This guide is designed to help students pronounce the names of common bacteria that they may encounter during Phase 1, especially during Block 9.

Simply click on the name of a bacterium to hear its pronunciation.

Your computer will need a sound card, speakers or headphones, and the software to play the WAV (Windows) audio format - e.g. Windows Media Player.
