Unknown Lab Report Dr. Nathan Cahoone Microbiology 204 December 9‚ 2010 Introduction There are many reasons for knowing the identity of microorganisms. The study and test was done by applying all of the methods that have been learned so far in the microbiology laboratory class for the identification of an unknown bacterium which I was using unknown #25. Results Unknown #25 had the following morphology on a streak plate: medium sized butyrous cream colored colony. Gram-staining was utilized

A. Trachoma This is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium “Chlamydia trachomatis”. The infection causes the inner surface of the eyelids to become rough leading to pain in the eye‚ breakdown of the cornea and possible blindness. Untreated‚ repeated trachoma infections result in entropion - a painful form of permanent blindness when the eyelids turn inward‚ causing the eyelashes to scratch the cornea. Children are the most susceptible to infection due to their tendency to easily get dirty

The most common pathogen isolated from the airway of Cystic Fibrosis patients is Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Phenotypic changes in the bacteria have shown that some have undergone a mutation

Ampicillin‚ gentamycin and clotrimazole were used as positive controls. Antimicrobial activity was shown by all the species except E.coli and P. aeruginosa. Oil showed a highest activity against Candida albicans with an inhibition zone of 19mm and a partial activity of 12mm against Staphylococcus aureus. A similar
