This article aims to share teaching practices related to working with the discipline of microbiology in the context of graduation courses in Health Sciences, both in public and private higher education institutions, mediated by methodologies considered significant to build up alumni knowledge and to enrich the currently used methodological approaches in the development of this discipline. The shared experiences are the following: a) to use material supply to support the leading of practical classes that encourage logical thinking and more detailed investigation; b) to use samples from clinical laboratories and hospitals in order to make practical classes more attractive and contextualized with the future labor market; c) examples of extension activities, such as extra class work, that result in academic communication and publishing of scientific papers. Based on these objectives, experiences in micro-biology teaching are described next.
