Book excerpt: Ideal for clinicians, infectious disease specialists, clinical laboratory scientists and technologists working in medical microbiology laboratories, this Cumitech serves as a quick and practical guide to the latest research, tools, and techniques needed to accurately diagnose ocular infections. It combines the most recent findings from the peer-reviewed literature with the authors' own first-hand experiences, opinions, and practical guidance. Setting the foundation, the guide begins with brief overviews of eye anatomy and infectious diseases of the eye. Next, the authors guide the reader step-by-step through specimen selection and handling, primary culture media, laboratory procedures, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. There is also a brief section covering effective communications between laboratory personnel and physicians. All of the techniques set forth in this guide can be easily implemented in any medical microbiology laboratory as well as incorporated into existing laboratory protocols.
