Introduction Microorganisms Everywhere in the environment Cause disease if Pathogenic in nature Displaced from their natural environment Medical assistant Identification of microorganisms Proper collection techniques Testing procedures Quality control Microbiology and the Role of the Medical Assistant Microbiology – study of microorganisms Microorganisms Resident normal flora Pathogens Medical assistant Assist the physician Preparing specimens Learning Outcome: Explain the medical assistant’s role in microbiology. Microorganisms – simple forms of microscopic life found everywhere and commonly made up of a single cell. Resident normal flora – normally found on the skin and within the human body, perform a number of important functions and typically do not cause disease. Pathogenic – cause infections and their proper diagnosis and treatment are essential to .
