Memorable Microbes
more...
Many bacteria have very distinctive
characteristics that once seen are not easily
forgotten. However in a routine clinical microbiology
laboratory, many of these are seen infrequently; this
makes the process of building a “morphologic memory
bank” a slow one.
This workshop will be an
opportunity to see a large range of “memorable microbes”
all in one day.
Includes handouts plus afternoon tea.

Kerrie Stevens
