Microbiology
EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS
Organisms that cause infections are diverse and include viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. Some very common presentations seen in primary care are strep throat, UTIs, yeast infections, URTIs, thrush, parasitic infections and common skin infections. Most clinicians in primary care will see patients with these presentations nearly every day. These videos will discuss some of these patient presentations.
