. . . . . CORRESPONDENCE COURSE U.S. ARMY MEDICAL DEPARTMENT CENTER AND SCHOOL SUBCOURSE MD0856 EDITION 200 BACTERIOLOGY The whole purpose of clinical laboratory procedures is to provide the clinician doing diagnostic work with specific information needed to round out his picture of the disorders he has observed in the patient. Clinical bacteriology can contribute its part by supplying data about the microscopic life involved and the susceptibility of such life to particular drugs. To identify bacterial growth, you must take certain steps that will enable you, through a process of elimination, to choose the microscopic form that fits the findings you have obtained. Steps that are often essential include: 1. Observing the type of growth when first isolated on culture media. 2 Making a microscopic examination on stained material from an isolated culture of that colony. 3. Performing various tests to obtain a list of the characteristics of the organism. 4. Making a complete identification of the organism.
