UNKNOW BACTERIA LAB REPORT UNKNOWN 36 Introduction The purpose of this lab was to identify two unknown bacteria from a mixed culture. The reason for identification of unknown bacteria was to help students recognize different bacteria through different biochemical tests and characteristics. This is important in the medical field because identification of unknown bacteria can help treat a patient by knowing the contributing source of a disease. Also knowledge of different bacteria helped others

Streak the plates for the following organisms: Enterobacter aerogenes‚ Salmonella enterica‚ and Staphylococcus aureus‚ and sterilize the loop after streaking each quadrant. 2. Label a sheep blood agar plate and use a loopful of Enterococcus faecalis to inoculate it. Streak the plate. 3. Repeat step 2 for Streptococcus pyogenes 4. Transfer an A

IDENTIFYING GRAM POSITIVE COCCI As mentioned in Exercise 8‚ “Identifying Gram Negative Rods”‚ identifying bacteria is a common activity in the microbiology lab. Like the game Clue™‚ each time you gather a piece of information to solve the mystery‚ you gather some information that supports some identities and eliminates others from contention. In the lab‚ the process continues as you gather more information until only one microbe remains and all others have been eliminated as possibilities. Thus

The following show expected colony appearances and morphologies (shapes) of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Note characteristics such as edges‚ color‚ and whether the colonies are rough or smooth in texture. For colony appearances of E. coli and S. aureus‚ scientists often describe what they look like on agar. This is not the microscopic view (for example‚ as with a slide) but a “naked eye” view of how the bacterial colonies look while growing on a medium. (This is one type of culture

What is Staph? Staphylococcus aureus is a bacteria that is commonly found on a person’s skin and inside their sensitive mucous lined areas‚ such as the inside of the nose. Usually‚ it is harmless because of the natural protective barriers that the body has. But‚ if the skin has any damage done to it‚ such as a scratch or scrape‚ this bacteria can quickly invade the wound‚ which in turn causes a staph infection. Treating Staphylococcus Infections If the infection is on the surface of the skin‚

On September 3‚ 1928 Fleming noticed a culture plate of Staphylococcus aureus had become contaminated by fungus and the colonies of Staphylococci immediately surrounding the fungus had been destroyed where

INTRODUCTION Cassia fistula Linn. (Leguminosae) is a very common plant and is widely known for its medicinal properties. In the Indian literature‚ this plant has been described to be useful against skin diseases‚ liver troubles‚ tuberculous glands and its use in the treatment of rheumatism‚ hematemesis‚ pruritus‚ leucoderma‚ and diabetes.[1‚2] Besides‚ it has been found to exhibit anti-inflammatory and hypoglycemic activity and widely used as a mild laxative suitable for children and pregnant women
