method. The experiment tested the effectiveness of reducing microorganism (bacteria) with the use of various hand soaps. b. Hypothesis: If the Harris Teeter Foaming Hand Soap is more effective in reducing bacterial growth than the Soft Soap hand soap‚ then there will be less bacterial/microorganism growth present on the agar plate for the Harris Teeter Foaming hand soap. II. Materials and Methods c. Obtain 3 agar plates and 2 different brands of hand soap. Label each agar plate and

Weren’t anti-microbial agents considered safe for humans to use and not suppose to be harmful in nature? In recent studies‚ triclosan‚ an antibacterial compound is shown to be a harmful agent to humans rather than being helpful in keeping bacterial illnesses away. Presently‚ antimicrobials agents triclosan and triclocarban are examples of widely used antimicrobials agents in personal care products in United States and many other countries worldwide1. Triclosan is a 2‚4‚4- tricholoro-2-hydroxydiphenyl

The spot inoculation method was followed for antifungal activity of bacterial strain Paenibacillus elgii TS33 25. The nutrient agar medium was prepared‚ sterilized at 121ºC‚ poured into the sterilized peteriplates and allowed to solidify under aseptic conditions. After solidification bacterial strain Paenibacillus elgii TS33 was spot inoculated on nutrient agar medium and incubated at 37ºC for 48 hours. After incubation the molten potato dextrose agar medium containing the spores of test fungus‚

In the first experiment‚ the bacteria R. fascians and R. corynebacterioides grew equally well in all conditions of light‚ except ultraviolet light. We tested this by comparing the petri dishes to the petri dishes that grew without light. Here‚ the exposure time was constant for all the lights and no light‚ which is 48 hours. The light sources were different. However‚ none of the lights had an effect on the bacteria‚ for the bacteria just continued to grow normally. The only exception was that UV

DNA into its genome‚ bacterial transformation has occurred. In this experiment bacterial transformation will be done using calcium chloride/heat shock. This is done by incorporating the plasmids into chemically competent cells that were made permeable by the calcium chloride solution and heat shock. In 1928‚ Frederick Griffith‚ a physician from London‚ was he first person to experiment with bacterial transformation. He permanently transformed a safe‚ nonpathogenic bacterial strain of pneumococcus

disease that can strike in the blink of an eye. The disease can be either bacterial or viral. But today‚ I will focus my efforts on a rather known disease called bacterial meningitis. Let me jump right in! Meningitis is inflammation of the meninges caused by a bacteria or virus. It is extremely important to know whether the disease is viral or bacterial‚ because‚ bacterial meningitis is more severe than viral meningitis. Bacterial meningitis can affect all age groups such as newborns‚ infants and children

paper is to explore the different types of antimicrobial agents and the differences between viral and bacterial infections. Antimicrobial Agent Categories There are several antimicrobial agents to treat infections. Beta-lactams are the types ending in “illin” and those beginning with “ceph” or “cef” such as penicillin and the cephalosporin. The mechanism of action is the inhibition of bacterial cell growth by interference with cell wall synthesis‚ which bind to and inactivate the penicillin-binding
