Abstract: Bacteria consists of a large domain of prokaryotic microorganism in which can fight of antibiotics allowing the bacteria to become antibiotic resistant. In this lab report‚ we discover the most effective disinfectant that would work best in killing the harmful bacterial strain‚ Bacillus subtilis. KB testing or disc diffusion antibiotic sensitivity testing is measured through the diameter in millimeters to find how resistant the antibiotic to the bacteria. The hypothesis of Windex fell correctly

INTRODUCTION This scientific report is to discuss the results of an experiment being conducted on the effect that antibiotics have on the growth of bacteria. This will be done through the use of microbiology. Microbiology is a science in the department of biology‚ particularly microorganisms. These include; bacterium‚ fungi‚ protozoa‚ algae and viruses. This is an important subject to study as microorganisms can be found everywhere‚ covering all matters of different surfaces even including the human

University of Phoenix Material Roderick Tabigne Respiratory System Lab – Week Six Introduction The respiratory system consists of the upper respiratory tract (the nasal cavity‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ trachea‚ and bronchi) and the lower respiratory tract (the lungs). As you learn about the various diseases that affect the respiratory system‚ it is important for you to understand the structures that can be affected by disease. Complete this lab to become familiar with a healthy system and to identify

You are also responsible for the PowerPhys lab report. Measuring Normal Respiratory Volumes 1) Calculate the minute respiratory volume using the tidal volume and breaths per minute (pump rate). 2) Define the following terms: a. Respiration- The act of breathing

These standards can create psychological issues which can cause stress‚ depression‚ and eating disorders. As learned in the course text‚ we know that stressors can cause a lot of issues health wise. Using the textbook example of the Upper Respiratory Tract Infection and compare it with obesity. Like URTI‚ obesity effects physical‚ and psychological health which could potential cause more issues down the road. Looking at physical health‚ obesity can affect the immune system. Which is due to a positive

Introduction The purpose to this lab was to isolate and identify two unknown bacteria from a mixed culture provided to us by our instructor. This study was done by applying all of the methods that have been instructed on thus far in microbiology laboratory class. Each test performed‚ provided us with some key information about the unknown microbes in question and how the bacteria function. Materials and Methods Over a two week period‚ eight prepared types of test media were provided to

own nasal mucus had antibacterial effects--when he left a culture plate smeared with Staphylococcus bacteria on his lab bench while he went on a two-week holiday. When he returned‚ he noticed a clear halo surrounding the yellow-green growth of a mold that had accidentally contaminated the plate. Unknown to him‚ a spore of a rare variant called Penicillium notatum had drifted in from a mycology lab one floor below. Luck would have it that Fleming had decided not to store his culture in a warm incubator

Coccus is a term used to describe a type of morphology that helps us distinguish different kinds of bacteria. The cell’s morphology is only one of the many ways we can differentiate the different species. Looking at these bacterium underneath the microscope is an important step to determine which kind of species it is. All cocci bacteria are not gram positive‚ but this lab will examine only this kind because of their influence in human health. Staphylococcus Aureus is a gram-positive coccus bacterium
