great way of preventing and eliminating diseases. Diseases have been on the planet as long as people can remember. The Chinese used inoculation techniques as early as 1000 A.D. for smallpox (“Vaccines ProCon.org” 4). Though the Chinese were the first to come upon a form of vaccines‚ there were other countries who had their own forms of vaccines. Other inoculation

Microbiology Lab ReportPractica #1BTC307LAmber AmelingmeierThursday‚ September 18‚ 2008OBJECTIVESIn this lab experiment two different types of bacteria‚ Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus‚ were grown singly and mixed on four different types of agar in order to observe the varying morphologies within the colonies. Resulting data was analyzed to provide understanding of the use of differing culture media and conditions for bacterial growth. RESULTSFour different agar types were used in this

Techniques for Isolation of Pure Cultures Objective : i. To perform the spread plate and the streak plate inoculation procedure for the separation of the cells of a mixed culture so that discrete colonies can be isolated. ii. To prepare a stock culture of an organism using isolates from the mixed cultures prepared on the agar streak-plate and/or the spread plate. Introduction : In order to be able to adequately study and characterize a certain microorganism‚ microbiologists need to separate

In this case a pure culture of an unknown organism was introduced to a sterile medium of Phenol Red Glucose Broth Durham. The culture was obtained from a 52-year old male truck driver who is complaining

Next‚ the tubes were placed in the microtube rack and 250 μl of CaCl2 was transferred into each tube using a sterile pipette. After placing the microtubes in ice‚ a sterile inoculation loop was used to pick up a single colony of bacteria from the E. coli starter plate. Next‚ the +pGlo microtube was removed from the ice and‚ to ensure that the colony was efficiently dispersed into the

ASEPTIC TECHNIQUES AND SOURCES OF MICROBIAL CONTAMINATION. Introduction The spread of infections has come to a point where it has become catastrophic. Aseptic technique is the method used to prevent contamination of infections. It is widely used in hospitals‚ pharmacy‚ and pharmaceutical industries and in laboratories. Different establishments have come up with more ways to improve infection control. In hospitals health care acquired infections are costing the NHS £1 Billion a year and
