• Stage Two – Cultivation and Examination: The collected samples were transferred into
bacterial growth media and incubated, where students observed the formation of colonies. Each
colony was then described according to its color, shape, texture, and edges.
• Stage Three – Isolation and Microscopic Identification: In the final phase, bacteria were
isolated in pure form and treated with specialized stains, enabling students to examine them
under the microscope and identify their structural characteristics with precision.

This applied activity greatly enhanced students’ scientific curiosity, critical thinking, and
analytical skills, while reinforcing their understanding of microbial diversity and its relevance to
everyday life. It also provided them with essential laboratory skills in microbiology, such as
bacterial isolation, cultivation, and microscopic identification—skills that are fundamental to their
professional development as future pharmacists.

Beyond technical training, the session emphasized the importance of personal hygiene,
environmental cleanliness, and sterilization practices as key principles in safeguarding public
health. By experiencing firsthand the ubiquity of microorganisms in their surroundings, students
gained a deeper appreciation for the vital role pharmacists play in promoting health awareness and
contributing to disease prevention in society.
