What will I learn?
This Systematic Bacteriology Course provides practical, step-by-step training to classify and identify bacteria confidently. You will learn microscopy and staining techniques, primary screening tests, biochemical panels, and selective media, then integrate molecular tools such as 16S rRNA sequencing and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Develop efficient decision trees, apply contemporary taxonomy, utilise key reference resources, and produce clear, defensible identification reports for laboratory workflows.
