An Example Of Selective Against Gram Negative Bacteria
how it works.
Selective is the killing or selecting against a specific type of bacteria, by allowing another to grow. You can select for or against. An example of a selective ingredient that was used in lad was in the mannitol agar plate. The 5% table salt or NaCl was used to selective against gram negative bacteria by causing them to die and selective for gram positive bacteria by allowing them to grow to the fullest.

    Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the bacteria of my initial unknown project. Determining which bacteria I had was completed by many steps. The one fact that I had, was that it was a gram negative bacteria because on the gram stain it appeared pink. Its cell wall is composed of a plasma membrane, periplasmic space, peptidoglycan and an outer membrane (lipopolysaccharide and protein). By looking at the agar plate it was easy to tell that it was not a swarmer and it did not have any colony pigment. It appeared as a circular, raised, undulated bacterium. The arrangement of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is rod shaped. Multiple biochemical tests can be performed to determine if gram positive or negative. See Table below:…

    In the article “new ways to squash superbugs” by Christopher T. Walsh and Michael A. Fischbach, scientist are trying to find new antibiotics to kill off the so-called superbugs spreading around. The article starts off by expressing the valid point of the spreading of harmful diseases. A 12-year-old boy named Omar Rivera, from Brooklyn, died after getting infected by a disease. This disease was Methicillian Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus, otherwise known as MRSA. This bacterium is resistant to one of the most potent drug classes in the current antibiotic arsenal. Because of these dangerous bacteria’s developing resistance to antibiotics, it puts the risk of mortality higher for all other people affected by dangerous bacteria’s. It is hard for us to discover new drugs as fast as bacteria’s are resting pre-existing ones. Researchers began to search exotic environments for answers that could possibly help them in discovering new antibiotics. They figured out that some of the research gathered targeted single organisms or stopped short of killing them and could possibly stop the cycle of resisting bacteria’s.…

    The Escherichia Coli bacterium was discovered in 1885 by bacteriologist Theodor Escherich. He found the bacteria in the human colon and showed that some strains of Escherichia Coli were responsible for infant diarrhea and gastroenteritis. The Escherichia Coli was originally named Bacterium Coli. The name was changed to honor Theodor Escherich. E coli are normally harmless and are part of the normal flora found in the lower intestines of humans and healthy cattle. Some E. coli serotypes are known to cause serious food poisoning in humans.…
