Total viable counts 100,000 48 hours 6-8 hours Coliforms 100 24 hours 9-10 hours E.coli 10 24 hours 7-10 hours Yeast and Mold 10 5 days 30-35 hours Lactics 100 3-5 days 30-35 hours

How soon can I get my microbiology results?
We usually do microscans the same day. A culture plate needs to be incubated anywhere from two to seven days:
Saccharomyces yeast colonies and
Acetobacter colonies usually appear within two or three days, but
Brettanomyces colonies and lactic acid bacteria colonies often take up to a week to appear.

Why are present Microbiology Results so expensive?
If separate tests are performed for each of the different pathogens that can cause a particular patient’s infection, then the final cumulative price for all the results is quite high. Furthermore, any laboratory report that takes a long time to produce is inevitably expensive, due to high labor costs, consumables, and the varied infrastructure required to process the tests (large incubators, microscopes, etc). ...

How does GIDEON identify organisms in the Microbiology module?
GIDEON generates a ranked ID list for bacteria based on the occurrence of phenotypic tests times the likelihood for each relative taxon in clinical material ["prior prevalence"]. Phenotypic data used for ID are taken from Bergey's Manual and other standard tests, J Clin Microbiol. Int J Syst Evolut Microbiol, and other relevant journals. To generate a listing of phenotypic tests used by GIDEON for any taxa, click Characterize, scroll to the organism of interest, click on it's name, and click on phenotype. ...

Why does the Microbiology module lack information about Parasites?
The Microbiology module is designed to identify bacteria [yeasts, mycobacteria] based on phenotypic tests. In theory, this could extend to parasites, based on a long list of relatively obscure morphological criteria [aphasmid, nematode, vaginal pore, position of gonads, etc]. This could also be used to identify viruses [ether solubility, isocahedron, etc]. In either instance - much work for a limited user list. Much of the practical ID is in the current Epidemiology module. ...

Does Gynecor offer microbiology testing on endometrial samples?
We do not currently offer microbiology testing as there is no data describing the reliability of culture results from this method. (The Tao® Brush is provided in a sterile pack. If, after obtaining the endometrial sample, the physician were to retract the sheath and inoculate a tube of sterile broth transport media with the brush and its content sample, then that tube could be submitted for culture and sensitivity.

How are sensitivities ordered when sending a culture to Microbiology?
Sensitivities are automatically done on appropriate cultures unless the box on the Microbiology requisition (new requisition Dec. 2006) is checked that no sensitivities are required. The wording on the Microbiology requisitions has changed.

What is the average time-to-degree for a Microbiology student, and is it comparable to other programs?
Currently about 5-6 years, which is pretty typical in the biosciences. Annual thesis committee meetings provide a way to ensure that you proceed to degree in as timely a fashion as possible. Research is inherently unpredictable, but diligent student and faculty efforts as well as adherence to programmatic guidelines should make achieving a Ph.D. in 5 years a realistic goal.
