Go Inside a Clinical Microbiology Lab

Go inside a clinical microbiology lab at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and learn about careers in clinical microbiology.

[@microbiologist2474]

it has long been my dream to become a clinical microbiologist. this fall, I am starting my undergraduate degree program double-majoring in Microbiology and Immunology and Infectious Disease. I am honored to dive into such a diverse field, and hope to get to know some of these great people.

[@CariBaez]

Microbiologist24/7 awesome.n.n

[@lolade7938]

Hi

[@mohamedismailabd-elsattar4781]

Can BSc of Microbiology be Clinical microbiologist ? Or I must be physician ( graduated from medicine school ) or study medicine to be Clinical microbiologist ?

[@tania38513]

Did you do it ?

[@microbiologist2474]

@@tania38513 I did! I am entering my senior year now to graduate with a B.Sc in Microbiology. After that, it's on to grad school for a PhD in Microbiology.

[@acaughey09]

The lack of gloves on those older techs haha

[@debbie9271]

A dream❤️

[@Singhapur1]

Great for the Younger generation and Upcoming Research Oriented Teams from various Medical Fields. Thanks dear Colleagues.

[@ryanblack844]

I've been thinking about going back to get a degree for lab tech. This sparked my curiosity further and Hershey is where I go for my own labs. Nice coincidence!

[@kathymac21]

Do it? I am retired from a hospital lab and did Micro for 35 years. I miss the mystery and what I call the Sherlock Holmes part of it. Looking at plates and trying to figure out what things are. I can sight ID many things. That comes with experience. I truly loved it.

[@beenaasokan8569]

Good speech 👌👏👏👏👏💟😃very informative video.

[@wakeupscreaming9883]

I'm getting the idea microbiologists do a lot of swabbing, and staining, and looking at slides through microscopes, over...and over...and over again. Day in and day out. Really "exciting".

[@athinipearl1470]

can somebody tell me the subjects of Microbiologist

[@folklore_of_beth]

wakeupscreaming what did you expect?

[@MoveInSilence2444]

It IS really exciting!

[@praisypaj]

I take it u arent a microbiologist ??

[@MrOoglebog]

As a microbiologist... what isn't exciting about that! LOL.

[@Imogen18113]

Watching this brings back memories. Unfortunately I had to retire on medical grounds. I do miss being in the laboratory.

[@sanjulama3217]

you where a research scientist?

[@kathymac21]

I miss it too

[@izak_s]

my passion, long journey never ends

[@bettina1223]

Love the field.Hate working for a factory called Q---- Diagnostics

[@emmacassady4518]

It’s all q diagnostics at this point

[@ryanblack844]

Why is that the only one? Lol

[@wabilkhogali3808]

this the best thing to khnowledge to understand micro and oother field lately this just according to miocrobs

[@ananyabadrinath2939]

Can a person with a MS degree in clinical and molecular microbiology shift their line of interest to food ? ie: go into food microbiology?

[@syed-wd8ib]

is it mandatory to stop spreading bacteria culture on agar plate if we feel resistance or can we continue with smooth touches. Kindly reply

[@archelbedaure7753]

microbiology is an interesting career...

[@vaishnavidharmadhikari21]

Yes absolutely

[@aliquran7535]

Wait is this is the same thing as medical laboratory technologist?

[@cmillerewu1]

I was really hoping to show this video to my students, but I cant because they are not using safe lab practices. This video has great material but I am disappointed that ASM would put out something with bad practices in it.

[@asmicrobiology]

Cassi - This is a comment reply (which I am not sure why it isn't showing here) from Mary Beth Miele in reference to tcox664's previous comment - "For tcox644 ... it actually is a safe practice. We don't recommend managing plates w/ gloves. Happy to provide additional insight if interested. David Craft Penn State Hershey Medical Center."

[@beast426]

Gloves are not safe practice, easy to forget to change and contaminate specimens. Washing hands is the better practice

[@prabakaraseelang4422]

ya.. many Indian labs they are not use gloves...including me. before 25 yes ..but the sterilation..and washing hands...such precautions done..now youngsters accept their prevention..now I hardly recommend to wear gloves because of lot of samples..don't critisise such a small..event this huge lab knows its precautions.. thank you..

