A medical microbiology lab performs testing on human samples collected from different body sites. The tests are used to detect and identify any microorganisms capable of causing disease. Knowing of unknown microorganism is important on how this microorganism works and how it is structured‚ means knowing how it can affect humans. The purpose of this study was to identify an unknown bacterium by applying all methods that were previously conducted and learned in the medical microbiology laboratory

The unknown soda ash from experiment 3 was used‚ to determine the weight for each trial we used the equation of (M of HCl) x (18 ml x 105.99) / (10 x 2 x Na2CO3 ). Which was equal to (0.01472 M) x ((18 mL X 105.99)(10 x 2 X 2.428 % )= 0.6 g. To start we had to rinse the beakers‚ electrode and the stirring bar with diluted water. The sample we needed was weighted to the closest 0.1 mg which we got was 0.3 for the first trial. The sample was transferred to a 250 mL beaker and dissolved in 70 mL of

Microbiology is the study of living organisms that are too small to be clearly seen by the unaided eye. The science of Microbiology dates back only to 200 years‚ yet the recent discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA in 3000 year old Egyptian mummy reminds us that microbes have been around for much longer. Infact‚ Bacterial ancestors were the first living things to appear on Earth. The First observations: One of the most important discoveries in the history of Microbiology occurred in 1665

If bacterial meningitis is suspected several tests sound be done before beginning treatment. A blood sample should be taken and a complete blood count (CBC) should be performed and a lumbar puncture should also be performed as soon as possible. Laboratory findings The white blood cell count (WBC) should be 5‚000-10‚000 /mm3. Critical values associated WBC are 30‚000 /mm3. Variables that may increase white blood cell count include: Physical activity and stress‚ final months of pregnancy and/or labor
