Microbiology for the surgical technologist is designed to give the student an understanding of basic microbiology and how disease-causing organisms may affect their patient or their patient’s course of post-operative treatment. Emphasis is placed on how to integrate this knowledge into the student’s practice as a surgical technologist in the surgical environment. Factors possibly contributing to infection and approaches for providing the best aseptic practices pre-, post-, and intra-operatively are discussed.
