Disinfectant Dish Research Paper

Disinfectant Dish: Once the bacteria is swabbed it will colonize; just like the other two plates. When we add the disinfectant (dish soap) to the largest colony, it will kill the bacteria in that area entirely, engulfing it. The effect will be more noticeable than the antiseptic since it is made to work on inanimate surfaces and does not need to be careful of organic material.

Antiseptic Dish: Once the bacteria is swabbed and has grown on the agar plate it will colonize on the plate, like the other three plates. Once we have a considerable amount of bacteria, the antiseptic (antibacterial hand soap) will be applied to the largest colony and it will kill the bacteria slower than the antibiotic and the disinfectant due to an hypothesized
lower potency since it’s a President’s Choice brand and it’s made for living tissue, so harsh chemicals can’t be used too much.
