Start NowBacteria are single-celled prokaryotic organisms, believed to be the most ancient living organisms on Earth—so much so that mitochondria and chloroplasts likely evolved from bacteria that were engulfed by eukaryotes. Today, humans have a complex relationship with these organisms. While some are normal colonizers of body surfaces and tracts, and may even be integral to digestion, others have pathogenic potential and can thus be harmful.
In this course, the discussion will center around the most common bacterial pathogens in clinical practice. Additionally, the student will be introduced to the concept of the human microbiome, the basics of infection, bacterial toxins, and antimicrobial resistance.
For optimal comprehension, the student will be required to have preliminary knowledge of molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, histology, and physiology. Familiarity with the biology of prokaryotic cells is strongly encouraged.

Excellent illustration, very informative. Lecturio is a life saver, I love it ?
sooooo sooo good!!! i understoof everything and is amazing that he included everything important about this bacteria! great teacher!
So useful, and yes the sound is on! It would be nice if you went deeper into the diagnosis
I call him the "Bacteria man". One of the best !! His level of knowledge in the course is spectacular. Great !! I don't dislike anything about him I will recommend to my colleagues medical students
well explained lectures well explained lectures well explained lectures well explained lectures
Exellent lecture. Thank for teaching me. Enjoy teaching you are best.
It is clear and well organized so that I could learn the subjects which seemed complicated when the lecturer presented them in university. It also made me interested in microbiology which I didn't even like to learn it. Thank you
Great lecture, very allegoric, nice and easy to understand. Great didactics and methodology.
best teacher in the world. such a good summary . thank you
I loved it good explanation . will think of definetly subscribiing . straight to the point
I dont understand the neg review. This is such a good lecture covering the key points. I found it very helpful
The lecture is organized and precise. I would recommend it others. Moreover, it's less time consuming and as I said highlights what material is needed.
The most fun I had learning about bacteria. That Italian New Yorker accent is everything! His E. coli lectures are the reason I passed my midterm and can totally discuss anything E. coli like a pro. So happy I discovered him and will definitely come back for more.
This is a very clarifying lecture on Listeria, taught by a professor with very good teaching skills. And kinda funny.
Nice and comprehensive overview! Easy to understand/listen! Bacteria made easy.
Perfect... I undarstant many things here... Nice explanation Wish best for you
Brilliant course. It has a great differential diagnostics and an overall content is really good.
not enough details, like the fast staph. is Catalase-positive and non motile . more details needed.
I LOVE THIS DOCTOR , he make the lecture more absorbable
I really appreciate because it helped me a lot to grab such a complicated topic in a simple or decent way.i can't explain.eventually I loved to learn subjects in this manner
I choose this rate because Dr Vincent deserve it. I really really like it. Definitely I will recommend to other students.
The lecture were so concise and upto the point. The questions following each video were very helpful in remembering the key facts.
no sound on the video. no sound on the video.
Clear, structured information. Up to date and well done! I would recommend this lecture.
I think I choose this because is very understanding the classes and the Dr is very practical

I thought the introductory lectures were to indroductory and to much of a waste of time. I felt they introductory lecture were a insult to a medical students education level. I almost turned them off and went on to another section but, much later the same professor started to increase the level of knowledge in each video. This is the reason I am giving four stars. Please revise the introductory lectures in microbiology. A USMLE student does not have time to waste. I'm not done with the lectures on microbiology so I'd also like to comment later and here I feel I have been very generous with my review.
I like it very much but the only issue is that the lectures are not complete about all the bacterial species of myobacteria for example, and I'd love to study all of them with lecturio cause it's simple and easy to understand so that I don't have to study the unavailable topics on other websites
Very well explained and fascinating lecture! Thank you very much!
I got to say, i love Racaniello's videos on microbiology so far. But this series of the enteric bacteria is confusing and disorganised. Some of the slides provided are different from the ones used by him. Sometimes the script adds some erroneous information, making the already confusing explanation even worse.
Thank you!!! All your lectures are very interesting and with nice explanations!
Thank you for your interesting, useful and simple way do explain difficult things!
I like this cause of a simply explaining things, and I would like to recommend it for nurses and also doctors.
Really well explained. it was simple and concise but informative.
Good explaination, Love it! Easy to Understand, Keep it up!
Simple and easy going explaination! easy for me to understand. Keep it Up!
Very interesting and engaging. The energy from Dr. Racaniello is absolutely contagious, thank you very much!
I like how much simple he makes the tough materials in pharmacology course
This lecture is very informative yet concise. Everything that you need to know is here. Thank you
So nice and well explained with great doctors ???? they make the impossible possible
I really liked all the lectures They are to the point
Covered all high yield points , very nice illustration which helps in remembering things better
I found these lectures very interesting and very useful! Congratulations to the ability of communication of the teacher.
Really liking the microbio bacteria videos. Feel like the presentation of the info is well done and really easy to grasp in such a short amount of time.
This video is precise and concise, thanks a lot, I found this series to be incredibly helpful
Extremely informative and engaging. Amazing lecturer! Thank you! You make concepts so clear, and provide real-life scenarios for the diseases caused by the microbes. Humourous in some places, which makes the content easy to remember.
It could be improved with more bacteria (ex: for Neisseria there's only Meningitidis and not Gonorrheae, that's is treating in the Sexual Transmitted Infections just as a clinical approach)
I like that professor tells very interesting and useful information. Helps to review.
The video lectures helped me organize the information I already knew and filled the gaps in between. I appreciated how Dr. Wilson was concise and straight to the point with his lectures.
Really great videos. Extremely helpful, though on our curriculum we are required to know basic lab diagnosis of the common bacteria and identify their culture in lab practical exams it would have been helpful if that area had a section as well.
