THE EFFECT OF INCREASING THE CONCENTRATION OF DETTOL ANTISEPTIC LIQUID ON THE GROWTH OF E.COLI Background: Escherichia coli are rod shaped‚ gram negative bacteria often found in the gut of humans and other warm-blooded mammals (Jacques & Ngo‚ 2004). It is transmitted primarily through faecal contaminated food and water. Most strains of E. coli are not harmful to humans‚ however some strains are pathogenic and can cause symptoms including diarrhoea (Unknown‚ 2012). The active ingredient in Dettol

INTRODUCTION * Dettol was first used in leading UK maternity hospital in the early 1930s. Shortly thereafter‚ in 1933‚ with the endorsement of medical profession‚ Dettol was launched to the general public. * Dettol is a brand of Reckitt Benckiser and has stood for its trusted production in India since 1930. * The brand is endorsed by the Indian Medical Association and has been voted among India ’s Most Trusted Brand in recent years. * Reckitt Benckiser (India) Limited‚ formerly

Growth Dynamics of E. coli in Varying Concentrations of Nutrient Broths‚ pH‚ and in the Presence of an Antibiotic Dvora Szego‚ Elysia Preston Darcy Kmiotek‚ Brian Libby Department of Biology Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Troy‚ NY 12180 Abstract The purpose in this experiment of growth dynamics of E. coli in varying media was to determine which media produces the maximum number of cells per unit time. First a control was established for E. coli in a 1.0x nutrient broth. This was used to compare

accumulate data on the growth of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and to monitor how it grows under certain conditions. It has been demonstrated that the levels of glucose and dissolved oxygen were found to affect the rate of growth of E. coli proportionally with a lack of oxygen resulting in the lowering of the pH. In this experiment the growth of E. coli was studied at constant temperature (37 0C) at which it grows ideally. Experimental results for the growth of Escherichia coli showed good agreement

proteins that are capable of deactivating or exporting the antibiotic (Liu‚ 2012). Over time the bacteria E. coli became resistant to the antibiotics‚ and once resistant then the medicine (penicillin) has no effect (Doughari 2012). The purpose of the experiment is to understand the processes by which genes can be inserted into plasmids‚ also to gain some experience in cloning genes via E. coli‚ lastly to understand the medicinal and other implications of gene transfer among organisms (Hoot‚ Wimpee

E. coli Escherichia coli‚ more commonly known as E. coli‚ are a large group of bacteria. It lives in the digestive tracts of humans and also animals. There are many different types‚ such as enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) which causes bloody diarrhea. Some types cause urinary tract infections. One other specific type that is real common is called E. coli O157:H7. This type can cause severe anemia‚ kidney failure‚ or even death. The way you contract E. coli is coming into contact with feces from

The effects of black tea on the growth of E. coli bacteria cultures Kierstin Barker‚ Melissa Bischak‚ Jackie Tyszkiewicz‚ Errin Enany September 25‚ 2012 Abstract: This study was carried out in order to investigate whether black tea has antimicrobial properties as stated in Steven Johnson’s The Ghost Map. If tea does have antimicrobial properties‚ then it could aid in warding off waterborne diseases. We believed that if black tea is steeped in boiled water‚ then the amount of bacteria exposed

This experiment tested the growth of E.coli with inserted plasmid on an agar plate with Ampicillin. One colony of E.coli resistant to Ampicillin was grown during this experiment. The overall goal of the experiment was to successfully grow E.coli on the agar plate‚ which would show that the plasmid had been effectively inserted into the bacteria’s genes. This experiment helped students understand how plasmids were inserted into bacteria and used in real life situations. It also showed how the bacteria’s
