The agent of gas gangrene is classified as anbased on its oxygensensitivity so in addition to antibiotics and debrideent, hyperbaric oxygen is commonlyused in the treatment of gas gangrene. This organism can persist in the outsideenvironment under extreme harsh conditions which include the presence of high levels ofatmospheric oxygen because it is able to form an(seen as the absenceof color in the Gram stain) which will germinate when introduced into environments suchas deep muscle tissue with minimal levels of oxygen, lots of water, and lots of nutrients.

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?
