Which antibiotic is most effective against this bacterium and why? Please explain and interpret these results.2. You use tubes to test aerotolerance of bacteria. From your samples you have 3 results: A. Bacteria growing on the surface. B. Bacteria growing throughout the tube, the agar shows cracks. C. Bacteria growing about 5 mm below the surface. Please interpret each bacterial result. (Give the bacteria an oxygen classification, explain what classification means and interpret the cracks in the agar.)2. you do the Kirby-Bauer test on a hypothetical Staphylococcus species with penicillin and tetracycline.

- 8. Some antibiotics show no zone of inhibition against the microbe. How is this possible? Explain how the microbe is able to combat against the antibiotic with proper reasoning.1. The colonies on a negative MSA plate would appear _____________. 2. "E. Coli and S. epidermidis were chosen to represent Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, respectively. For a given antibiotic, is there a difference in susceptibility between the Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria?" "No, they are usually similar" "yes, drugs that target the cell membrane are more effective on gram negatives" "yes, drugs that target the cell wall are more effective on gram negatives" "yes, drugs that target the cell wall are more effective on gram positives" how can I tell the differenceA microbiology student was given a mixed culture of two different gram positive bacteria species to grow into a culture medium using correct aseptic techniques. After two days,one gram positive bacterial species grew on the media and the growth appeared red on the surface of the medium. Tthe second gram positive bacterial species grew and the growth appeared yellow on the surface of the medium. What is the possible explanation for the differences in the color of the bacterial growth? A. the culture was contaminated B. the microbiologist put too much inoculum on the culture medium C. the medium was a selective medium D. the medium was differential
