drop of 3% KOH (potassium hydroxide) to the leftover of our colony that we chose earlier to see if the mixture becomes viscous and forms a string. We recorded our observation and moved on to incubating our live culture on the EMB-lactose and PEA. Vancomycin wasn’t available to be used. We added our live culture to the EMB-lactose and PEA and added sterile beads to spread the bacterial cells all over the surfaces of the two agars and removed the beads and incubated the two agars. While the agars were

Clostridium difficile is treated with oral Metronidazole or Vancomycin for 10-14 days. Metronidazole is preferred over Vancomycin for the treatment of mild C. difficile infection in children due to its lower cost and comparable effectiveness. Treatment of reactive arthritis depends on disease activity‚ functional status‚ and quality of life of
