that list isnt too bad. most of those organisms are easy to differentiate. now, when u have vibrio, salmonella, bacillus, proteus, neisseria, staph, e. coli, and shigella - all causing similar disease patterns and having to diagnose which is which...pretty much diarrhea is all youre looking at.

My course isn't diagnostic, it's systematic. I have to know how to identify each member of each family through a set of allotted tests, know it's structure, its toxins/virulence factors, symptoms, patterns on agar/other media, and pretty much everything else about each fucking species. If he puts in a case study in the exam, he'd surely include a slight hint that would differentiate the organism he's talking about from others, but in a fashion that isn't too obvious that it's pretty much an extra credit question. That's what he did in the diagnostic virology course that he gave me last semester.
The lectures are pretty dull, but the work involved is fun. I know nobody in an actual bacteriology lab does the tests we do, especially on enterobacteria because of those multi-test strips available, but it's still fun to plate and do all that shit.
and no, none that i know of, but i do know some algae that can secrete biofuels

I'm Chinese and can't memorize for shit unless it really appeals to me (which really can work with anyone)
I'm just kidding! :tongue:
Poor kitty.
Oh, and Anathemic. That means you're special! Like everybody around you is special in their own way, you're special as well.

Oh yes. Virology was mega-fun last semester. I didn't even study that much and I got an 81. Herpes was pretty boring to study. Rabies was the shiz.

I'm special! Woot!
