Slant Agar Tube Growing at room temp: Pink Color Isolation (Streak Transfer) Inoculation Incubation (37 celsius) Identify Streak Plate Know Parts of microscope 40x lens= 400 magnification (40 x 10) Naseria gonnerah (gram negative, pink) E. coli (rods) Plasmodium (little purple things inside blood cells) Trapanosomes (outside blood cells) B. Sub (Strepto bacilli) Strepto coccus (mardigras beads) Know spiral bacteria Simple staining: looking at different staining, one stain Inoculation, let it dry, heat fix. If you don’t let it dry it will boil and explode/lose their shape Adding dye, if you don’t heat fix before dye will wash off Safromyces cervisiea (yeast cells): big and overly round Cheek Cells (rectangular, clear nucleus) S. Epi (Staphococulus staph o stack) Differential Staining (gram staining) Gram positive: purple Gram negative: pink At the beginning, put bacteria on the slide, let it dry, heat fix, do staining. First dye: Chrystal violet gram- positive will be purple, gram-negative will be purple Second dye: Iodine gram- positive will be purple, gram-negative will be purple
Third step: Ethanol- 15 seconds gram-positive will be purple gram-negative will be clear Final step: Saffarin gram-positive will be purple, gram-negative will be pink If alcohol is left too long, they will all be pink If you use bad alcohol, everything will be purple Alcohol is the main differential step Carbohydrate fermentation: Different bacteria can ferment different sugar (lactose, dextrose) Fermentation two products: Acid and gas (yellow: fast fermenter, orange: slow fermenter) Antibiotics Penicillin inhibits cell wall Clindamycin inhibits protein synthesis Polymyxin inhibits cell membrane Trimethoprim: Fluoroquinolones: DNA Rifampin: RNA Tetracycline: Protein Vancomycin: Cell Wall Erythromycin: Protein Streptomycin: Protein Ampicillin: Cell Wall Cell Wall: Beta Lactams Disinfectants (adding disinfectant at 0 min, 1 min, 5 min, 10 min) Kirby Bauer (Adding antibiotic discs) Lots of emptiness: Bacteria is susceptible to antibiotic Growth all the way up to the disk: antibiotic-resistant Fomites Food Safety How germs spread Skin bacteria Pink plate, allow staph to grow but not e. coli: MSA PLATE Pink plate, e. coli growing but staph and strep aren’t growing: MAC PLATE Gram-positive doesn’t grow
