Microbiology Unknown 5/7/2013 Microbiology Unknown #94 The purpose of this report was to identify an unknown bacterium by applying methods that were previously learned and conducted in microbiology lab class. It is possible to identify a mixed culture by running experiments on the unknown bacteria and taking what we already know and applying it to the results. It helps to slowly eliminate any bacteria that do not correspond with the results of certain tests. An unknown test tube labeled 94 was

What is an antibiotic? Antibiotics are drugs which kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms‚ thereby curing infections in humans‚ animals and sometimes plants. The day to day is the term used to refer to antibacterial which are only indicated for the treatment of bacterial infections‚ there is more than 15 classes of drugs that differ in chemical structure and activity against bacteria. A certain antibiotics may be effective against one or various bacteria. These drugs should not be used

interacting with microbial functions or structures different from those of the host; thereby showing little or no effect to the host. 2. What are broad and narrow spectrum antimicrobials? What are the pros and cons of each? Broad spectrum antibiotics work against many types of organisms such as gram positives‚ gram negatives and anaerobes. The great thing about this is that these are prescribed empirically so that all potential bacteria are covered until the culture results return. The problem

Antibiotic Lab Report By: Sierra Toll Hour: 6 Title: The effects of antibiotics on the growth of Escherichia Coli Problem: How do antibiotics affect the growth of E coli? Hypothesis: If Penicillin is applied to the bacteria‚ then the zone of inhibition will be larger. Background: The purpose of this lab was to see how effective a certain antibiotic is to kill E coli. The lab tested three antibiotics‚ Penicillin‚ Erythromycin‚ and Neomycin. The zone of inhibition‚ which is the amount of space

During World War II‚ penicillin saved a lot of people in Europe. The first person saved by penicillin was a nurse named Anne

SPA Lab 4: CONTRAST SENSITIVITY FUNCTION Ciara Dubose University of Central Oklahoma Abstract The purpose for this experiment is to determine at which spatial frequency does a participant’s visual acuity for a contrast sensitivity function display a peak performance across different sine – wave gratings. The ability to contrast sensitivity is useful in everyday life‚ more than people imagine. These contrast sensitivity functions focus primarily on the participants’ ability to detect accurately
