Sampling of Gram-Positive Bacteria and Antibiotic Resistance Resting We thought it would be interesting to find out the different bacteria that grow on things we use on a daily basis and the level of antibiotic resistance that those bacteria have. We chose to swab the toilet seat in the MATC women’s bathroom and the ATM machine in the commons area on campus. We were certain the ATM would be dirtier than the toilet seat since the bathrooms get cleaned every day. The first step we took in testing

infections‚ including diaper rash‚ by using red soils from the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Following inoculation of red soils isolated from geographically separate areas of Jordan‚ Micrococcus luteus and Staphylococcus aureus were rapidly killed. Over the 3-week incubation period‚ the number of specific types of antibiotic-producing bacteria increased‚ and high antimicrobial activity (MIC‚ ∼10 μg/ml) was observed in methanol extracts of the inoculated red soils. Antibiotic-producing microorganisms whose

In fact‚ a human’s body primarily consists of 55% to 78% water (Geri Walton.) Therefore‚ we need water. Life cannot exist without water. While some people prefer drinking bottled water‚ others prefer drinking tap water. In fact‚ controversy has been placed on the quality and safety of drinking bottled water versus drinking

An Introduction to Water Analysis February 1 and February 8 2011 Aim and Objective: The aim of this experiment was to determine the pH level of an unknown HCl solution. While doing so‚ we would also be receiving a good and fundamental understanding of how to use modern lab equipment to determine the chemical and physical properties of water bodies. Method: Make sure safety gear is always on and equipment is always clean. Part 1- Direct Analysis by pH Test Kit We grab a 50ml beaker
