Translational medicine and biotechnologies 2 - microbiology (Clerkship)
A.Y. 2025/2026
Learning objectives
Through hands-on activities in clinical microbiology laboratories, students will strengthen the theoretical knowledge and practical skills acquired during lectures, with particular emphasis on diagnostic methodologies and interpretation of microbiological data.
Expected learning outcomes
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
1.Correctly collect and manage clinical specimens for microbiological investigation
2.Apply standard microbiological techniques for the identification of pathogens (e.g. microscopy, culture, biochemical and molecular methods)
3.Perform and interpret antimicrobial susceptibility tests
4.Understand and critically evaluate microbiology laboratory reports
5.Integrate microbiological findings into clinical decision-making processes, including diagnosis, treatment, and infection control strategies
