than one paragraph. (10 pts) Enterobacter Aerogenes is a member of the Enterobacteriaceae family. This family includes E coli‚ salmonella‚ shigella and klebsiella. Enterobacter aerogenes primarily causes a nosocomial infection‚ which passes from one patient to another. Enterobacter aerogenes is a gram-negative (stains pink with the gram stain) bacteria. It is a small‚ rod-shaped bacteria that grown in smooth‚ round‚ white colonies. Enterobacter aerogenes is a universal bacterium in the environment

cab re tn o E The Genus Enterobacter FRANCINE GRIMONT AND PATRICK A.D. GRIMONT Introduction The genus Enterobacter was first proposed by Hormaeche and Edwards (1960a). However‚ the history of some species now placed in the genus Enterobacter can be traced‚ albeit with some confusion‚ to the end of the 19th century. “Bacillus lactis aerogenes” was isolated by Escherich (1885) from milk and renamed “Bacillus aerogenes” by Kruse (1896) and “Aerobacter aerogenes” by Beijerinck (1900).

Over the course of a couple weeks‚ ten tests were performed. First‚ a gram stain was performed‚ indicating the bacterium was gram negative. An aerotolerance test determined that the bacterium was a facultative anaerobe. Next‚ a negative result in the

Discussion The possible identity of the unknown organisms in the mixed culture was limited to bacteria that we had worked with previously in lab. Initially a Gram stain was conducted in order to distinguish the unknown bacterium as a Gram-positive and/or a Gram-negative organism (Lancaster and Bennett‚ 2012; Kellenberger‚ 2001). Based upon the results‚ both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria were observed in the unknown mixed culture (Table 1 and Table 2; Kellenberger‚ 2001). In order

The melting point range is defined as the span of temperature from the point at which the crystals first begin to liquefy to the point at which the entire sample is liquid. This data can be tabulated experimentally through multiple trials for an unknown and referenced against the chemistry literature for a known compound. In Macroscale and Microscale Organic Experiments‚ 5th ed‚ Williamson notes that most pure organic solids will melt repeatedly over a narrow temperature range of 1°C. As a measure

Name: Danielle Title: Unknown Lab Report Introduction: There are many reasons for identifying an unknown bacterium. The reasons range from medical purposes‚ such as determining if the unknown could cause ailments in living things or knowing what microorganisms are needed to make antibiotics. The experiment was done by applying methods in order to identify an unknown bacterium. An unknown bacterium was handed out by Dr. Honer. The appropriate tests were prepared and applied. The

140 Matthew Tuthill Unknown Lab Report Introduction There are many reasons for knowing the identity of microorganisms. The reasons range from knowing the causative agent of a disease in a patient‚ so as to know how it can be treated‚ to knowing the correct microorganism to be used for making certain foods or antibiotics. This study was done by applying all of the methods that I have been learned so far in the microbiology laboratory class for the identification of an unknown bacterium. The purpose

The study and test was done by applying all of the methods that have been learned so far in the microbiology laboratory class for the identification of an unknown bacterium which I was using unknown #25. Results Unknown #25 had the following morphology on a streak plate: medium sized butyrous cream colored colony. Gram-staining was utilized

Enterobacter cloacae are responsible for various infections such as bacteremia‚ lower respiratory tract infections‚ skin and soft tissue infections‚ urinary tract infections‚ endocarditis‚ intra-abdominal infections‚ septic arthritis. Enterobacter cloacae infections that target the bladder and urinary tract may cause pain or an uncomfortable pressure. Many people suffering from a urinary infection with Enterobacter cloacae complain of a frequent urge to urinate‚ pain or burning while urinating‚ and

Purpose: To identify an unknown bacterial specimen using basic laboratory technique and biochemical tests. The unknown bacteria will be one of the following: Enterococcus faecalis‚ Staphylococcus saprophyticus‚ Escherichia coli‚ Enterobacter aerogenes‚ Proteus vulgaris‚ Salmonella [I assume typhimurium]‚ or Shigella [either flexneri or sonnei‚ we used both in our lab during the semester]. Procedure {and observations}: Observe bacterial colony morphology. {Colonies are large‚ beige or
