Identification of Bacterial Pathogens basic skills in diagnostic bacteriology Dr.T.V.Rao MD Dr.T.V.Rao MD 1 Identification of Microorganisms • For many students and professionals the most pressing topic in microbiology is how to identify unknown specimens. • Why is this important? • Labs can grow‚ isolate and identify most routinely encountered bacteria within 48 hrs of sampling. • The methods microbiologist use fall into three categories: ♣Phenotypic- morphology (micro and

The Identification of Two Unknown Species of Bacteria in Tube #72 Introduction: There are many reasons for knowing the identity of microorganisms. The reasons range from knowing the causative agent of a disease in a patient‚ so as to know how it can be treated‚ to knowing the correct microorganism to be used for making certain foods or antibiotics. This study was done by applying all of the methods that have been learned so far in the microbiology laboratory class for the identification of an

(catalase-negative organisms will not). This test is good for distinguishing between Gram-positive cocci in chains (catalase negative) versus Gram-positive cocci in clusters (catalase positive). The coagulase test is used to differentiate Staphylococcus aureus from coagulase-negative staphylococci. The test uses rabbit plasma that has been inoculated with a staphylococcal colony. The tube is then incubated at 37 degrees Celsius for 1½ hours. If negative then continue incubation up to 18 hours. * If positive

Appendix B – Identifying Bacteria Bacteria identification is accomplished in a number of ways. Two common tools microbiologists use to identify unknown bacteria include dichotomous key and biochemical tests. The dichotomous key is useful when a microbiologist only needs to know which group an unknown microbe belongs to on a general level. When a microbiologist needs to identify a specific bacterium‚ biochemical tests are used. PART ONE: GENERAL BACTERIA IDENTIFICATION Review the dichotomous

The Growth of Bacteria Influenced by Different Antibiotics Introduction: Plants are made up of three basic kinds of tissue that help it carry out basic functions that are necessary to maintain life and proper photosynthesis. The first and outermost layer of tissue is called the dermal layer. This is the plant’s ‘skin’ and serves the plant mainly as a source of protection. Also present in the dermal layer of the leaves are stomata‚ which are tiny openings that allow carbon dioxide to enter

Our focus was on making a hot meal with a simple modification to increase the dietary fiber available. The original recipe is a white rice pilaf with the adjustment being made with a substitution of brown rice. This change will boost the fiber intake from 0.8g per serving to 2.6g per serving. The represents a substantial jump in accessibility to a vital part of our diet. We expect favorable results in the acceptance of our modification. The texture is a bit hardier‚ cooking time is longer‚ and cost

Bacteria are among the oldest species in the world.They both incerease in number and comply with nature very quikly so‚they maintain their species.Therefore‚bacteria have been the most common type of species according to number.Hence‚bacteria had been classified in order to make analysis.easily.Bacteria can be classified into three main categories on the basis of their nurition:saprophytic‚parasitic and chemoautotrophic bacteria. The Saprophytic bacteria are the first type of bacteria

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
