Week 34

Please answer the following questions:

ISO 15189, the international foundation for medical laboratory quality and competence states, “The laboratory shall establish and implement an internal audit program that includes the selection of auditors who are trained to assess performance of the laboratory's management system.” Which of the following would be acceptable approaches for training auditors to perform laboratory internal audits? (more than one answer is possible)(Required)

Invite staff to read ISO 15189 (or their provincial accreditation standard) on their own prior to performing the internal audit as the only training given.

Invite staff to search YouTube videos on Internal Audits-15189 prior to performing the internal audit

Have staff participate in an externally developed internal audit training program prior to performing the audit.

Develop an in-house seminar/discussion-based auditor training program and make the staff participate in it.

Week 33

Please answer the following questions:

Step 1 of 2

Please select the correct statement(s)(Required)

Unlike Candida albicans, which is germ tube positive, Candida parapsilosis is germ tube negative.

Candida parapsilosis is an important nosocomial pathogen associated with a variety of infections in immunocompromised patients and in patients with intravascular devices

Colony morphology of Candida parapsilosis is typical and is a quick way to differentiate from Candida albicans

Although some kits (Microscan, Rapid Yeast Plus) may misidentify Candida auris as potentially several species of Candida species and thus identify Candida parapsilosis as Candida auris; this is not considered significant as both yeasts have similar clinical characteristics

Please answer the following questions:

Step 1 of 2

Please select the correct statement(s)(Required)

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing is not routinely performed on isolates of Legionella due to a lack of standardized methods.

Legionella infection takes two basic forms: pneumonia (Legionnaires’ disease) and Pontiac fever (an acute self-limiting flu-like illness with no lower respiratory tract symptoms).

Antimicrobial agents with good intracellular activity against Legionella include most macrolides, tetracyclines, and fluoroquinolones

Routine culture media (blood agar, chocolate agar) support the growth of Legionella species

Week 30

Please answer the following questions:

Step 1 of 2

Please select the correct statement(s)(Required)

A preliminary report should not be issued when isolating Salmonella spp. until confirmation of the identification is done by serologic testing.

Automated commercial bio-chemical platforms and API panels can routinely identify Salmonella to genus level, as do MALDI-TOF platforms.

Salmonella gastroenteritis is one of the most common forms of bacterial gastroenteritis.

Uncomplicated gastroenteritis caused by Salmonella spp. is usually self-limiting

Isolation and typing of Salmonella species from stools are important for public health follow up.

Week 29

Posted on July 31, 2023 by Riya Ghandi

Please answer the following questions:

Step 1 of 2

Please select the correct statement(s)(Required)

Patients colonized or infected with Enterococcus gallinarum (and Enterococcus caseliflavus) do not require the same isolation precautions as true vancomycin-resistant enterococci.

It is not necessary to test susceptibility to vancomycin for Enterococcus casseliflavus or Enterococcus gallinarum.

Enterococcus gallinarum and Enterococcus casseliflavus need to be distinguished from vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis

It is acceptable to report Enterococcus gallinarum as susceptible to vancomycin as these organisms have very low level of resistance to this agent.
