NAME: PRAJWAL BHARADWAJ Ampicillin‚ Vancomycin‚ and Tetracycline Effectiveness on Gram Positive and Gram Negative Bacteria. INTRODUCTION: Bacteria are microbial organisms which are present in various environments. Many bacteria are good and help humans synthesize materials and assist in biological processes‚ such as digestion. However‚ some bacteria can cause harmful diseases. When harmful bacteria infects the body‚ people take antibiotics in order to suppress bacteria. Different antibiotics have

because they provide accurate data. 2. Through this letter I would like to present my opinion regarding Grams staining method and reliability of this method. According to me‚ Grams staining process is a simple technique that assists in recognition of etiological agent and therefore can be called as one of the most significant staining practices in microbiology. Though‚ Gram is concerned that the staining process developed by him is imperfect because not all bacteria can be stained by it

Margaret E Gibson July 20‚ 2009 Microbiology Dr. Metera Lab Report 3: Labs 7 and 8- Metabolism and Biochemical Tests Abstract This experiment focused on metabolism and biochemical tests. The goal of performing these tests was to differentiate microbes from one another and to compare how metabolic and biochemical processes differ from species to species. The tests performed include: the Fermentation of Sugars Test (sucrose‚ glucose‚ and lactose)‚ the Urease Test‚ the Fermentation

Gram Stain: Gram is an empirical method to distinguish the species of bacteria into two groups Gram-positive and Gram-negative based on the physicochemical properties of the cells. First‚ a smear was prepared by use a sterile transfer loop that been flamed to removes some bacteria from slant agar and placed on the slide; mixed with one drop of water and let air dried. After dried‚ heat fixation the slide by passed the slide over a flame quickly 2-3 times to stick bacteria to the slide. Next‚ the

To detect your gram positive from the mixed culture was given as extra credit points also. A Gram stain was performed and isolation streak plate in order to isolate and observe the unknown organism. Before the series of test‚ a dichotomous key had to be written up in order to know what steps and tests to run to identify the unknown Gram negative organism. I had to

Part B: Gram Stain Preparation: Watch the following video: The Gram Stain (4:15 minutes) Procedure: Include the answers to the questions below in your lab report. Lab Questions: This procedure is used to separate what two types of bacteria? This separation is based on differences in what physical trait? What is the iodine used for in this staining technique? Why is it important to heat fix the bacteria prior to the staining procedure? If you had a bacteria sample that you knew to be gram positive

The purpose of this lab is to isolate a bacterial population from the normal throat flora. A streak plate method will be used to obtain a pure culture of a Gram positive coccus genus of bacteria. Several biochemical tests will be performed to aid in the identification of this unknown bacterium. Biochemical tests are a series of tests used to identify certain bacterium The various tests that are used in this lab are the catalase test‚ oxidase test‚ blood hemolytic test‚ MSA‚ blood agar‚ and PEA/ab

Gram Staining Introduction Prokaryotes are a large group of organisms with no membrane bound organelles. They consist of two domains: Archaea and Bacteria. These organisms are only found in extreme environments such as volcanoes. Prokaryotes are still being researched and are a very diverse group. In this lab we focused on trying to identify if the bacteria found had a lot of peptidoglycan by gram staining. Testing this could be done by using a Petri dish full of agar and testing different bacteria
