nothing out of the ordinary except dehydration from the diarrhea. Lab tests showed that he had 13‚000 white blood cells/microliter of blood‚ and a methylene blue stain of his feces showed abundant neutrophils. His stool specimen was plated on MacConkey agar and several colonies on the plate turned bright pink after 24 hours. Based on symptoms and the lab results‚ he was treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxadole and intravenous fluid therapy. He improved quickly and was released after 24 hours.

Today‚ certain antibiotics are used in fighting certain diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli. However‚ due to the improper usage of these antibiotics and the increasing antibiotic resistance of the bacteria‚ a lot of the medicines commonly used before to fight the same bacteria are now considered ineffective and because of it‚ scientists try to find ways such as discovering new antibiotics or recommending to the citizens some procedures and ways

They are as follows: lactose fermentation on eosin methylene blue (EMB)‚ TSI (Triple Sugar Iron agar)‚ Phenol red sucrose‚ the SIM test‚ H2S by SIM‚ IMViC (indole‚ motility‚ voges-proskauer‚ and citrate)‚ Urease (urea broth)‚ PDase (Phenylalanine Deaminase)‚ Lysine Decarboxylase‚ and Ornithine Decarboxylase.

Microbes are everywhere. Objectives: The experiment performed in the Lab was isolation of microbes taken from us and the environment. We used Nutrient Agar which is a growth medium used to culture microorganisms or small plants and Sabourand Dextrose Agar plates used to cultivate moulds and yeasts. The objective of it was to demonstrate that microbes are everywhere. We expected to find a variety of bacteria‚ moulds and yeasts. We were introduced to aseptic techniques as they help ensure that

Materials and Methods The materials used in the lab were two agar petri plates‚ a permanent marker‚ labeling tape‚ sterile scalpel‚ compound microscope‚ toothpick‚ microscope slide‚ water‚ cover slip‚ and the ascospore Sordaria cultures‚ which included wildtype (dark)‚ tan‚ and grey (mutant) fungi. First‚ collect two agar plates to make the cross between the three different colored ascospores. The Sordaria should be crossed in the following

After carefully swabbing each site‚ we inoculated separate Petri dishes and a test tube of nutrient broth. A blood agar plate was exposed to bacteria by coughing on it. The plates were then incubated at 37ºC for 48 hours. The light switch and telephone were contaminated with both bacteria and mold which produced turbid tubes of broth. However‚ the sampling of the
