<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bahnschrift Light SemiCondensed",sans-serif">Although deep knowledge on specific pathogens is not needed,
<u>knowledge of pathogen name and class in which it belongs</u> (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus-bacteria, Molluscum contagiosum-virus, Cryptococcus neoformans-fungus), would assist in being able to correctly identify the answer. Similarly,
<u>knowledge of techniques for identifying pathogens</u> (e.g. special stains) would also facilitate this.
