his is a typical lab exam question. (Problem-solving, uses current topic.) Your TA performed the antibiotic disc experiment using supplies from their research lab. The antibiotic discs had the year 2002 written on their containers. Your TA grew a pure culture of unknown bacteria. They applied the culture to a fresh agar plate and applied the 2002 antibiotic discs to the plate and incubated it for growth. They found that the mystery bacteria species was resistant to all three antibiotic discs that were applied to the plate. Are there any control groups that could be used to confirm or refute this multi-drug resistance? Describe them.

I’m kinda confused on what to study for the test and what questions are gonna be on there but this PowerPoint but I just want you to explain the microbiology screenshots to me in a way I can clearly understand, I need a tutor
Below is an MSA plate inoculated with bacteria and grown at 37*C for 2 days. Be pecific and thorough in your answers for parts a and b below. The color of the plate is yellow because b) The presence of bacterial colonies indicates that the bacteria can survive
(The top set of images are photographs of your results for MSA and MAC. The bottom set of images are illustrations that reflect the results you should have observed in the photographs.) Culture #:[Type here] Organism:[Type here] Name: Combination Media: Mystery Organism Identification You will be given a pure culture of one of three organisms. Your assignment is to identify which of the three possibilities is in your culture tube. To do this, you will use two different types of media: Mannitol Salt Agar and MacConkey's Agar. Complete the table below by predicting the reactions of each organism on each medium (Growth or no growth? If you expect growth, what color should it be?). Do this before coming to lab on the due date. The information about each organism below and the information found in the theory sections for the labs should help you make your predictions. If you complete this table correctly, it will be a big help to you while you try to identify MSA MAC your mystery organism!…

“Belinda!” called Kyle, running to catch up to her. Belinda turned around and waited for him. “Are you heading to the lab right now?” asked Kyle. “Yes.” she said. “I want to look over the Gram stain protocol one more time before we go in.” “Yeah, good idea. I’ve been trying to memorize the steps. But it’s hard.” Belinda and Kyle spent the twenty minutes remaining before the start of lab going over Chapters 3 and 4 of their textbook, which listed the steps of the Gram stain and how the staining results relate to the structure of the bacterial cell wall. Kyle and Belinda took a sample of the bacteria provided by their instructor and each performed the Gram stain. They focused on their slides with the oil immersion lens. “Got it!” they said almost simultaneously, grinning proudly. “So, what do you have?” asked Belinda. “I have Gram-positive bacilli” announced Kyle with an air of triumph. “Huh? I have Gram-negative bacilli.” “That’s not right, we used the same sample!…
A student needed to transfer bacteria from a broth culture to an agar plate. Below is the step-by-step what was done to accomplish this. The transfer of bacteria was not successful because of which step? 1. Cap of the broth culture is removed 2. The mouth of the bottle is flamed 3. The loop was flamed 4. The loop was inserted into the culture to pick up the bacteria 5. The loop was flamed 6. The loop containing the bacteria was used to introduced to spread the agar plate 7. The plate was placed in an incubator at 30 Celcius

The images attached are the photos of bacteria in yoghurt under a misroscope. According to these images and your own knowledge, can you make a biological drawing of bacteria in yoghurt ( in a circle) and identify the types of bacteria accurately?
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?
