Bacterium Inoculums preparations for the MIC and MBC experiments From the previous isolated and identified MRSA and VRSA S. aureus isolates, four MRSA+VRSA and four MRSA+VSSA isolates were chosen for MIC and MBC experiments. With a sterile loop, a loopfull from each chosen isolate was inoculated from the BHI slant into MH broth then incubated with shaking at 37°C overnight for 24 hours. The concentrations of these suspensions were adjusted to be equal to the 0.5 McFarland standards by adding a…

used to determine the chemical make up of the cell wall of bacteria. The cell wall can stain either positive or negative, depending on its chemistry.The aim of this experiment. Gram staining was the first differential technique used and still in use to make microscopic vision of bacteria clearer while also sub-divides the bacteria into two major groups: Gram-positive and Gram –negative. This experiment should help us describe how Gram staining affects the different cell walls of the different…

the cell is susceptible to lysis and osmotic rupture due to osmotic rupture due to turgor pressure. Figure 1: Comparison between gram-positive bacterial cell walls and gram-negative bacterial cell walls. Structural differences in the bacterial cell walls cause bacteria to be subcategorized into gram-positive and gram-negative. Gram-positive cell walls (e.g. Bacillus subtilis, Streptococcus…

lead this debate to be push moral deliberation about the rights into the center even where a legal right is recognized. The basis and scope of the moral right to health care involve with positive and negative rights. According to Daniels, “a right to health care is a positive right as opposed to negative right” (Daniels). Furthermore, a right…

slant and if negative it will be a darker red color. The LIA tube will also be used to test decarboxylate lysine, which will help us distinguish bacteria that will produce hydrogen sulfide from those who cannot. If positive for decarboxylate lysine it will have a purple butt, and if negative it will have a yellow butt. The Sulfide Indole Motility (SIM) blue cap tube is a semisolid agar and it is also used to determine sulfide production, indole formation and motility in Gram negative bacteria.…

In the United States of America, the legality of physician-assisted suicide or “Active Euthanasia” has been the topic of a highly debated political controversy. Whether there is a morally relevant difference between “Active Euthanasia” and “Passive Euthanasia”, or more simply between doing and allowing harm is at the center of this dispute. Two American philosophers, James Rachels and Bonnie Steinbock share their outlooks on the topic in their essays Active and Passive Euthanasia (1975) and The…

Sporosarcina. A positive Acetion production is eliminated S. caseolyticus,S. gallinarum, S. hyicus subsp. hyicus, S. hyicus subsp. chromogenes, S. intermedius, S. lentus, S. saccharolyticus, S. sciuri, and S. simulans. A negative Oxidase result is eliminated M. kristinae and S. xylosus. A negative Urea hydrolysis is eliminated S. cohnii subsp.2, S. epidermidis, S. hominis, S. saprophyticus, S. warneri, and S. xylosus. And then, a positive Maltose result is eliminated S. capitis, S. carnosus, and…

test and last was the Mannitol Salt Agar test. Thus microbe #1R was Sporosarcina ureae (Brady, Personal Communication). Procedure of the Gram stain Purpose: The Gram stain reveals whether a microbe is gram positive or gram negative. It also reveals if the microbe is bacilli or cocci in shape and the arrangement…

cause the bacteria to be dysfunctional. When observing gram-positive bacteria one can perceive that the bacteria consist of teichoic acid, surface protein, lipoteichoic acid, peptide-glycan, cell membrane, and phospholipid. When observing the gram-negative bacteria one can note that this bacteria consist of lipopolysaccharide, surface protein, outer membrane, lipoprotein, peptide glycan, and cell membrane. These two are mainly composed of a lot of different materials and have just a few of the…

Contamination by Site While the previous data set is useful in showing the overall prevalence of pathogenic microbes on computers, it may be useful to further examine variations in contamination levels between different departments. This would allow one to determine which departments face the most risk and require the most changes. In the study conducted by Po-Liang et al. (2009), no significant differences in pathogenic contamination rates between ICU workstations and non-ICU workstations (7.4%…
