Microbiology: Inflammatory evidence

Oral Microbiology – progress, myths and evidence

This presentation aims to address some of the significant advances in oral microbiology that have taken place since the last EOMW. The use of high throughput, non-cultural approaches to describe the qualitative composition of oral microbial communities in different sites and in different populations, advanced imaging methodologies to define the community architecture of oral biofilms and progre...

Evidence based diagnostic microbiology: has its time come?

Special Rumen Microbiology

Bacteria make up about half of the living organisms inside of the rumen. However, they do more than half of the work in the rumen. The bacteria work together. Some breakdown certain carbohydrates and proteins which are then used by others. Some require certain growth factors, such as B-vitamins, which are made by others. Some bacteria help to clean up the rumen of others’ end products, such as ...

Molecular Testing in Microbiology

There are significant challenges associated with qualitative and quantitative nucleic acid tests performed in diagnostic laboratories. The development of internationally available certified reference materials which can be traced to reference measurements will contribute to a better understanding of the performance characteristics of nucleic acid tests and enhance reliability and comparability ...
