A researcher is testing the efficacy of a new antiseptic against Staphylococcus aureus. They inoculate broth tubes containing variou concentrations of the chemical. After incubation, it is observed that there is no growth in the undiluted and 1:4 dilutions of the antiseptic. The 1:8, 1:16 and 1:32 c had bacterial growth. Which of the following would indicate that the antiseptic is bacteriostatic? A zone of inhibition appears at the top of the tubes where growth was originally observed. O Subcultures from the original cultures containing the undiluted chemical and the 1:4 dilution do NOT grow in fresh media. Subcultures from the original cultures containing the 1:8, 1:16, and 1:32 dilutions all show growth in fresh media. O Subcultures from the original cultures containing the undiluted chemical and the 1:4 dilution show growth in fresh media.

A patient comes to the hospital complaining of pain after going to the bathroom. This has been on going for the past couple of days and the pain is steadily increasing. A urine and blood sample are taken and determine there is a bacterial infection. To confirm this result which method discussed today would help confirm this and why? What result should be observed? Explain.
A patient with a diagnosis of "Staphylococcal pneumonia" was admitted to the clinic. For successful etiological treatment we should select an effective antibiotic. For this purpose, was recommended to determine the antibioticogram of the pathogen. 1. What method can be used to determine antibiotic sensitivity? 2. The principle of the method and accounting for results.
Briefly describe the main scientific principle(s) underlying the following techniques used in the Combating Disease practical (you may use diagrams if you wish): ammonium sulphate precipitation Dialysis Immunoelectrophoresis
Jack, a new MLT at Cape Fear Hospital was given the following information from a patient's urine sample which had been tested for the presence of S. aureus. The urine contained 6.4 x 107 CFU/ml S. aureus, the plate dilution was 10, and the sample had been taken from the 10-5 dilution tube. Calculate the number of bacterial colonies which must have been counted on the plate and what volume of the sample in µl that was actually plated to give the above results. PS, both of these values can be calculated.
Choose the false statement below. O Effective antimicrobials may not be used commercially because of their mode of delivery or the time it takes them to leave the body. O Decontamination of an object is not necessary if disinfection is done properly. O In general, acid fast bacteria are less sensitive to antimicrobials than are Gram-negative bacteria or fungi. Question 8 Choose the false statement below: O Using three different classes of antimicrobials in combination greatly decreases the chance of developing resistance because the drug resistance strategy for one is the same for others. O Drug resistance to antimicrobials has proven to be extensive against chemotherapeutics as well as other chemical antimicrobials. O Collateral damage is a term that refers to the killing of normal body flora as well as pathogenic bacteria when taking antimicrobials or antibiotics.
A patient with AIDS is hospitalized with symptoms of high fever and rigidity of the neck. Routine laboratory tests on the CSF show a WBC count of 100/m L with a predominance of lymphocytes and monocytes, glucose of 55 mg/dL (plasma: 85 mg/dL), and a protein of 70 mg/dL. The Gram stain shows a questionable starburst pattern. Questions: a. What additional microscopic examination should beperformed?b. If the test is positive, what is the patient’s diagnosis?c. If the results of the test are questionable, what additionaltesting can be performed

You are working in a lab studying Streptococcus pyogenes as a cause of necrotizing fasciitiis. You have an overnight culture that you want to know the starting concentration of, so do a set of six 1:10 serial dilutions (putting 1 mL from the stock into a 9 mL blank), with tube #1 being 1:10, #2 is 1:100, etc. You plate 0.1 mL from tube 5 onto a blood agar plate and the next morning count 134 colonies. How many bacteria (measured in CFU/mL) were in the overnight culture flask? A. 1.34 x 10^4 CFU/mL B. 1.34 x 10^5 CFU/mL C. 1.34 x 10^6 CFU/mL D. 1.34 x 10^7 CFU/mL E. 1.34 x 10^8 CFU/mL F. cannot tell based on the data given - you'd need to know the volume of the original culture flask
After an antimicrobial drugs test, the following results were obtained from a disk-diffusion test against a bacterium. Antiboitic A= 6mm Antibiotic B= 18mm Antibiotic C= 11mm Antibiotic D= 19mm which drug should be used to treat an infect caused by this bacterium (assuming everything else is equal about these antibiotics)?
Please put the following types of organisms/pathogens into the correct order based on their resistance to general antimicrobial compounds. The MOST resistant description will be #1 and the LEAST resistant description will be #4. Gram positive bacteria Mycobacteria (contain mycolic acids/waxy lipids) Gram negative bacteria Endospores
Could an organism that is susceptible to an antimicrobial agent in laboratory testing fail to respond to it when that drug is used to treat the patient? Explain.
