Antibiotic Sensitivity lab A. Define the term selectively toxic. Why is it an important feature of antimicrobial agents? Selective toxicity is the ability of a chemical or drug to kill a microorganism without harming its host. Selective toxicity is important to microbial agents because it enables these agents to inhibit or kill a microorganism by interacting with microbial functions or structures different from those of the host thereby showing little or no effect to the host. B. What

Nutritional requirements The composition of medium for the tissue culture is the most important key factor in the successful culture of plant cells. The medium should be accurately defined of inorganic and organic chemical additives so as to provide i) the nutrients for the survival of the plant cells‚ tissues and organs under culture and ii) the optimal physical condition of pH‚ osmotic pressure‚ etc. In the culture of plant cells formulating optimum type of medium favorable for in vitro

(The Mayo Clinic). Although the active bacteria are gram-positive‚ the spores are gram-negative (Horridge‚ et al). Culture of c-diff is performed at normal human body temp‚ on a blood agar (Nadan). After 48 hours of incubation‚ isolates resembling C. diff are anaerobically subcultured on a fastidious anaerobe agar. After the final culture‚ colonies are checked for florescence‚ and gram stained. Once gram-staining is complete‚ colonies are placed in broth‚ and given a final 48 hours to produce toxins

which is the procedure recommended by the US Food and Drug Administration‚ was devised by William Kirby and A.W. Bauer in 1966. In the current protocols involved in the Kirby-Bauer method‚ Mueller-Hinton standard agar is used as the medium for bacterial culture. The pH of the standard agar is 7.2 to 7.4 and it is poured exclusively to a depth of 4 mm. The medium is heavily inoculated with bacteria and paper disks containing enough of the antibiotic under study to create an optical density of 1 (the

In the experiment‚ the method used is well diffusion method‚ which used different type of condiments and added into holes of agar‚ where by the inhibition zone by the condiments could be observed. The larger the inhibition zone‚ the more effective the condiment was in inhibiting the growth of microorganisms. 1.2 Objectives By conducting
