Solved in 2 steps
- Why is that bacterial slide agglutination technique important in diagnostic procedure?__________ indicates ________________ in the cell culture. Bovine Serum, trypsin Yellow media, waste buildup Orange media, contamination Clear pink media, cell suspensionWhat is the purpose of fixing a smear? Mark all that apply: 1. To attach the bacteria to the slide 2. To cause the cells to shrink and become distorted 3. To kill the bacteria so they aren't harmed by the staining method 4. To break down the cell wall in order to make the cells accept stain 5. To kill the bacteria to make the slide safer to handle
- What method is best for for isolating a colony on a TSA plate? A. Swab plate B. Straight line inoculation with a loop C. Streak plate with a loop D. Spread plate with a glass spreaderThe capsule stain is considered a negative stainIs there a relationship between Gram staining and sensitivity to various antibacterial compounds? Please explain.
- Disrobe laboratory method Western Blot used to evaluate the immune response, describe how it works in detail, Also, please provide at least one pathogen your method of analysis is used to detect.The culture primarily contains nutrients such as sugars and a gel (agar). Why don’t viruses grow in a culture like bacteria do? Explain.Why is it important to limit the quantity of cells used to prepare a smear? Mark all that apply: 1. So that cells are not clumped and don't entrap stain creating erroneous results 2. So that the cells are spread out enough that cell morphology can be discerned 3. So that there are small groups of cells clumped together to make them visible 4. So that no contaminants are introduced onto the slide by being entrapped in clumps 5. So that the cells are spread out enough that the arrangement can be observed
