The Urea test was used to test both Unknown Gram-positive and Unknown Gram-negative bacteria. One colony of bacteria was used from the Unknown 13A plate and Unknown 13B plate in order to inoculate the Urea Slant. After the slant was inoculated‚ the cultures were placed in an incubator at 35ºC for Gram-positive bacteria‚ and 37ºC for Gram-negative bacteria for a total of 48 hours. If the Urea test were positive‚ the color of the slant would have changed to a hot pink color‚ which indicated the bacteria’s

The patients were split into two groups. 223 patients were in group 1 that received Staphylococcus aureus phages‚ and 117 patients were in group 2 that received antibiotics. In addition‚ 48 patients that were in group 1 received phages by i.v. injection. The results showed that there was no side effects in any of the patients. Moreover‚ recovery

Found in these locals‚ it is generally benign‚ until there is a disruption or injury in the skin that introduces it systemically. (Stoppler‚ Melissa Conrad MD). Staphylococcus can be insidious and potentially life-threatening if left untreated‚ causing sepsis if left to run rampant. A yeast delineated as

most common cause is Staphylococcus aureus. Mastitis is usually followed by swelling and redness of the cow’s udder. Testing for this you would use a strip cup test to see if the bacterium is present. You then take the result for this and see how bad the bacterium is‚ so then you would be able to carry out more investigations and be able to find out control methods. These methods would be hygiene and regularly cleaning the milking machines. 2.0 Introduction Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most
