  • MI | Blood & Bone Marrow - Colony Morphologies & ID 27.08.2025 18m
    Microbiology | Blood and Bone Marrow - Colony Morphologies and IdentificationsWe’re at the heart of the microbiology lab, focusing on one of the most critical benches: blood and bone marrow cultures. We unpack the art and science of interpreting colony morphology and identifying the major pathogens that cause life-threatening bacteremia and sepsis. 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 This is a public episode.
