Back in our virtual studio joining myself and Brian we are delighted to have Dr Siân Frosini Lecturer in Veterinary Clinical Microbiology here at the RVC. Siân did her undergraduate training here at the RVC and her PhD, and we are truly delighted that she has stayed on. We thought that we’d talk about bacteriology, sample submission and what do these reports with minimum inhibitory concentration actually mean. We hope that you enjoy.

0:00.0 | Gooday, Dominic Barfield here, and this is the |
0:01.8 | obviously clinical podcast. Thank you for listening and thank |
0:04.2 | you for subscribing on your smartphone, your generic |
0:06.3 | fruit-based device. I'm really grateful for you taking the |
0:08.7 | time to download and listen to this obviously podcast. |
0:10.8 | We don't ask much for a return, but we're |
0:12.5 | being incredibly grateful if you could pop to Apple Podcasts or |
0:15.0 | you cast and leave us a review. I've learned to Spotify, |
0:16.9 | you can't leave a review, but anyway, if you listen to us on Spotify, well done. Obviously a five-star review would be great, but we could really appreciate if you take |
0:24.4 | help and it's your time to leave us a review. |
0:26.9 | So joining Brian and myself in our remote studio, we're going to talk to Dr. Sean Frasini, |
0:32.6 | who is one of our lectures here, or our only lecturer here in the obviously in veterinary |
0:37.0 | clinical microbiology. |
0:38.7 | So thank you, Sean, for joining us. |
0:40.6 | Thanks, Dom. |
0:41.7 | And what we thought we'd talk about is sort of interpreting some of the information you get back from a laboratory, |
0:52.9 | in particular microlabs, the minimum inhibitory |
0:56.5 | concentration. But I thought before we maybe start that off, maybe we should think first about |
1:03.4 | when we submit samples for microbiology assessment. How should we do that, Sean? Yeah, so I think that probably in terms of sample |
1:14.0 | prep, actually bacteriology is relatively simple. Bacteria need a transport media to be contained in. |
1:20.7 | So you'll often see swabs with either a clear or a dark liquid or sort of semi-liquid media that |
1:27.1 | you put the swab into. And that transport media is |
