Practical Anaerobic Bacteriology Workshops

Description
This workshop consists of three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory. The lecture portion will cover theoretical aspects of obligate anaerobiosis, types of infections involving anaerobic bacteria and the anaerobic organisms most frequently involved in infections. Techniques covered will include specimen collection, primary isolation, identification and susceptibility testing. The laboratory session will present unknown organisms for identification using rapid, inexpensive and reliable procedures.
 
Course Objectives
At the conclusion of the seminar, the participants will be able to:

  • Explain the mechanism of oxygen toxicity, which is harmful to anaerobes.
  • Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of various systems that provide anaerobic conditions.
  • Recognize minimum requirements for the successful collection of anaerobic specimens.
  • Identify the primary media for the isolation of anaerobic bacteria.
  • Apply and interpret rapid spot tests for the identification of anaerobes.
  • Identify the most common anaerobes in clinical specimens.

Short Course on Anaerobic Bacteriology for the Clinical Lab

Description
This abbreviated version of the Practical Anaerobic Bacteriology course ranges from two hours to half a day in length. Printed placemats and the Anaerobe Educator interactive software are used in place of live unknowns for an accelerated treatment of anaerobe identification.
