Reproducing Clinically Significant Multi-Organism Cultures to Improve Clinical Microbiology Education and Practice

Medical microbiology courses focus on clinically relevant organisms, but designing laboratory experiments that mimic clinical specimens can be challenging. Many clinical specimens produce multi-organism cultures, which are difficult to reproducibly create in the academic laboratory. With experience...