The issues are almost complete and notes are abvious and are basic and pretty fluent lectures
Clear explanation, most of the time very detailed and easy to understand
It's explained in a very understandable way and slow for non native speackers
I like Lecturio very much because the videos are simple, short, and hit the high notes. I got a A (first and only one to score a A) on my first exam in microbiology where the majority of the students got 60% and under.
This lecture really helped me a lot, it’s so well explained and dynamic that makes it easier to understand. Thank you doctor.
The lecturer touched on all of the most important points with clarity and conciseness.
He is energetic and I like that very much about him.
It would be nice to have an extra chapter o add a lab identification for bacterias. Like techniques to identify them. Oxidase positive o catalase negative like so. Also is very useful in enterobactereceaa microorganisms to add the biochemistry scale o battery examples like TSI LIA MIO Citrate Urea. I’m from Chile and i am in formation to become a laboratory Medical technologist
Excellent ! All the lectures of Dr. Sean Elliot are amazing ! A+++
Faltan aspectos microbiologicos como factores de virulencia y patogenia, pruebas de laboratorio, y enfermedades que produce.
The professor's way of teaching precisely saying his clear and neat approach to the lectures is what makes them great.
well most know that shigella destroys gis mucosa...but the pathophysiology is now clear...thanx lecturio
This set of lectures on Staph were very generalized and did not cover the other Staph bacteria commonly seen on STEP 1 (i.e. saprophyticus and epidermidis). This seems to be a common theme of not going deep enough to cover material necessary for STEP, yet advertising that you all cover enough material for STEP 1.
The material taught seemed to comprise of only 10% of what we need to know for USMLE. Various bacteria ranging from gram positive cocci all the way to mycobacteria were all missing. And even with the bacteria taught ( streptococci, staphyloccci , vibrio , e.coli , shigella, salmonella) lacked a tremendous amount of depth. Very disappointing that I paid for this. Hoping virology lectures will be better.
it's very clear course with direct points and simple explanations.Also the notes and slides are well done.
Mr Racaniello presents all of the material very well and I believe that he is an excellent lecturer. However, there are many important types of bacteria missing from this course. Pseudomonas, Treponema Pallidum, zoonoses, Clostridium, Tetanus, Helicobacter Pylori, Neisseria, Bordetella, etc. USMLEs step 1 go into great detail regarding many of these bacteria that were omitted from this course.
So many sub topics are missing. Please add new lectures to cover those topics. Bacteriology portion is incomplete
yes, very good! Very rethorical and good lecture. I love lecturio
Nice one, well described, nice talker, I enjoyed a lot. Keep it up!
Me encanta, todo bien conciso, de manera muy explicada y digerible de combrender
I think that this course is a incredible tool for medical students. I belive that it's important the Microbiology for doctors and it's great that we have access at it's information
I would love to give a higher rating but many important pathogens are not covered
5/5 because of the simplified explanation of the human microbiome. I like the approach used because it sets the stage for acquiring important high yield information later into the subject.
that was a simple and accurate description i liked it very much
This course was informative and professional. I look forward to learning more!
Very calming, understandable, and professor knows what information is right to share
A very good lecturer of Microbiology. Thank you and I am looking forward in learning more.
I liked how strep was broken down between group A and group B but the video didn't mention the different types of strep in each group ie s. pyogenes. The quiz asked about catalases but didn't mention it in the video.
I'm a foreign medial MD internal medicine specialist and I came to us I just felt lost but when I find this tools my life just changed! I already suggest This to other physicians here in USA. I hope I can pass all the usmle steps I will let you know guys!
short and sweet concepts. nice tables. easy to understand. thank you.
Very good presentations, accurate and to the point lectures. Love to study with you!!!
The professor makes the subject matter interesting and understandable for the layperson.
very bad .. they dont have mycobacterium.. dont purchase the subscription .. these people have fooled us. they dont have anything on mycobacterium tuberculosis
I love how all these complicated defenitions and ininformation is explained in such a pedagogical way. Many thanks!
MBBS student cant get benefit from this lecture. The clear concept needed for a future Doctor about Microbiology.
he talks very clearly, coherent, easy to follow, i read only the free sections was so nice and clear.
Sometimes the lecturer reads some information without explaining what is meant by it. If you can improve that I would be glad.
Doctor Racaniello gives us great explanations about the different topics of bacterial biology. One of the things that I appreciate the most from his lectures, is the appropiate speed and use of clear language which facilitates the understanding for foreign students such as myself.
Amazing stuff but doesnt differ the exotoxins into the four forms of them.
I liked the lecture it gave me a brief idea of the concept
I think each lecture is great, but the contents are not enough for USMLE. More precisely, the contents of general principle parts are helpful, but those of detailed exposition parts should be improved to contain more information. For example, You need to provide us for more details about many types of bacteria. The number of kinds of bacteria addressed in this course is small. It's far from enough for USMLE step 1. The same same goes for viruses. The others are favorable.
Very precise and concise, highly recommended to all my friends and colleagues
I had no background in microbiology and this lecture helped me a lot with closing the gap. Thank you
Dr Racaniello, is good. Easy to understand, good content. This course is hitting all topics in my med school course.
Dr. Racaniello is a very good professor. He takes all his time to ensure that his students understand the concepts of the topics. All his feedbacks and examples are very relevant.
He is a very good lecturer and great facilitator of microbiology.
Perfect, easy to follow and understand. I would be appreciated if there are more topics about treatment.
The clarity of the information being delivered is extremely satisfactory! I enjoyed watching this lecture.
Lecture was well organized and covered the appropriate level for this topic.
Very good course!!
