Diagnostic microbiology concentrates on laboratory analysis of clinical specimens in cases when an infectious disease is suspected. In other words, it is the study of microbial infection.
The field of infectious disease diagnostics is ever changing with both newly identified infections such as SARS, Ebola, and Zika virus as well as yearly epidemics and potential for pandemic w...
In an era of healthcare reform and evidenced-based medicine, it is important to use the most clinically relevant and cost effective methods in all aspects of microbiology. This session will c...
