A 7 dilution is performed on a culture of bacteria in order to perform viable plate counts. From the dilution, *0.1 mL* of solution is plated on solid media, and 31 colonies of bacteria grow on the petri dish. Assuming each colony came from a single bacterium, how many bacteria are in a single mL of the original culture? Express your answer to two decimal places using standard notation. Since only 0.1 mL is put on the plate, this counts as an extra dilution!!! Any time less than 1 mL is transfered, a dilution is being performed. Any time more than 1 mL is transfered, a concentration is being performed.

Activity 13 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 5. Inoculate blood agar plate (BAP) as shown in fig.16-19 6. Incubate at 35 – 37˚C for 18 – 24 hours. 7. Dispose…

A 0.00001 dilution is performed on a culture of bacteria in order to perform viable plate counts. From the dilution, *0.1 mL* of solution is plated on solid media, and 223 colonies of bacteria grow on the petri dish. Assuming each colony came from a single bacterium, how many bacteria are in a single mL of the original culture? Express your answer to two decimal places using exponential notation. Since only 0.1 mL is put on the plate, this counts as an extra dilution!!! Any time less than 1 mL is transfered, a dilution is being performed. Any time more than 1 mL is transfered, a concentration is being performed.
