During the course of microbiology, there are many organisms to handle and many ways to handle them. One of the oldest and most commonly used technique was gram staining. This technique was used to determine if bacteria is present. Then, it had to be determined if the organism was gram positive or gram negative. During the staining procedure there is a primary stain of crystal violet, the mordant gram iodine, a decolorizer acetone alcohol, and a counterstain of safranin. After the steps are completed

When a specimen, which may be urine, stool, other body fluid (CSF, synovial, pleural), as well as swabs from a wound, surgical incision, or specific area of the body (vaginal, eye, nares)is brought to the micro laboratory for culture it is inoculated on a nutrient plate or in a nutrient broth for growth, as well as specific complex, selective, or differential types of media. Some media (agar plates) contain substances that enhance the growth of certain organisms, while inhibiting the growth of

Task 4 A. Describe the differences between gram-positive and gram-negative cell walls. The difference is the outer casing of the bacteria. Gram positive cell wall consists of a smooth and thick wall. A gram positive bacteria will have a thick layer of peptidoglycan (a sugar-protein shell) that the stain can penetrate and teichoic acids. In this case the lactobacillus and staphylococcus are gram positive. A gram negative cell wall is wavy and much thinner and has

Aeromonas Hydrophila: The Improbable Culprit Edwin Myrick Abstract This study examines the structure and influences of Aeromonas Hydrophila, as a stand-alone bacterium and as it contribute to Necrotizing Fasciitis. Aeromonas Hydrophila impacts both aquatic life and humans, although the infection is not commonly known. This study examines those influences and explores medical case studies where individuals experienced illness, amputation, and even death. Aeromonas Hydrophila:

course and explained to me what each of them contains. Overall this module has impacted my perspective of biomedical science. By doing this course I now am confident in what profession I want to specialise. It has taught me the importance of microbiology and how much of a big role it plays in healthcare and that without the study of microbes there would be no way for cures to be found of certain infections/diseases. From doing the patient case studies it has really taught me how scientists who

Discussion a) Gram Staining Escherichia coli is a Gram-negative rod- shaped bacterium. Initially the bacterium is stained purple by the primary stain, crystal violet. The alcohol which is used as a decolourising agent washes away the outer membrane and allows the crystal violet complex to wash out from the thin peptidoglycan, making the cell colourless. When the counterstain, safranin is applied, they appear pink. Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive bacterium and appear in cocci grape-like

Determination of Two Unknown Organisms From Sample number 16 Intro: This was an experiment to identify two unknown organisms from sample number 16. The importance of this experiment is to identify two differential bacteria that are commonly found in the world and in the presence of everyday life. Considerations of organisms that could be in the unknown tube include, but not limited to Bacillus subtilis, Clostridium sporogenes, Serratia marcescens, Micrococcus roseus, Micrococcus luteus, Sarcina

Microbiology Task 2 Obligate aerobes are organisms that only grow when oxygen is present. Obligate aerobes get energy from aerobic respiration. Facultative aerobes are organisms that can live with or without oxygen present. I incubated L. acidopholis and S. epidermidis at 37C. The incubation sites should stay a consistent temperature for at least 24 hours. Mesophiles are bacteria that best grow in moderate temperatures (between 25-45C). Most bacteria are mesophiles. Mesophile bacteria could
