Melissa Kelly hosts Web Microbiology at ACM, a education show with 64 episodes published.
Chapter 12, Episode 18 This episode concludes antimicrobial therapy by exploring antibiotic resistance and treatments for non-bacterial pathogens. It explains how bacteria develop resistance through mutation and gene tra
Chapter 12, Episode 17 This episode continues the overview of antibacterial drug classes. It covers drugs that target the cell membrane, then moves into drugs that target DNA and RNA, including, highlighting their bacter
Chapter 12, Episode 16 This episode begins the discussion of specific antimicrobial drug classes, organized by mechanism of action. It starts with the historical development of Salvarsan and penicillin, then focuses on b
Chapter 18, Episode 10 We finish Chapter 18 by exploring PCR, DNA sequencing, and other molecular technologies, and how they have transformed microbial identification and are shaping the future of diagnostic microbiology
Chapter 18, Episode 9 Discover how immunologic tests such as ELISA and rapid antigen tests detect pathogens and antibodies, providing faster diagnostic information for patient care.
Chapter 18, Episode 8 Explore how real clinical microbiology labs process patient specimens, use selective media and identification panels, and determine effective antibiotic treatments.
Chapter 18, Episode 7 A walkthrough of the Unknown ID Dry Lab, including how to use dichotomous keys, interpret test results, and identify unknown bacteria using the same reasoning process used in clinical laboratories.
Chapter 18, Episode 6 Learn how clinical microbiologists identify disease-causing bacteria by phenotype, using observations, staining, and biochemical tests to narrow down suspects. This is just like playing a game of "G
Chapter 12, Episode 15 This episode introduces the principles of antimicrobial therapy, focusing on the goal of selective toxicity. It reviews key concepts like bactericidal vs. bacteriostatic drugs, broad vs. narrow spe
Chapter 11, Episode 14 Additional chemical control methods include alcohols, oxidizing agents, surfactants, quats, heavy metals, aldehydes, gaseous sterilants, and essential oils, each with distinct mechanisms and applic
Chapter 11, Episode 13 Chemical control methods work by targeting key cellular structures such as the cell wall, membrane, proteins, or nucleic acids, resulting in either microbial death or growth inhibition. The effecti
Chapter 5, Episode 6 In this episode we finish the chapter on eukaryotes by discussing algae, protozoa and helminths. We review the life cycle of Plasmodium , the protozoa that causes malaria, and cover the different cla
Chapter 5, Episode 5 In this episode we explore the characteristics of microorganisms belonging to the kingdom of fungi. What makes them unique, what their morphologies are, the similarities between fungal cells and huma
Chapter 5, Episode 4 This episode introduces the Endosymbiotic Theory and explains how complex eukaryotic cells evolved from prokaryotic ancestors. We briefly review the major groups of microbial eukaryotes and highlight
Chapter 4, Episode 3 This episode examines the internal structures of bacteria, including chromosomes, plasmids, ribosomes, and the powerful survival strategy of endospore formation. We also compare bacteria to archaea a
Chapter 4, Episode 2 We dive into the external structures that help bacteria move, attach, exchange genes, and survive. From flagella and chemotaxis to pili, capsules, and the Gram-positive vs. Gram-negative cell envelop
Chapter 4, Episode 1 This episode explores the structure and “lifestyle” of bacterial cells, from shape and arrangement to biofilm formation and motility. Learn how features like capsules, flagella, and quorum sensing in
Chapter 25, Episode 16 This episode focuses on applied microbiology, water safety, and the One Health concept connecting environmental, animal, and human health. Topics include biotechnology, fermentation, wastewater tre
Chapter 25, Episode 15 This episode introduces microbial ecology and explains how microorganisms are essential for maintaining life on Earth. It focuses on microbial roles in the carbon and nitrogen cycles, decomposition
Chapter 3, Episode 5 This episode explains how clinical laboratories identify microbes using a stepwise, evidence-based approach, combining culture, staining, biochemical tests, and molecular methods. You’ll see how rapi
