Lab 12 Assignment Phage titration problems
1) You are given a bacteriophage suspension with an undetermined number of bacteriophages per milliliter. You diluted this original bacteriophage suspension 1/1,000. Then, you mixed 0.1 milliliter of the diluted phage suspension with 0.1 milliliter of an E. coli suspension and soft agar medium (generating mixture “A”, with a total of 1 milliliter), and pour the entire volume of this mixture as an overlay onto a nutrient agar plate. After hardening, the plate was incubated for 24 hs. Enumeration of the plaques revealed 80 plaques on the plate after incubation. Based on this observation, what is the number of plaque forming units (pfu)/milliliter in the original bacteriophage suspension provided?
Final Answer Here: ____________ PFU/ml
2) You are given a bacteriophage suspension with an undetermined number of bacteriophages per milliliter. You diluted this original bacteriophage suspension 1/10,000. Then, you mixed 0.2 milliliter of the diluted phage suspension with 0.1 milliliter of an E. coli suspension and soft agar medium (generating “mixture A”, with a total of 1 milliliter), and pour the entire volume of this mixture as an overlay onto a nutrient agar plate. After hardening, the plate was incubated for 24 hs. Enumeration of the plaques revealed 110 plaques on the plate after incubation. Based on this observation, what is the number of plaque forming units (pfu)/milliliter in the original bacteriophage suspension provided?

Urine Culture Inoculating Urine with a calibrated loop
The number of microorganisms per milliliter recovered on urine culture can aid in the differential diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI). Plastic or wire inoculating loop available commercially, have been calibrated to deliver a known volume of liquid when handled correctly, thus enabling the microbiologist to estimate numbers of organism in the original specimen based on colony forming unit (CFU) of growth on cultures.
PROCEDURE: 1st day
1. Gently swirl the specimen bottle to mix the urine specimen.
2. Label all plated media with name of patients, clinical specimen used and date. Label at the bottom of plates and not on the cover.
3. Obtain a disposable calibrated loop.
4. Dip the loop straight into the urine specimen so that the loop part is completely covered. Withdraw straight out. See fig. 16-18

sir
1 12:34 PMA
Objectives: Study the eytotoxicity and how it is measured.
1- Background
Cytotoxicity can lead healthy living cells to three potential
cellular fates.
1. Necrosis (accidental cell death): Rapid loss of membrane integrity and cell
lysis
2. Apoptosis (programmed cell death): slower, more orderly, and genetically
controlled
3. Cytostasis (a decrease in cell viability): cells remain alive but fail to
actively grow and divide
Importance of measuring cytotoxicity two major reasons
1. Either you want specific cells to die and look for an adequate
compound/condition (cancer and immunotherapy)
2. Or you want to exclude cytoloxicity in specific cells (chemicals and drugs)…

Nanomaterial-Based Vaccine Development and Immunomodulation
Following the publication of the genetic sequence of SARS-CoV-2 on January 11, 2020, intense research efforts have been devoted to developing a vaccine against COVID-19. With unprecedented speed, this extraordinary scientific mobilization led the first vaccine candidate to enter the Phase I human clinical trial on March 16, 2020, and other novel candidates are rapidly following. Up to May 22, 2020, there are 10 COVID-19 candidate vaccines in clinical evaluations and 114 in preclinical development.
Concerning vaccine and immunization research, nanomaterials can assist in multiple ways to boost the…

Question:-
Two different patients suspected of having a urinary tract infection submitted fresh urine samples to a lab for culture and antibiotic sensitivity testing. The samples were inadvertently left out overnight at room temperature. The next day, a medical technologist discovered the samples. Upon opening the first sample, the strong smell of ammonia was noticed. The second urine sample did not have a strong ammonia smell.
Based on these observations, which urine sample most likely contained cells of the bacterium Proteus Vulgaris? Explain your answer.
If these two urine samples had not been noticed until a week later, would you expect there to be a difference in the “odor” of the samples? Explain your answer.

1. A bacterial culture was grown for 9 hours. At 3-hour interval, the culture was sampled to
determine the population of the culture, by transferring 25 ml of the suspension to 225
ml 0.85% NaCl. Three consecutive dilutions were further made by using 1 ml aliquot in 9
ml of 0.85% NaCI. One ml from each dilution was plated in each of duplicate plates. The

Nanotechnology Tools to Inactivate SARS-CoV-2 in Different Environments Outside the Patient
SARS-CoV is highly stable at room temperature and at 4 °C, but it is inactivated by ultraviolet light at 254 nm, highly alkaline or acidic conditions of pH >12 or pH <3, respectively, or by brief (e.g., 5 min) heat treatment at 65 °C. SARS-CoV-2 is expected to be similarly sensitive. Several human coronaviruses can be inactivated by classical disinfectants, including bleach, ethanol, povidone-iodine, chloroxylenol, chlorheximide, and benzalkonium chloride, so we expect similar inactivation with SARS-CoV-2. The virus stability on surfaces…
