Introduction This lab is purposed to familiarize basic equipment and techniques used in the study of microorganisms. In addition‚ learn some basic techniques used in identifying prokaryotes and make and view microscope slides of some common prokaryotes. In this lab ‚ I worked two experiments ‚ the first one is cultivation bacteria "colony "‚ and When microorganisms are cultivated in the laboratory‚ a growth environment called a medium is used ‚ this medium should be sterile

evident‚ resulting in prolonged illness and increased mortality. The total problem caused by AMR on medical field in general and healthcare sector in particular is to be seen in coming years. The development of resistance is a natural process in microorganisms‚ and is increased by various factors like use and misuse of antimicrobial agents in humans and animals. The inadequate availability of

Identification and Diagnosis of Unknown Enteric Bacteria in an Infected Patient Using an Enteropluritube Brooke Addario 2/16/2015 BIO 488C - Section J TA – Jacob Karsten Introduction: Enteric bacteria are members of the Enterobacteriaceae family of microorganisms. These gram negative‚ rod shaped‚ facultative anaerobes are found in the intestinal tracts of humans and animals. Enteric bacteria can be pathogenic; however‚ they are also a normal part of human bacterial flora and are therefore found in both

That is why it is so important to be able to identify microorganisms. This study was conducted using techniques and experiments learned in microbiology lab that were used to classify the two unknown bacteria. The two unknown bacteria were presented in a broth culture labeled unknown #15 by Connie and Desiree

Biological Media Meva Tinsley Georgia State University Lab Report 2 Introduction: Biological Media Microorganisms require nutrients and certain environmental conditions in order to thrive. In the lab‚ we use a Biological Media to aid in growth reproduction. Also referred to as a culture medium‚ a Biological Media is a substance used to support the growth of microorganisms. The two types of media most commonly used in Microbiology are selective media and differential media. Selective

helps to save the environment when we use biological organisms instead of pesticides. We can also use genetically modified strains and foods to get much good quality foods. Using biotechnology in processing like checking for the safety of food and to detect the presence of microorganisms is strongly recommended. Biotechnology can be used to increase the self-life of food materials and decrease the rate of spoilage. Using biotechnology for the packaging is also an important use. Using biotechnology for distribution or transportation is the best use we can do to food

Common Causes of Infection Transmission What is Infection? Microbes can lead to an infection only if they have capacity to multiple. Our bodies get infections from pathogenic microorganisms that cannot observe by naked eye such as • Bacteria. These one-cell organisms are accountable for diseases‚ such as urinary tract infections. • Viruses. Is an acellular agent smaller than bacteria consisting mainly of genetic material‚ that can be active in a close environments ranging from the common cold

patients and healthcare workers (to a lesser degree) around the world are in some way influenced by HCAI. According to the World Health Organization (WHO)‚ “HCAI results in prolonged hospital stays‚ long-term disability‚ increased resistance of microorganisms to antimicrobials‚ massive additional costs for health systems‚ high costs for patients and their family‚ and unnecessary deaths” (13). Multiple studies have been done outlining the legitimacy of the HCAI problem. An article published by the New

Streak Plate Isolation for Obtaining Pure Cultures Data Interpretation 1- In order to unsure that you get a pure sample. 2-pure culture: laboratory culture containing a single species of organism. A pure culture is usually derived from a mixed culture (containing many species) by methods that separate the individual cells so that‚ when they multiply‚ each will form an individually distinct colony‚ which may then be used to establish new cultures with the assurance that only one type of organism
