Imagine you made a single kirby bauer plate to determine if a given antibiotic were effective for treating a certain type of bacteria. Which of the following results would indicate that the tested antibiotic was not effective? The presence of a purple coloration in the bacteria, after adding the antibiotic disc The presence of a large zone of inhibition around the antibiotic disc The presence of a pink coloration in the bacteria, after adding the antibiotic disc. Bacterial growth right up to the antibiotic disc.

In the antibiotic disc diffusion study, the "Minimal Inhibitory Concentration" or MIC of the antibiotic was in the agar in the agar furthest away from the antibiotic disc O halfway between the disk and the border of the zone of inhibition directly under the antibiotic disc at the border/edge of the zone of inhibition
A researcher is planning to plant antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli pure bacteria sample in antibiotic (ampicillin) solid media in his experiment. Describe each of the sterilization methods that this researcher should use while preparing this solid medium with antibiotics and in cultivation of the bacteria on the solid medium, indicating the stages at which it should be used and giving the mechanism of action.
Suppose you spilled two cultures of Salmonella typhimur-ium (each containing 100,000 cells) on your lab bench. You im-mediately applied the same disinfectant to both cultures at thesame time. One culture had been freshly grown for 36 hours andthe other culture is 2 weeks old. If the kill ing rate of the disin-fectant is 90% per minute, do you think that microbes in bothcultures will be completely killed after 6 minutes? Why or whynot?
Below is a diagram of four different antibiotics (numbered 1-4) that are being tested in a petri dish inoculated with bacteria. After a sufficient incubation period, bacterial growth occurred except in the zones of inhibition (shown with dotted lines in the diagram) around the antibiotics. Based on the results shown here, would it be reasonable to conclude that the most effective antibiotic in this example would be an effective antibiotic against any bacterium? Why or why not?
Imagine that you have set up a Kirby Bauer experiment on Mueller Hinton agar (non-selective agar) in order to test if Escherichia coli is susceptible or resistant to Drug X. After 24 hours, you notice a zone of inhibition (clear zone) around your antibiotic disc and determine that E. coli is susceptible to Drug X. You then take a cotton swab and subculture a sample from this zone of inhibition (where no growth was apparent) onto a new agar plate without antibiotics and after 24 hours you see growth of E.coli. What can you conclude about Drug X?
A pure culture was inoculated onto a Mueller-Hinton agar plate. The Kirby-Bauer procedure was performed. One of the drugs tested showed a large zone of inhibition but also had small colonies growing within this zone. Further testing showed that these colonies were not the results of contamination. Why would these colonies be present within this zone of inhibition?
nt ● ● S ● Paragraph F 2. To determine if the type of agar affects bacterial growth, a scientist cultures on fou different types of agar. Five petri dishes are set up to collect results: One with nutrient agar and E. coli One with mannitol-salt agar and E. coli One with MacConkey agar and E. coli One with LB agar and E. coli Styles One with nutrient agar but NO E. coli Ed
Which of the following is a reason to run simultaneous tests on known positive and negative controls when identifying an unknown microbe using biochemical tests? The controls maintain the differential qualities of the test medium The controls can show if there was contamination of the tubes with another species The controls will ensure that the unknown microbe multiplies on the medium The controls can show if there was a recent mutation in your unknown microbe
A culture of E. coli has a concentration of 5 x 108cells/mL. How many times do you have todilute the culture so that when you spread 0.1mL on an agar plate you will have 250 colonies?Hint: you need to find dtotal and then convert it into a DF.
A pure bacterial culture of unknown concentration was diluted to determine the concentration of viable bacteria in the original culture. Serial dilutions were performed as 1. diagrammed below. Each dilution tube contained 400 ul of diluent and 100 ul was transferred into each tube. TSA plates were inoculated with 100 µul from the last three dilution tubes. a. What is the dilution between each tube shown in the diagram below? Express your answer as a ratio. b. What is the total dilution of tube number 5? Express your answer as a ratio. c. What is the concentration of viable bacteria in the original culture? Express your answer using scientific notation and the units CFU/ml. d. What is the concentration of viable bacteria in tube number 2? Express your answer using the units CFU/ml. e. If you inoculated a TSA plate with 250 µl from tube number 5, how many colonies would you expect to see after the plate was incubated? 1 2 3 5 423 80 13 Number of colonies
Does the antibiotic disk producing the largest zone of inhibition on a plate always correspond to the drug you should treat the patient with?
Special Media for Isolating Bacteria OBJECTIVES Because multiple methods and multiple media exist, you must be able to match the correct procedure to the desired microbe. For example, if bacterium B is salt-tolerant, a high concentration (>5%) of salt could be added to the culture medium. Physical conditions can also be used to select for a bacterium. If bacteri- After completing this exercise, you should be able to: 1. Differentiate selective from differential media. 2. Provide an application for enrichment and selec- tive media. um B is heat-resistant, the specimen could be heated before isolation. Dyes such as phenol red, eosin, or methylene blue are sometimes ineluded in differential BACKGROUND media. Products of bacterial metabolism can react with One of the major limitations of dilution techniques used to isolate bacteria is that organisms present in limited amounts may be diluted out on plates filled with dominant bacteria. For example, if the culture to be isolated has 1…
