Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) is a way to measure the sensitivity of microbes to antibiotics or antifungals (antimicrobials). Organisms are tested for growth in various concentrations of antibiotic. This allows microbiologists to see which concentration (MIC) of antimicrobial will be effective against the pathogen. It also used for determining treatment for patients suffering from infections such as pneumonia‚ meningitis‚ endocarditis or osteomyelitis or managing the treatment of high-risk

MICROBIOLOGY COURSEWORK The effect of antibiotic concentration on bacterial growth Introduction Null Hypothesis- Increasing the antibiotic concentration has no effect on bacterial growth. Experimental Hypothesis- Increasing the antibiotic concentration decreases bacterial growth. Scientific Theory Bacteria are prokaryotes and can be identified by their shape. Spherical bacteria are called cocci‚ rod shaped bacteria are called bacilli‚ spiral shaped bacteria are called spirilla and

artificial nutrition and hydration as a form of life support is one decision that some people have to make. I feel that tube feedings‚ while okay for short term use are fine‚ but they should not be used as a form of long term care because the risks outweigh the benefits of having a feeding tube. A tube feeding is a medical procedure that people can accept or deny. Feeding tubes provide a chemically balanced mix of nutrients and fluid to those who are unable to swallow‚ eat‚ or drink enough nutrition

Nowadays‚ a Pitot tube would be of use as a speedometer on aeroplanes. It is also found useful in industries where velocity measurements are required‚ where an anemometer may not be the most efficient instrument to use. There are three types of pitot tubes: Pitot tubes‚ Static tubes‚ and Pitot-Static tubes. The simple pitot tube essentially consists of a tube bent at - usually - 90°‚ with an open end pointing directly towards the fluid flow. As the fluid flows in the tube‚ it becomes stagnant

EXPERIMENT ONE- BIOLOGY MODEL Answers TO DETERMINE THE EFFECT OF CHEMICALS AND TEMPERATURE ON MEMBRANE DESTRUCTION AND PERMEABILITY IN BEETROOT (Beta vulgaris) Introduction The cell membrane is made up primarily of phospholipids and proteins which contribute to its selectively permeable nature. The function and permeability of the cell membrane depends on its intact structure. When destroyed‚ the permeability of the cell membrane is disrupted causing cellular contents to leak out. The cell
