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
