RE: Practical Microbiology: Processing AFB Cultures

in STEMGeeks • 5 years ago

That's a fascinating discussion. Not everyone would be comfortable working with the potential danger of these materials. Most people don't have the focus to be careful all the time (I don't), even if they have the expertise to conduct the tests.

    I can't imagine people working with BSL-4 stuff.

    Then, you are talking about stuff like Ebola, etc.

    Will you be working with the Wuhan corona virus?

    I think that will be handled by our molecular pathology department.

    But, physicians will most likely order microbiology cultures on those patients too.

    I haven't heard of cases in my area yet, but our leadership are preparing.
