LABORATORY REPORT: Aseptic Technique & Inoculation of Bacteria
Guide Questions.
1. Why is direct flaming preferred when disinfecting loops and needles?
2. Why is it important to flame the entirety of the loop and not just the tip? What consequences can be seen when this process is not done correctly?
3. What is the difference between quadrant streak method A from method B?
4. Why do we use a pencil instead of a pen when labelling culture tubes or plates? Are there other alternatives in labelling?
5. Why is an inoculating needle used in Subculturing Techniques? Can a loop be used instead?

Case 1
A 34-year old male patients arrives at a local hospital. He felt completely unwell, has a
fever, and he lost over 7 kg in the last month. He also suffers from a severe cough with
rust-colored sputum. His doctor requested for a chest X ray and sputum sample. During
interview, it was revealed that the patient tested positive for HIV a year ago. A tuberculin
skin test is then ordered. For three years, he had been living with two roommates. Before
that, he lived with another roommate who had tested positive for TB 6 months prior to
onset of the patient's symptom. Laboratory tests were also ordered for his two roommates
and the results are summarized below:

Direction: Read and analyze the following laboratory experiment and answer the
following question.
PART 1: SURFACE AREA AND CELL SIZE
Materials: Agar containing NaOH, and the pH-indicator dye phenolphthalein
cured into cubes of various size, 3 plastic cups, HCl, metric ruler, paper towels.
Methodology:
1. Safety: Wear goggles and nitrile gloves while completing this lab.
2. Obtain three different size blocks of pink or blue agar. Using a ruler,
measure the length, width, and height of the three blocks given below. Cut
the agar according to the given dimension.
Small = 1 cm x 1 cm x 1 cm
Medium = 2 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm
•
• Large = 1 cm x 1 cm x 6 cm
3. Record your data.
4.
Pour HCl or vinegar into two small cups. Place the one larger "cell" into one
cup and the two smaller cells in the other cup. Start timing 30 minutes.
5. After 30 minutes, remove the cells and blot them dry with a paper towel.
6. Using your ruler, measure the distance the HCl has diffused into the blocks
as shown on the…

SURG200 Ch. 10 Case Study
A surgical technology student is completing rotation at the clinical site’s central sterile processing department. The preceptor notifies the student that a patient has just arrived in the emergency department with a gunshot wound to the chest, and the student needs to assemble a case cart containing everything that will—or might—be needed for the case. The patient will be in the OR in 10 minutes, so the student must quickly work.
What instrument trays should be gathered for this case?
What equipment must be in the room for this case?
What supplies must be available for this case?
Considering the extremely limited amount of time available, what should be opened first, and what can be opened as the case progresses?
Please only answer questions 1 and 4.

Question #2:
45-year-old male had been working in his garden when he scratched the
knuckle of his right arm during digging in ground with a spade, he
immediately washed the area but noticed later that night that the knuckle
became red, warm to the touch and swollen. He went to the hospital, the
doctor ordered a Gram stain and culture on the pus extracted from the
wound. The culture grew the following organism and the Gram stain from
the wound showed the following results:
Based on the previous results, answer the following questions:
1. As a microbiologist, describe what you see on the Gram stain taken from
the wound site. And give a preliminary report on what you see on the
culture plates. What is the probable Genus and species?
2. Name 2 tests that can be done to positively identify…
