Question
1 ml of a patient sample was added to 999 ml of media. From this 0.1 ml was transferred to the plate. After 24 hours there were 60 colonies on the plate. What is the dilution factor here. What's the number of bacteria per ml of the original patient sample.
a. |
The dilution factor is 1000. The patient sample contains 600 cells/ml |
|
b. |
The dilution factor is 1000. The patient sample contains 600,000 cells/ml |
|
c. |
The dilution factor is 100. The patient sample contains 600,000 cells/ml |
|
d. |
The dilution factor is 10. The patient sample contains 6000 cells/ml |

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?arrow_forward
- A sterile powder vial label indicates to add 3.4 mL of sterile water which will produce a final volume of 4 mL. The increased volume is the result of: Select one: O a. O b. C. O d.

At 4-hour interval, the culture was sampled to determine the population of the culture, by transferring 25 ml of the suspension to 225 ml 0.90% NaCl. Three consecutive dilutions were further made by using I ml aliquot in 9 ml of 0.90% NaCl. One ml from each dilution was plated in each of duplicate plates. The following table shows the results of the plating method. 田 Sampling COUNTS 1st dilution 54; 61 2nd dilution 3rd dilution 4h dilution 1st 3; 7 0; 0 0,0 2nd TNTC TNCT 242: 233 28: 37 3rd TNTC TNTC INTC 249-246 * TNTC = Too numerous to count i.

- You make a smear of E. coli and then simple stain the slide with methylene blue. If you failed to use correct aseptic technique by not sterilizing the loop before picking up the bacterial sample for the smear, what results may be seen under the microscope? A Both blue and purple cells may be seen on the slide. B No cells may be visible on the slide. C There may be cells of different shapes, sizes, and arrangements.arrow_forwardA stock solution of a bacterial strain is diluted 1/10000 to a total volume of 500ul. Then, 50ul of the dilution are spread onto a plate. The next day you count 150 colonies.
