FACT: Potassium tellurite (K2TeO3) inhibits the growth of gram-negative bacteria and most of the upper respiratory tract normal flora. Oxyanions of tellurium‚ like tellurite (TeO32-)‚ are highly toxic for most eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. Known for its antimicrobial properties‚ potassium tellurite has been used in selective media for the isolation of a number of naturally tellurite-resistant bacterial species such as the C. diphtheriae. These tellurite-resistant bacteria reduce tellurite

The ratio of the With the results obtained accurately‚ calculations were made to find out the following: * The mean of each group’s data * The standard deviation of each group’s data As each trial consist for 5 different sizes of the agar cubes (1cm‚ 1.5cm‚ 2cm‚ 2.5cm and 3cm) and that the trials are repeated 5 times‚ we expect that results will be as follows: * As the size increases‚ it will take a longer time for the pink color (phenolphthalein indicator) to reach the center

designed Rainbow Agar O157 for the isolation and identification of EHEC. In this medium E. coli O157 was characterised by black colonies whereas O113 and some other EHEC strains were mauve‚ red or pink and indistinguishable from other strains of E. coli. Manafi and Kremsmaier (2001) evaluated the efficiency of different media for detecting Escherichia coli O157:H7. They found that SMAC agar had a sensitivity and specificity of 94.1 per cent and 91.6 per cent‚ Fluorocult HC agar

David Kennedy Bio 210 Lab Report 1 10/11/13 Microbial Growth Background Information: This lab was conducted in order to understand basic differences among differential and selective media‚ while recognizing how each media is used to isolate and identify microorganisms (Wistreich‚ 2003). The first microorganism analyzed was Staphylococcus epidermidis. This organism is gram-positive‚ single celled‚ arranged in grape-like clusters‚ and cocci in shape (Bukhari‚ 2004). S. epidermidis is approximately

Case Study Report for Unknown #49 A new school for girls was opened in a larger village in Northern Pakistan‚ and the teachers were proud to have convinced many families in the surrounding villages to allow their daughters a basic education. The school was a success‚ and the 6-10 year olds girls quickly learned how to read and write and were even instructed in the sciences. However‚ 2 weeks before summer break‚ many of the girls and the teacher developed breathing problems that included severe coughing

Day 1 Throughout the semester‚ I have learned multiple techniques for identifying bacteria. Learning how to gram stain‚ use specific media such as MacConkey agar‚ and test antibiotics to see which antibiotic would react best against a specific organism. All these techniques helped me prepare for the final lab‚ identification of an unknown bacterium. For the final lab‚ I received the organism “6A”. To start identifying this organism‚ I did a gram-stain to identify if the organism is gram positive

bacteria Bacillus subtilis did not grow well to see if there was a clearing. After doing some research‚ it was shown that B. subtilis is lipase positive so there should have also been some clear sones like the Staphylococcus aureus (Watson). The DNAse agar could not have been analyzed because HCl was not available to precipitate the DNA to see if the bacterium had the enzyme DNase. If the test could have been analyzed‚ Staphylococcus aureus would be positive for DNase and E. coli would have been negative
