the drug. This is very important to microbial agents in that it enables these agents to inhibit a microorganism by interacting with microbial functions or structures different from those of the host; thereby showing little or no effect to the host. 2. What are broad and narrow spectrum antimicrobials? What are the pros and cons of each? Broad spectrum antibiotics work against many types of organisms such as gram positives‚ gram negatives and anaerobes. The great thing about this is that these are

oxygen increases so does the number of fish observed. However‚ when the dissolved oxygen reaches 14 ppm the number of fish decreases to 10. So‚ 6ppm and 14ppm‚ 8ppm and 16ppm‚ and finally 10ppm and 18ppm‚ have a similar number of fish observed. 2. Develop a hypothesis relating to the amount of dissolved oxygen measured in the water sample and the number of fish observed in the body of water. If the amount of dissolved oxygen is increased‚ then the number of fish observed will increase. 3

A copepod species (the predator‚ measured in copepods/m3 of water) feeds on algae (measured in cells/m3 of water) in freshwater lakes.

Bacterial Meningitis is a horribly life shacking disease. Bacterial Meningitis can be a very destructive disease it can leave people with horrible and lasting aftermath if survived but if not it could destroy the brain leaving it black and rotting. Bacterial Meningitis has many symptoms‚ ways of spreading‚ treatments and prevention for this horrible disease‚ and it’s very interesting history and how things about it changed.

Microbiology in the News: Fecal Transplants Zimmer’s article on fecal transplants (2016)‚ discusses how the effectiveness of transporting healthy stool to sick individuals has led to a series of unanswered questions and beliefs. For years scientists were unsuccessful in finding a use for this type of treatment. The breakthrough came about during a trial experiment using the procedure to treat a serious bacterial infection; Clostridium difficile. Clostridium difficile is a bacterium that causes

procedure was repeated using a second NA plate. These plates were labeled as 10-8. So‚ duplicated plate was counted. Steps 1‚2 and 3 was repeated for dilution 10-7 and 10-6 in order. 6 plates was prepared and 2 at each of the dilution 10-8‚ 10-7 and 10-6. The plates were incubated at 32oC for about 2 days. The number of colonies on the plate was counted. Ideally‚ the plate should have over 30-300 colonies‚ more than this is difficult to count because the colonies often overlap‚ fewer than this leads

VIRTUAL REALITY LaRhonda Townsend INF103: Computer Literacy Instructor Booth June 17‚ 2013 Virtual Reality is a mind blowing technology that advances more and more each day. Virtual reality is an artificial environment which is experienced through sensory stimuli (as sights and sounds) provided by a computer and in which one’s actions partially determine what happens in the environment. A general experience includes three-dimensional images that appear to be life-sized from the perspective
