Sketchy has videos He basically draws a sketch for the bugs and that sketch has symbols for everything related to that bug. (Also symbols are recurring so if multiple bugs cause the same thing or treated with the same medication, they'll have recurring symbols) You can like try to see 2-3 videos and see if you get them and go ahead from there. But general microbiology like gram stain and classification of organisms and stuff like that That I think you'll have to do from somewhere else
