Activity 1- Overview about the subject

I expect fascinating, enjoyable, and demanding duties in this field and to

prepare me not only for exams, but also for life in general especially when inside the
laboratory. I also expect to learn valuable lessons about clinical bacteriology from my
teacher, whom I expect would be engaging, fun, wise and knowledgeable. The most
beneficial aspect of this subject, in my opinion, is that it will allow me to explore and
enhance my scientific knowledge. To recognize the major pathogenic yeast and
bacteria groups to humans that includes their occurrence, the illnesses they cause, and
the reasoning behind the laboratory tests used to isolate, identify, and test antibiotic
susceptibility. To make basic plate reading easier and to perform speedy presumptive
and confirmation identification tests on isolates so that the prescribing doctor has the
proper information. On the other hand, the fact that the lectures were online and there
were no such tools to experience experimenting would be the most tough aspect of
this subject for me, but I would take all of the teachings to heart and apply them by
doing my best in all of the activities. With my eagerness to learn and improve, I hope
to fulfill and even exceed my goals for the term.
