CASE REPORT
MICROBIOLOGIST-IN-CHARGE: your name (provide partner?s name also)
PATIENT NAME: the patient?s name
TYPE OF SPECIMEN: eg. Urine
MICROSCOPY:
This is of original specimen; please copy as written in manual, don?t include the key.
Write ?N/A? if none performed/supplied.
CULTURE RESULT:
Here, list the organism/s isolated and how much of each organism was grown: (e.g. Heavy
growth of E.coli)
EXCEPT FOR URINE, where you have to say the number per ml (e.g. 7.2 X 104 E. coli/ml but if
more than 105, then e.g. >105 E.coli/ml).
If antimicrobial susceptibilities performed they are reported here, in a table format. These
allow the doctor to decide on the appropriate treatment.
OTHER RESULTS:
All your results here: colony morphology, growth conditions, quantity/counts, calculations, Gram
stain, all ID tests (list controls used), etc., in a table format, set out in sequence they were
done.
DISCUSSION:
Discuss your results. How did you arrive at your identification? Importance of pure cultures, any
problems you experienced, suggestions for improving the procedure you used, suggestions for
any other media that could be used or tests that could be done. Were any problems
experienced with susceptibility tests? Did looking at one week old, refrigerated cultures, affect
the results? Any other thoughts? [Word limit: 200 WORDS]
COMMENTS:
? Does the culture result correlate with the specimen?s original microscopy?
? Is/are the isolated organism/s significant? i.e. suggestive of infection or is it normal flora, skin
contaminant, environmental contaminant, etc., give a concise reason. Is/are the organism/s
normally a pathogen, an opportunistic pathogen, part of the normal flora?
? What infections/diseases can it cause? List only a couple.
? If it was to be to be treated, list one antimicrobial that could be used.
[Word limit: 150 WORDS]
REFERENCES: Don?t forget to include the lab manual.FORMAT
