Why is that bacterial slide agglutination technique important in diagnostic procedure?
In product testing, no colonies appeared. Interpretation: Rationale:
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
There are so many microbes in a single mL of culture, it is very difficult to perform one dilution to produce countable cells. Microbiologists need to perform a dilution series, where multiple dilutions are performed in sequence to arrive at the correct dilution. Dilutions are cumulative. Multiple the series of dilutions together to find the final dilution value. If 3 serial dilutions are performed, each with a value of 0.01, what is the cumulative dilution? Express your answer as an exponent, e.g. 0.1 would be 1e-1 and 0.01 would be 1e-2
A microbiologist sets up a serial dilution to analyze bacteria in raw milk. Tube 1 – 0.1 mL milk diluted in 9.9 mL sterile water Tube 2 – 0.1 mL milk from Tube 1 diluted in 9.9 mL sterile water Tube 3 – 1.0 mL milk from Tube 2 diluted in 9.0 mL sterile water What is the dilution of raw milk in Tube 3?
Kousei works at a company that produces sweetened condensed milk. If one or more samples exceed 104 bacterial CFU/mL (or CFU/g) the entire lot produced will be rejected. Kousei's boss, Kaori, wanted to know if the lot passed the FDA guidelines. The following bacterial counts were obtained after serial dilution and pour plating of the samples: Type of Dilutions plated 10-4 10-³ 10'5 Colony Plate 1 Plate 2 Plate 1 Plate 2 Plate 3 Plate 1 Plate 2 Plate 3 Plate 3 244 Bacteria 288 251 99 81 75 24 21 15 Based on the bacterial counts obtained, will the lot be rejected? Yes, because the computed CFU/mL is 2.5 x 10^7 OYes, because the computed CFU/mL is 3.0 x 10^6 No, because the computed CFU/mL is 3.0 x 10^3 No, because the computed CFU/mL is 2.5 x 10^3 OYes, because the computed CFU/mL is 3.8 x 10^5 O No, because the computed CFU/mL is 3.0 x 10^3 O Information is lacking so CFU/mL cannot be computed
A patient sample will be analyzed. You are responsible to quantify the bacteria number. The dilution series shown in the Figure ( Dilution.jpg) is prepared and 1 ml from each tube is plated. Plates were grown 24 hours resulting in colonies in each plate. Which plate you will use to quantify the bacteria in the patient sample? Why did you pick that plate? What is the dilution factor used in this series? Calculate the number of bacteria in the original patient sample. What would you do and why, if there were too many colonies to count on each plate?
Why is aseptic urine collection important when cultures are ordered? If you counted 20 colonies from a 0.01-ml inoculum of a 1:10 dilution of urine, how many organisms per milliliter of specimen would you report? Is this number significant? What can you learn from visual inspection of a urine specimen? How would you relate these to the microorganisms present in the sample? How are UTIs acquired/transmitted? Explain why E. coli is frequently implicated in cystitis in females.
Note that it is not appropriate to self-diagnose outside of a medical context and this is a completely hypothetical scenario. Imagine you have a rash on your foot. You're concerned that it's an infection and inoculate a sample onto an agar plate. You wonder, How can I figure out whether the pathogen is a bacterium vs a eukaryote? You decide to use lab supplies to get a basic understanding of the pathogen. Be specific about what tests you use and what you expect the results to be. Limit yourself to experiments we could do in our lab. What is one experiment you could do, involving culturing the organism?
