pages 5-9 Bacteria surround us every day. These little “bugs” are invisible to the eye and most do not harm us. Many are necessary for us to survive‚ like the bacteria in our stomachs and intestines that help us to digest food. But some bacteria are very dangerous to us. Addie Rereich became very sick in May 2011‚ when she was 11 years old. What started as something that her doctors and mother were not worried about turned into something very bad. After testing‚ Addies was found to have

Identification of Unknown Report Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to determine the identity of an unknown bacteria slant culture. The unknown was identified using differential tests to determine its metabolic and morphology characteristics. Results from the differential tests indicated that unknown culture 5 is Staphylococcus aureus. Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to determine the identity of an unknown bacteria slant culture using a series of differential tests. The tests

Abstract In vitro studies show that tea tree oil can be used as a topical methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) eradication regimen in a laboratory setting. This report has been researched using a wide range of journals and internet sources to find out whether tea tree oil can be used as an alternative to Mupirocin for those suffering from MRSA colonisation. The journals that were searched contained useful information about tea tree oil as an antiseptic‚ however‚ many of the studies

aseptic‚ a little cultured bacteria was inoculated on the TSA agar. A quadric streak was making. Inoculation loop was heated and keep it cold for a while before the next quadratic streak. Six agar plates were observed for 24 hour at temperature of 30ºC. Choose one from the dense colony and make a sub-culture on the new agar plate. The step was repeated to get a single colony‚ which is pure colony. a) Sequestration of bacteria from fish organs Methodology Dissecting set was prepared and soaks it

My journey to the unknown started about three weeks before the end of my microbiology class at Brunswick Community College. This journey started out with a media plate cultured with an unknown species of bacteria. I was then instructed by my professor to use all of my previous knowledge to identify the unknown bacterial pathogen. This lab led me to master my skills of using the Gram stain‚ testing for catalase‚ testing for coagulase and using the oxacillin screen. Now I am going to take you with

Unknown Lab Report April 25th‚ 2006 Introduction The purpose of this lab was to identify two unknown bacteria cultures using various differential tests. The identification of these unknown cultures was accomplished by separating and differentiating possible bacteria based on specific biochemical characteristics. Whether the tests performed identified specific enzymatic reactions or metabolic pathways‚ each was used in a way to help recognize those specifics and identify the unknown cultures
Premium Enzyme Staphylococcus Staphylococcus aureus
Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) To understand Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus‚ we must first understand Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus is a spherical‚ or coccus‚ bacteria (MRSA). The bacteria usually appears is chains‚ bunches‚ or grape like clusters‚ (Gregory‚ 229). It is a gram-positive aerobic organism that causes skin infections and sometimes pneumonia‚ endocarditis and osteomyelitis (Beers‚ 1442). This infection commonly leads to abscess formations
