    Bacterial Morphology Task 11 Lab 2

    A wet mount stain is when a drop of water is placed onto the microscope slide. The water on the slide helps to support the organism and sample. The water fills the space between the cover slip and the slide. This action allows the light from the microscope to pass through the slide and the sample for better visualization of the organisms. A direct stain occurs when a charged color portion of a basic dye like methylene blue combines with the negatively charged portion of and organism allowing the bacterium to become directly stained. In direct staining, the organisms must be fixed by a process such as heat. Fixing the slide prevents the organism form washing off the slide before visualization. This is accomplished by passing a smear of the bacteria through flame. The heat sets the proteins of the organism thus causing the bacteria to attach to the slide. The organism can become damaged from the setting process and the use of heat prior to staining. In indirect staining, the negatively charged colored portion of an acidic dye is repelled by the negatively charged bacterial cell wall. This causes the background to be stained while leaving the organism’s cell wall to remain colorless and unstained.…

    What Are Involved To Determine The Identity Of Unknown Number 34?

    Three tests were performed to determine the identity of unknown number 34, a gram stain, citrate utilization test, and a urease detection test. These tests are explained in detail, and the method of performing the tests is described. The tests showed that the bacterium was gram-negative bacilli that did not utilize citrate, and the ability to hydrolyze urea using urease. These results indicate that the identity of unknown number 34 is Proteus mirabilis.…

    Unknown Bacteria

    E. faecium is a prokaryote that normally grows in groups or chains and is considered to be vancomycin resistant. Although, E. faecium is typically found in the gut of humans and animals it can be an opportunistic pathogen and may cause infection when the immune system has been damaged. Due to their ability to resist a variety of antibiotics and survive on inanimate objects for long periods of time, they have recently been termed an important nosocomial pathogen referred to as a “superbug”. Infections related to E. faecium include urinary tract infections, wound infections, and soft tissue infections. In a patient who has previously damaged cardiac valves E. faecium may lead to endocarditis. Although Enterococci are part of the normal flora in humans and animals there are only a few of its species that cause clinical infections. The most common being Enterococcus faecalis, which accounts for up to 90% of clinical isolates. However the other species, E. faecium, particularly the vancomycin-resistant strain that was once nearly 10%, is beginning to increase in the amount of clinical isolates. This increase may be a result of surgical wounds, intravascular catheter placement, contaminated food, and poorly treated sewage. Considering the fact that E. faecium may be excreted in human, pets, and…
