Microbiology quiz; plate reading app.
All tests for identification of a potential pathogen is mostly based on the collection site of the specimen. This app will help you learn how to identify unknown specimen by the type of specimen the organism was isolated from.
For example, when looking at a plate collected from a urine sample, one can assume that the patient was suffering from urinary tract infection when the specimen was collected. So looking at the plate and knowing the specimen type would help in ruling out all other possible microorganism.
These key questions are very helpful in identifying unknown specimen:
1. What organisms commonly cause disease in the body site where this specimen was collected?
2. What type of medium is this organism growing on?
3. Is the medium selective?
4. If so, what does the medium select for and/or against?
5. Is the medium differential?
6. If so, what physiological characteristics does the medium distinguish?
7. What are the distinguishing features of the colonies on the plate?
8. Do these features suggest a particular organism or exclude a particular organism?
9. After addressing these questions, you should be able to narrow it down to a list of organisms that are potentially growing on the plate.
Some bacteria have unique colony characteristics, and you may be able to Identify the organism immediately, without performing any biochemical tests.

Love the app! I would love if the microscopic pictures were made a tad bit more clearer, but otherwise it's great!
It is very useful for medical students like me...helps us understand our lessons more and a good exercise for our brain in terms of memory retainment.
it's a best app for beginers in microbiology for learning and for the intermediates to revise and recall, Quite intresting too.
really fun app!! just hope it could help my lab practical. hope to uploaded some more knowledge points or rational behind the question!
The game is educative,refreshing and keep updating. Thank you.
I so much enjoyed playing this game, I therefore recommend it to every Microbiology students.
Great app but limited questions and the scoring system is poor.
This is a super nice development. Kudos to the developer

I love it
best
love it
Enjoyed it
Easy-to-use.
money grabbed
thank you
One of the best games ever really worth learning each and every detail of microbiology plating techniques also very useful for students and the ones who are interested in microbiology thank you so much quickapp Ninja it was really the best game ever but the only problem was there were only 61 levels I would love if you increase the number of levels so we can improve our knowledge more and more and brush our basics ... thank you so much!!!
