This lab is divided into 3 parts
- An introductory demonstration
of performing a Gram stain
- Seven (7)cases (with computerized
slides)
- Work individually through
each of the 7 cases taken from infections seen at MUSC, carefully examining
each slide and answering the questions about each case. Each slide generally
has 5 microscopic fields to click on to give you the impression of reading
the slide. Do not look at just one field...as with a real Gram stain,
one field on a slide may not contain the same organisms as another field.
- Refer to "Reporting
Observations", "Gram Stain Results" and "Specimen
Gram Stain" menu selections on the left to assist in your interpretation
of each slide.
- Click on your response to each question for feedback.
- A review/evaluation exercise
must be completed and uploaded to Moodle to receive credit for the lab.
