Antibacterial activity of allopathic medicine versus phytomedicine against Enterococcus faecalis: An in-vitro study. Abstract Background: A successful endodontic treatment depends on appropriate instrumentation‚ irrigation‚ decontamination and obturation. Decontamination of root canal plays a crucial role in the success of endodontic treatment. Therefore‚ a suitable medicament is essential which can effectively eliminate bacterial contamination. Aim and objectives: To investigate and compare the

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1. ENTEROCOCCUS FAECALIS AND STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS OUTLINE The Human indigenous micro flora consists of opportunistic pathogens along with other nonpathogenic bacterial strains. Two eloquent members of the category of gram- positive bacteria‚ Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus belong to this category. Being a facultative anaerobe‚ aero tolerant anaerobe respectively‚ both of these organisms inhabited the human body for centuries. Ability to thrive in extreme condition

Bacterial Smears Are Fixed before Staining to? Answer It is important to heat fix the bacterial smear before staining so as to‚ kill the bacteria‚ firmly adhere the smear on to the microscopic slide to prevent washing off during staining‚ and to allow the sample to readily take up the stain. Reference: www2.hendrix.edu What is the purpose of heat- fixing the smear? It helps the cells adhere to the slide so that they can be stained. The purpose of heat fixing is to kill the organisms without

Jennifer Hauss March 4‚ 2015 Bacterial Transformation Lab Report Introduction In this lab‚ the goal was to transform the bacteria e-coli to glow in the dark (or under a black light). Four plates were set up with agar in them for the bacteria to feed on and grow. Changes were then made to the bacteria. One plate was the control plate‚ having only the LB or agar for the bacteria and negative pGLO‚ which is the liquid not containing the plasmid. This is the plate that was compared with the three others

“Fighting Invisible Killers” Scholastic Scope: The Language Arts Magazine January 2014 Edition‚ pages 5-9 Bacteria surround us every day. These little “bugs” are invisible to the eye and most do not harm us. Many are necessary for us to survive‚ like the bacteria in our stomachs and intestines that help us to digest food. But some bacteria are very dangerous to us. Addie Rereich became very sick in May 2011‚ when she was 11 years old. What started as something that her doctors and mother

Bacteria are the most numerous type of microorganism found in the rhizosphere of the soil. They produce secondary metabolites which are capable of producing antibiotic which eventually inhibit or kill bacteria. The rhizosphere region of the soil is a highly favorable habitat for the proliferation‚ activity and metabolism of numerous microorganisms. The magnitude of this area depends on the plant and the size of the roots that the plant possesses. Bacteria are among the microorganisms living in the

Methodology By using aseptic‚ a little cultured bacteria was inoculated on the TSA agar. A quadric streak was making. Inoculation loop was heated and keep it cold for a while before the next quadratic streak. Six agar plates were observed for 24 hour at temperature of 30ºC. Choose one from the dense colony and make a sub-culture on the new agar plate. The step was repeated to get a single colony‚ which is pure colony. a) Sequestration of bacteria from fish organs Methodology Dissecting set

MANIPULATION OF BACTERIA INTRODUCTION: In this experiment that we performed‚ there were many methods that were used to help us manipulate and identify the bacteria E.coli on a MacConkey agar plate. The first part of the experiment involved the methods of manipulating‚ identifying and counting the bacteria and the second part was to find out whether the bacteria E.coli was the only type found in the given area by gram staining. E.coli was the chosen bacteria for this type of experiment. It is
