GROWING NEED FOR CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGY SERVICES
Dr.T.V.Rao MD In a Country like India and many developing countries the role of a good clinical Microbiology services are undermined with lack of communication between the seniors , technicians and the clinical services, however the clinical microbiology will certainly play a great role in taking decisions at least in the serious and critically ill patients however no care is taken in the beginning to depended on diagnostic microbiology and people approach the laboratory when it is too late get the effective services, However the antibiotics are free for all nothing changes, In part perhaps because the diagnostic activities of microbiologists are pursued separately, in hospital and commercial labs,
GOOD MICROBIOLOGY STARTS WITH MICROSCOPY AND READING A CULTURE PLATE - Many of my teachers told us that good Microbiology starts with simple observations of Microscopy, it is important to gather as much information as possible from microscopic examinations of Gram stains. an experienced person can often tell a-hemolytic strep from b-hemolytic ones by just looking at them in a smear. A true experience develops when they correlate the Microscopy with growth on culture plate Here, basic microbiology knowledge often enters the picture. Though “reading” the plates may sound simple, it surely is not. Every set of plates presents a different challenge about what to do next with each bacterial colony and it takes considerable experience to get it right.We have to choose among many paths, such as picking a colony for biochemical tests, making a smear for a Gram stain, carrying out antibiotic sensitivity tests, and so on.If one can separate a pathogen from commensals and identify the drug resistance is the best work one can do and even all the postgraduates should be proficient to get a post graduate degree awarded I was curious about how the people in the lab felt about the possible impacts of future changes. All the signs point to continuing technological developments geared toward increasing the speed of diagnosis but likely displacing laboratory personnel in the process. Which however not possible as long we practice a good clinical microbiology as it matters to care the patients in real time service, GROWING NEED FOR CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGY - Today Clinical microbiologists uncover new and important pathogens, perform the role of sentinels to alert of possible upcoming epidemics, provide statistical and clinical information regarding the pathogens currently on the scene, and spur demands on research to create novel diagnostic tools.
There is a growing disappointments in Medical Microbiologists in India due to lack of work culture and in coordination both intra departmental interdepartmental issues I wish to state using Antibiotics without a competent diagnostic services is a blind trail /treatments in an era where is entry of many Super bugs which needs proper identification documentation and sensible Antibiograms,
TIME TO THINK ABOUT CHANGING NEED FOR CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGY
