Sampling of Gram-Positive Bacteria and Antibiotic Resistance Resting We thought it would be interesting to find out the different bacteria that grow on things we use on a daily basis and the level of antibiotic resistance that those bacteria have. We chose to swab the toilet seat in the MATC women’s bathroom and the ATM machine in the commons area on campus. We were certain the ATM would be dirtier than the toilet seat since the bathrooms get cleaned every day. The first step we took in testing

Whilst foods such as ‘meat’ form relatively well -defined groups of raw materials‚ ‘fish’ constitutes a large range of types (some sources recognise over 20‚000 identified species)‚ caught over

Microbiology in the News: Fecal Transplants Zimmer’s article on fecal transplants (2016)‚ discusses how the effectiveness of transporting healthy stool to sick individuals has led to a series of unanswered questions and beliefs. For years scientists were unsuccessful in finding a use for this type of treatment. The breakthrough came about during a trial experiment using the procedure to treat a serious bacterial infection; Clostridium difficile. Clostridium difficile is a bacterium that causes

One significant difference is that prokaryotes are without a cell

Microbiology is a field of science which typically is divided into several areas such as: bacteriology‚ virology‚ parasitology and immunology. The goal of microbiology is to increase the specific knowledge of a known microorganism and by extension counter the spread of harmful microorganisms and to learn practical applications of research results. A microbiologist studies the structure‚ metabolism‚ genetics and ecology of microorganisms such as bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi or algae. A microbiologist

INTRODUCTION Total Viable Count is a quantitative idea about the presence of microorganisms such as bacteria‚ yeast and mold in a sample. It counts the number of colonies produced by a very dilute suspension of bacteria on an agar plate and to observe the differential staining behaviour of the living bacteria. This involves counting the colonies produced by viable cells under favourable growth conditions. Some techniques needed before the viable count‚ like pour plate method‚ spread plate method
