E-Coli Lab Report
Unit 7
Introduction
In this piece of coursework, there are few amounts of ideas and experiments that I could achieved of which different products to test for my concluding idea. The type of bacteria that I am going to discuss and chosen is E-coli. I will also going to research the effectiveness of antibacterial cleaning products, for instance sanitizer. I will also, research which is the most effective product for the house hold and some other work places.
Background Information
What are Bacteria?
Bacteria are found in: soil, radioactive waste, water, plants, animals, deep in the earth's crust, organic material, arctic ice and hot springs, basically everywhere except for places that humans have sterilized. Even the most unlikely places where temperatures may be extreme, or where there may be a high concentration of toxic chemicals have bacteria - these are known as extremophiles (an extremophile is any organism adapted to living in conditions of extreme temperature, pressure, or/and chemical concentrations) - these bacteria can survive where no other organism can.
There are three different types of bacteria which are: spherical, rod shaped and …show more content…
There are two different types of bacteria which are: non-pathogenic and pathogenic. Non-pathogenic means can cause disease and pathogenic means can cause disease, and the victim has to ensure that he/she doesn’t get infected. There are few methods that the victim can prevent from getting infected are by: not touching the surface of the agar with bare hands; do not inhale aerosols; and ensure to disinfect or sterilize afterwards. In this way, the bacteria are not exposed in the environment. It is more dangerous for the bacteria to develop them in cultures as they are concentrated. In order to prevent any risks, these bacteria should treat with the same aseptic procedure and
