The document outlines competencies and objectives for microbiology laboratory techniques. It covers recognizing principles of antimicrobial therapy including antibiotic resistance and sensitivity testing. Specific objectives include administering antibiotic sensitivity tests, explaining the importance of selective toxicity of antimicrobial agents, identifying pros and cons of broad-spectrum and narrow-spectrum antimicrobials, completing and describing results of a Kirby-Bauer test for S. epidermidis, and determining antibiotic sensitivity of microorganisms. Instructions and rubrics for competency assessment are provided.
