can differentiate the different species. Looking at these bacterium underneath the microscope is an important step to determine which kind of species it is. All cocci bacteria are not gram positive‚ but this lab will examine only this kind because of their influence in human health. Staphylococcus Aureus is a gram-positive coccus bacterium found in humans. It is frequently found on the mucus membrane in the nasal cavity and on the skin. It also infects many people in the hospital‚ also called a

Exercise 8-B Differential Staining Gram Staining and Acid Fast Staining Introduction: Differential Staining‚ one which facilitates differentiation of various elements in a specimen is a general term that can refer to a number of specific processes. Using multiple stains can better differentiate between different microorganisms or cellular components of a single organism. Gram’s Stain is a widely used method of staining bacteria as an aid to their identification. It was originally devised by Hans

Differentiations and characterizations of various isolates were based on biochemical reactions and gram-staining technique. Frozen mackerel fish (Scomber scombrus) was used for the study. Invitro assay result revealed that the samples were predominantly contaminated by three bacteria species viz: Staphylococcus aureus‚ Escherichia coli and Lactobacillus plantarum

Many other organisms are involved of particular importance are beta-lactamase producing organisms like Staphylococcus aureus‚ Moraxella catarrhalis‚ and Hemophilus influenza. In polymicrobial infections beta-lactamase producing organisms can protect GAS from eradication with penicillins.

I. INTRODUCTION Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lung parenchyma caused by various microorganisms‚ including bacteria‚ mycobacteria‚ fungi‚ and viruses. Pneumonias are classified as community- acquired pneumonia (CAP)‚ hospital-acquired (nosocomial) pneumonia (HAP)‚ pneumonia in the immunocompromised host‚ and aspiration pneumonia. There is overlap in how specific pneumonias are classified‚ because they may occur in differing settings. Those at risk for pneumonia often have chronic underlying
