Misuse of antibiotics is one major cause of the global health crisis of antibiotic resistance. Misuse or overuse can make supposedly harmful bacteria become “superbugs‚” which are highly resistant to nearly all classes of antibacterial compounds. To determine the culprits‚ researchers at the Carolinas HealthCare System in North Carolina conducted a study to find the factors that led to the misuse of antibiotics. Alexander Fleming invented the first antibiotic for humans called penicillin in 1928

The Effects of Antibiotics on Bacterial Growth Biology II 1996 Bacteria are the most common and ancient microorganisms on earth. Most bacteria are microscopic‚ measuring 1 micron in length. However‚ colonies of bacteria grown in a laboratory petri dish can be seen with the unaided eye. There are many divisions and classifications of bacteria that assist in identifying them. The first two types of bacteria are archaebacteria and eubacteria. Both groups have common ancestors dating to more

Escherichia coli Microbiology Lab NAS 185-14L Introduction In this lab experiment we did several test to determine what our unknown bacteria was. To determine this we recorded the results of how the bacteria reacted to different media. Depending on the results of each test we could narrow down the different bacteria to determine what our unknown is. This experiment will also determine if our bacteria is a fermenter of sugars and if it is catalase positive. If the bacteria is

Also knowledge of different bacteria helped others make antibiotics used today. This lab was completed by using the methods learned thus far in identification of bacteria. Materials and Methods A mixed culture of two unknown bacteria was provided by the instructor. The methods used for identification of

There are several types of staining through which the bacteria can be identified based on the color and shape. The staining methods used in the lab are Gram Staining‚ Capsule Staining‚ Endospore Staining‚ and Acid Fast staining. One of the most significant method of
