1,Mannitol salt Agar(MSA) used as a selective and differential
medium to isolation and identification of
staphylococcus...Coagulase positive staphylococcus produce yellow
colonies and a surrounding with yellow medium..Mannitol salt agar
contains peptones and beef extracts which supply the
nitrogen,minerals,vitamin and aminoacids important for
growth..Mannitol is the fermentable carbohydrate, fermentation of
which leads to acid production by phenol red indicator..it helps to
differentiate staphylococcal species for selective
isolation..
2, since the catalase is nearly ubiquitone in some of the organism
that can grow in the presence of oxygen..Staphylococcus is the one
of the most virulent gram positive bacteria..major function of
catalase within cells to prevent the accumulation of toxic levels
of hydrogen peroxide formed as a by-product metabolic
process-electron transport pathway..catalase useful techniques in
medical microbiology to identify and differentiate between
staphylococcus species..
3, staphylococci (coagulase positive result) can cause
infection..it lead to superficial skin lesions and deep-seated
infection like osteomylitis and endocarditis and nosocomial
infection..it also make infection associated with indwelling
medical devices,food poison,toxic shock syndrome,UTI etc..

I need a help to solve the questions 2, 5,6, 8 and 10. BACTERIOLOGY LAB PRACTICAL You are welcome to use your lab exercises, class notes or textbook to answer the following questions. Please remember that your isolate is something that we worked with at some point in the semester, so it should look familiar. You are welcome to take this part of the lab practical home to work on, but please have it ready to turn in at the...
All of the following are characteristic of Staphylococcus aureus EXCEPT 1- produces coagulase 2- ferments mannitol 3- grows on an MSA plate (i.e., halotolerant) 4- grows in chains You have isolated gram-positive cocci from a throat culture that you cannot identify as staphylococci or streptococci. A test for one enzyme can be used to distinguish these bacteria quickly. What is the enzyme? 1- dogalase 2- catalase 3- lactamase A candle jar is used to culture Streptococci because they 1- grow...

Question 1: After recording the results from physiological testing, you will properly dispose of the plates in the biohazardous waste bag. a) True b) False c) No answer text provided. Question 2: If a Gram-positive coccus is catalase positive and presumed to be a staphylococcus, which of the following tests will be performed next? a) Glucose fermentation test b) coagulase test c) antibiotic susceptibility test d) Motility test Question 3: If a Gram-positive coccus is catalase negative and thought to...
You are given a mixed culture of two organisms in a small tube of TSB. These two organisms include a Gram-negative strain (your bacterial strain to identify) and a Gram-positive strain (a contaminant). Your first task is to isolate these organisms which will help you identify which Gram-negative strain you are working with. 1) You inoculate two streak plates on TSA media and MacConkey Agar using aseptic technique. For each medium, state whether the medium is selective, differential, or neither and...
