Experiment 9: Growth curve of Serratia marcescens Abstract Bacteria grows by binary fission. The aim of this experiment is to follow the growth of Serratia marcescens in nutrient broth at 37oCby recording the changes in turbidity (cloudiness) by measuring the absorbance of visible light (600 nm) and also to prove that there is an increase in the cell number and not just in mass during the growth. In the experiment we measure the full growth curve of Serratia marcescens by measuring the absorbance

Hand hygiene is the most important evidence-based intervention to prevent transmission of nosocomial infection in a health care setting.

maggot therapy mechanisms of action Medicinal maggots have at least two confirmed beneficial effects on wounds that can be supported by laboratory investigations. They are debridement‚ or elimination of necrotic tissue‚ and removal of pathogenic bacteria. There is moreover‚ evidence from recent studies that they may also accelerate wound healing by promoting the formation of granulation tissue as suggested by the early literature‚ Wound debridement activity Necrophagous larvae feed on the dead

Hygiene‚ 00-791 Warsaw‚ Poland Received 14 March 2013; Accepted 10 May 2013 Abstract: Bacterial resistance to commonly used antibiotics is constantly increasing. Bacteria particularly dangerous for human life are methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus‚ vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium and fluoroquinolone-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Hence‚ there is an incessant need for developing compounds with new modes of action and seeking alternate drug targets. In this review‚ the authors

Oxygen Requirements of Bacteria BACKGROUND The GasPak system is useful for culturing anaerobic bacteria on standard microbiological media because the GasPak generates carbon dioxide and hydrogen. The hydrogen will combine with oxygen present in an anaerobic jar to produce water. This system can reproducibly attain oxygen levels in the parts per million range if used correctly. This is the best method for determining the oxygen requirements of unknown organisms. A candle jar is useful
