    A mixed culture of two unknown bacteria was provided by the instructor. The methods used for identification of the two unknown bacteria were in the laboratory manual by Dr. Floyd and Dr. Kennedy (1) unless otherwise noted. The first step that was used was a three streak method, described in Lab 4, on a Blood Heart Infused/Trypticase Soy Agar plate to isolate the two unknown bacteria. Once the two bacteria were incubated, grown, and isolated they were each individually streaked on a Trypticase Soy Agar plate to isolate individual colonies to be studied, tested and identified. After incubation of the individual TSA plates, the morphologies were viewed and noted and a Gram stain was completed on each individual bacterium, which will be referred to as Bacteria #1 and Bacteria #2. After the Gram reaction was determined on Bacteria #1 and Bacteria #2, different biochemical tests were done according to the dichotomous keys provided in the lab manual. All the tests were performed by the methods outlined in the lab manual by Dr. Floyd and Dr. Kennedy (1). Table 1 and Table 2 list the tests performed, purpose, and results. Also Flow Chart 1 and Flow Chart 2 will show the results.…

    Materials and Methods: A stock culture, labelled 25, was stored at room temperature (in the lab desk). A transfer loop was sterilized and a sample of the stock was transmitted to a tube of sterile BHI broth (for a working culture) and also to an agar plate and incubated for 24 hours. From the incubated plate, distinct and well isolated waxy, yellowish colonies appeared. Another sample was applied to a glass slide, heat fixed and a Gram stain test was performed. From the list of several possible choices for the unknowns, about half are eliminated. Table 1 indicates the tests that were performed on the unknown sample, all materials required for each test, as well as factors determining a positive or negative result.…

    First the shape and color of the microbe was noted. This is done to know the morphology of the microbe. After concluding that the microbe was Gram negative rods, it was inoculated into a previously prepared test tube. Then various tests were performed to isolate and identify the unknown microbe. Table 1 shows the tests, purpose, reagents and results of the various tests performed. Each test was performed according to the index of the Virtual Unknown software and the following tests were performed:…

    A stock broth culture of the two unknown species #72 was obtained. Two streaks were performed using loops of the stock broth on a fresh dish of nutrient agar and incubated for 48 hours @ 32C and @ 25C. There was separate colony growth that where two different colors one red and one yellow on the streak plate incubated @ 25C. Two slants where made with each colony growth and incubated for 48 hours @ 25C. A Gram stain was then carried out to differentiate the unknown samples. The Gram stain produced satisfactory results with a clear indication that the yellow species was Gram positive and the red species was Gram negative. The Gram stain was conducted to reveal…

    Introduction The purpose of this project was to detect which organism we had in our unknown mixed culture tube by running a series of experiments to detect which specific Gram negative organism we had. To detect your gram positive from the mixed culture was given as extra credit points also. A Gram stain was performed and isolation streak plate in order to isolate and observe the unknown organism. Before the series of test, a dichotomous key had to be written up in order to know what steps and tests to run to identify the unknown Gram negative organism.…

    Mastitis, the most common cause is Staphylococcus aureus. Mastitis is usually followed by swelling and redness of the cow’s udder. Testing for this you would use a strip cup test to see if the bacterium is present. You then take the result for this and see how bad the bacterium is, so then you would be able to carry out more investigations and be able to find out control methods. These methods would be hygiene and regularly cleaning the milking machines.…

    The objective here is to reduce meat contamination by establishing a Microbial lab within each meat factory in United States. This method will allow us to test animal intestine to see if they are contaminated by bacteria. Bacteria can be difficult to sample and analyze, for many reasons. Natural bacteria levels in streams can vary significantly; bacteria conditions are strongly correlated with rainfall, and thus comparing wet and dry weather bacteria data can be a problem; many analytical methods have a low level of precision yet can be quite complex; and absolutely sterile conditions are required to collect and handle samples.…

    The chapter 1 deals with the introduction of zoonotic diseases caused by Leptospira and Brucella and their global incidence. Leptospira is ubiquitous in nature affecting both man and animals, while Brucellosis is a neglected, reemerging, zoonotic, endemic and communicable disease. Epidemiologically, the risk groups will vary according to the climatic conditions thereby can cause epidemics as well as endemics. They are transmitted to the humans when they come in contact with the urine of the infected animals or a urine-polluted environment. Being an occupational disease, it is commonly seen among the veterinarians, abattoir workers, farmers, butchers, hunters, rodent control workers, and other various…