[@theunappolgetichogger6061]

The starting background music is kinda similar to Tera chera song from SANAM TERI KASAM. I wonder who copied who? Or may be they have a copyright, just curious.🤔

[@ChandruChandru-nh7vu]

Hi.... im studying microbiology final year.....i saw our experiment vedio very intrested...pls next vedio u will present to me...( isolation and identification of micro organisms....and the materials of microbiology lab....)

[@user-hg5ob3kz2i]

Yes

[@mahdi189]

Hi . I m a pathology resident with a Medical Degree . I d like to understand exactly what s the difference between some one having a Md and a Phd in microbiology as a job in the usa?

[@MoveInSilence2444]

MD's pass medical boards and can treat patients. Ph.D's usually specialize in a certain scienctific concentration and work in the field/medical lab or do research. Ph.D's can take medical boards with the ABMM and be on the same level as a Clinical Pathologist(MD) in the laboratory setting. This is what I've found through my research on these careers so far.

[@nidhibarot1462]

Hey i want to know how can i practice clinical microbiology with indian md microbiology degree

[@agentx69]

Hi, any suggestions for me? I'm planning to pursue a carreer in Virology in the future. Unfortunately, in my country, there are no universities that offer BS-Virology. However, there are universities that offer BS-Microbiology but these universities are located 100 km away from my residence and work. (By the way, I'm currently out of school because I need to work to support my family, I'm working in a call center company to support the studies of my two siblings and the financial needs of my family) I found a university near me and my working place that only offer BS-Biology major in Biotechnology, I'm not sure if this will be a good background for my virology career. And I'm still not sure if I can support my studies on my own. The reason I want to become a Virologist ks because I want to find cure for cancer, my inspiration behind this is my mother who was diagnosed with breast cancer.

[@praisypaj]

Start with bachelors in microbiology or clinical microbiology

[@muhammadbinamir3813]

Can a phd microbiology teach doctor in hospital ? Answer pleade

[@joshuaestrada6042]

Any good universities where I can go to study this?

[@Scott-gl4zz]

I'm personally going to UF for a microbiology degree but I've had lots of family attend Penn State, as displayed in this video, which has a good biology department. I'd do research on good (affordable) undergrad programs and then see where that takes u

[@griffinhewlett7308]

Use the word prokaryote during an interview and you can skip university going straight to a lab.

[@user-cw3xh2ih8o]

Please tell me the name of the procedure

[@tcox664]

why is the lady at around 2 minutes in not wearing gloves!!!??? That cant be a safe practice.

[@beast426]

tcox664 gloves carry more microbiomes than hands. You'll wash your hands more than you'll change gloves. Its standard practice

[@theanimalkeaper]

I think she has skin colored gloves on

[@mussaratshaheen3412]

Very nice

[@user-cw3xh2ih8o]

What is the name of the procedure

[@unotechrih8040]

No hair tie needed in the lab? That was kind of basic like having close-toed shoes while I was getting my degrees...

[@abbf988]

Sir , what is the minimum salary in india after completing bachelor or master in microbiology ?

[@vanithaarun6081]

10k for fresher's

[@ChandruChandru-nh7vu]

Then the hamotology experiments...

[@arresteddevelopment2158]

Streaking a plate

[@vee1115]

The lack of proper PPE (gloves) 🤦‍♀️

[@allanjr.villarubia6302]

Shout-out to 3 BSE- SCIENCE😊

[@mitchellfatata5361]

where are those gloves at tho?

[@kkyqii]

Gloves sometimes have more germs than your hands

[@sadafzishan748]

ah dream

[@user-gk1hw3qj4s]

[@acalp]

1:05 gloves on 1:22 no gloves They dont follow proper lab safety

[@kathymac21]

We did not always use gloves when handling bacterial culture plates on the bench. We did most all the time, but it was not required. When I started in 2979, we did not use gloves and mouth pipetted. I would never mouth pipette again.

[@AyshaSha-vc1cj]

Gloves On at streaking. Gloves off at colony observation. It's alright.

[@griffinhewlett7308]

In a chemistry lab they might get cancer but this is biology a good old hand wash should do the trick

[@Makaylah13]

No gloves😷

[@user-pq4dx2kc7m]

R😊

[@nikapanda160]

Working without gloves can put my opinion about professionalism of these people down? yes...

[@user-im6wx4cx9o]
