(Experience of a successful trainee – Autumn 2023)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I divided it into bacteriology\/antimicrobial\/clinical\/ Viro\/ IPC\/ fungi\/parasite
As it\u2019s always easier to prepare in that way.
For bacteria – SMIs, especially tables at the back, covering all media, especially for faecal samples – how colonies of salmonella\/shigella look like on CLD\/DCA
Biochemical tests – I am sure we do know them already, but revise catalase\/coagulase\/oxidase\/Indole\/citrate\/TSI can be found in SMI or any basic micro book.
Simple things like oxidase\/urease positives. All basic bacteria gram stain\/cat\/coagulase\/ any special media\/ any special test
Clostridium sSMI are really important.
Some others, like GPRs actinomycete\/Nocardia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lab management like
Category 3\/2 lab to differentiate
Hazard groups<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Antibiotics resistance mechanisms, CPEs-PHE and EUCAST documents
Alternative methods to test
Gentamicin- dosing
Newer antibiotics-<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clinica l- all bacteria with PHE actions are important
Shigella\/salmonella\/Ecoli O157\/Hinfluenzae\/C diphtheriae and C ulcerans<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clinical- Meningitis\/GAS\/Pertussis\/Syphilis\/endocarditis\/PJI study as you are the infectious disease doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Virology- serology tables from SMIs hepatitis, EBV
BBV\/ needle stick injury
BHIVA and BASSH guidelines to refer<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fungus- IDSA candida, aspergillus, Oxford book<\/p>\n\n\n\n
IPC-HTMs ventilation 03-01 new, legionella, pseudo in water, endoscope
Outbreak management<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Critical appraisal is gone, but examiners can ask in the general question category.
I had read cases in Medical Microbiology and infection disease books & Damani for infection control.
