At the hospital bench, a positive blood culture calls for prompt communication. Interpreting a urine culture means checking how the sample was collected. Gram stains and antibiograms raise questions that cannot be answered by memorising a table alone.
I created MicrobioHub to bring together the references I look for at the bench: what to measure, how to calculate it and what to check before reporting a result. The calculators cover CFU/mL and dilutions; the tips address everyday situations; the microorganism profiles connect identification, growth and resistance to practical decisions.
The e-book Practical Microbiology: The Bench Guide brings this material together in a longer guide for reference and study.
Before using any result, check your laboratory's SOPs, quality controls and current standards. This material supports bench work; it does not, on its own, determine whether a result can be reported.
