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

Different kinds of liquids stain your teeth differently. For example tea stains your teeth more than milk does. I’m doing this experiment because I think it is very interesting that there are so many different kinds of liquid that can stain your teeth. What things stain your teeth? To start with you should never start smoking or use tobacco. The nicotine and tar in the cigarettes stain your teeth very drastically. You can’t even imagine how fast smoking stains your teeth. Other things that stain

Session #1 Lab 1 OBSERVING BACTERIA AND BLOOD D Haynes BIO-218A Microbiology Lab Friday‚ January 17‚ 5:00pm Objective(s): Our objective is to gain knowledge of the functions and operations of the microscope through observation of bacteria and blood slides that are available for this assignment. We are also learning to “see” and observe various bacteria and their shapes as well as live yogurt cultures‚ blood‚ plaque and cheek swab samples and their arrangements. We

learned so far in the microbiology laboratory class for the identification of unknown bacteria. The identification process can be completed with a series of deferential stains and biochemical tests. Creating a dichotomous key helps to limit the amount of biochemical tests done on an unknown organism and by observation and recording of data the unknown organism can be found. Materials and Methods The procedure for all tests performed was taken from Leboffe and Pierce’s Microbiology: Laboratory Theory

Lab Report #1: Observing Bacteria Microbiology Abstract: This lab exercise familiarized the student with the use of a microscope by observing and identifying various different slides under the microscope. The student practiced observing the given slides under the 10x‚ 40x‚ and 100x (oil immersion) objective lenses‚ which allowed for the identification of the different organism’s shapes and sizes. Purpose: The aim of this exercise is to equip the student with the knowledge

Glowing Transformations Abstract In this experiment‚ the idea is to become familiar with the transformation of cells. A well thought out procedure‚ involving a heat shock procedure‚ a good antibiotic‚ an inducer known as arabinose to show the newly expressed DNA by a visible fluorescent glow‚ and a stable control group is what contributes to this experiments thoroughness. It is predicted that the four agar plates will all yield different forms of growth‚ with different coloration and colony

1. A functional cell could be built with a single chromosome‚cytoplasm‚a cell membrane‚ and ribosomes.Why are these four components absolutely necessary to the functional cell? If these structures are all a cell needs‚ why do most cells have many more structures? A chromosome is necessary so that there is a “map” of the cells function and structure‚ cytoplasm is necessary as it is where most of the cell’s activity occurs‚ ribosomes are essential as they are the site of protein synthesis‚ which

Microbiology case study Spring 2009 Case Study On July 14th‚ a 26 year-old man developed severe nausea and bloody emesis. At a local hospital emergency room‚ he was treated with IV fluids and antiemetic medication and admitted for further observation. That evening he became disoriented‚ combative‚ and had difficulty breathing. On July 16th‚ he became hypotensive and hypoxic and was transferred to a specialty care facility for ventilator support. Examination revealed a temperature of 104
