Introduction to Clinical Mycology
Part 2
Introduction to Clinical Mycology
January 2012
The introduction to Clinical Mycology, this is a second in a series of four presentations on clinical mycology. Part one was a diagnosis, classification and general features. Part two reviews the basic structures of molds and yeasts. It presents a brief introduction to the direct microscopic examination of clinical specimens and also discusses media that are useful for culture. And we will cover these today.
