configure the data is described on Blackboard (2). Results PCR amplification of the community DNA product was unsuccessful. There was no evidence of PCR amplified DNA on the gel (Figure 1.1). An alternate gel from Molecular Microbiology Laboratory was used as a model to perform gel electrophoresis of the community DNA (2). A plot of migration distance vs. size that includes the Invitrogen ladder can be used to determine the size of the PCR amplified community DNA (Figure 1.2)

Introduction Bacteria are microscopic unicellular prokaryotic organisms characterized by the lack of a membrane-bound nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. They are remarkably adaptable to diverse environmental conditions and are found in bodies of all living organisms and on all parts of the earth. The purpose of microbial biochemical tests is to identify the unique traits it yields and with that knowledge we can then categorize them in groups and specify them by scientific name. These experiments

1. Explain the three elements necessary to spread infection. The spread of infection requires three elements. The first is; A source of infecting microorganisms: This could be an exogenous infection which arises from microorganisms external to the individual and do not exist as normal flora. They usually have a preferred portal of entry like the gastrointestinal for Salmonella. Another source is endogenous infections which can occur when part of the client’s flora becomes altered
