About Medical Bacteriology
GoConqr OriginalWhat the unit covers
This unit sits in the Medically Important Microorganisms strand of Microbiology and immunology. The listed resources move from basic laboratory skills to individual pathogens, so you can work through the unit or dip into one organism.
Early topics include staining and growth media. The flashcards on stains and the properties of growth media ask which bugs do not Gram stain well and why, and offer mnemonics to help you recall them. The Gram Stain Morphology Quiz asks you to recall the stain and shape of organisms such as N. meningitidis and E. coli.
Where to start
- Begin with the Online Gram Stain Module flashcards, which use images such as sputum specimens.
- Move to the Bacterial Morphology + Gram Stains flashcards and the Bacteria Shapes quiz.
- Try the Intracellular Bugs flashcards and the Endotoxins flashcards for mnemonic-based recall.
- Then choose an organism group: Staphylococcus Aureus, Streptococcus, Enterobacteriaceae, Clostridia or Mycobacterium Tuberculosis.
Using quizzes and maps together
Open a mind map first to see how an organism fits together. The Staphylococcus Aureus map, for instance, covers morphology, colony appearance on blood agar and virulence factors. Then take a quiz on the same organism to check what stuck. The Enterobacteriaceae quiz works through TSI agar and indole broth, which makes a good follow-up to the Enterobacteriaceae and Gut Diseases map.
For exam-style practice, the Pre-Test Microbiology - Bacteriology quiz presents a clinical case, a patient with a peptic ulcer and a gastric biopsy cultured on chocolate agar. The listed resources also mention USMLE, so this style of question may suit professional candidates.
Notes and slides
Short notes and slides fill gaps. There are notes on Mycobacteria, Botulism and Clostridium neurotoxins, and a slide set on H. Pylori. Teachers can pick any of these as ready-made material for a class.
Choose one organism today, open its map, then try a matching quiz.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I start with?
If Gram staining is new to you, start with the Online Gram Stain Module flashcards, then try the Gram Stain Morphology Quiz. Once you can place the main organisms by stain and shape, move on to a group such as Enterobacteriaceae or the streptococci.
What do the mind maps cover?
The more than 400 mind maps cover individual organisms and groups, including Staphylococcus Aureus, Streptococcus Pyogenes, Clostridia, Campylobacter, Brucella, Chlamydiae and Neisseria. Others deal with wider topics such as bacterial nutrition and growth, normal flora and the pathogenesis of cholera.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so styles and depth vary from one resource to the next.
Who are these resources for?
Most are aimed at university students, with some for professional candidates, and teachers can use them as ready-made material. The listed resources mention USMLE, so those preparing for it may find the case-style quizzes a useful way to practise.
Is there anything on clinical cases?
Yes. The Pre-Test Microbiology - Bacteriology quiz opens with a patient with a peptic ulcer and asks you to reason from the biopsy culture conditions. There is also a slide set on H. Pylori to read alongside it.
What if I cannot find my topic?
Search within the page for the organism or lecture name, as many resources are titled by pathogen. If nothing fits, a free account lets you build your own quiz, mind map, flashcards or notes for the topic.
