Practical health care specialists undergo training at the Institute

22  08.2024 On August 22, 2024, Maria Aleksandrovna Makhova, Senior Researcher at the Laboratory of Metagenomics and Molecular Indication of Pathogens, PhD in Biology, conducted training for mid-level specialists in the pediatric department of the Kstovskaya Central Regional Hospital on the correct sampling of biological substrates in children for PCR detection of bacterial and viral pathogens of respiratory infections.

The training course was based on the current regulatory documents of the Russian Ministry of Health and Rospotrebnadzor, in particular: SanPiN 3.3686-21; MU 3.1.2 / 4.2 3373-23 "Epidemiological surveillance of community-acquired pneumonia"; MR 3.1.0222-2020 "Molecular diagnostics of infections caused by bacteria of the genus Mycoplasma in children", VMR "Prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19).
