Suppose you do this test on a hypothetical Staphylococcal species with the antibiotics penicillin and tetracycline. You record zone diameters of 20mm for the tetracycline disc and 25mm for the penicillin disc. Which antibiotic would be most effective against this organism? What does this tell you about comparing zone diameters to each other and the importance of the interpretive chart?

Suppose you do the Kirby-Bauer test on a hypothetical Staphylococcus species with penicillin and tetracycline. You record diameters of 20mm for tetracycline and 24mm for penicillin. Which antibiotic is most effective against this bacterium and why? Please explain and interpret these results.
Suppose you do this test on a hypothetical Staphylococcus species with the antibiotics pencilllin (p-10) and chloramphenicol (C30). You record identical zone diameters of 25 mm for the chloramphenicol and penicillin disks. Which antibiotic would be less effective against this organism? Penicillin falls to the left of the resistant zone Penicillin falls to the right of the suceptible zone zone Chlorampenicol falls to the left of the resistant zone Chlorampenicol falls to the right of the suceptible zone none of these
propose a hypothesis regarding the organisms (staphylococcus, escherichia, pseudomonas, and bacillus) that will be resistant to the most disinfectants, and why? if the hypothesis is supported, what specific experimental results will be observed? what would be the independent and dependent variable? zone size, disinfectant type, colony count
If a bacterial species is not susceptible to an antibacterial drug at the concentration present in a particular disk, does that necessarily mean the species is completely resistant to the drug? Explain your answer. What is the mode of action of bacitracin? How does this influence the types of bacteria it can be used against effectively? What is the mode of action of tetracycline? How does this influence the types of bacteria it can be used against effectively? Describe how populations of bacteria can evolve resistance to antibiotics. In your description, use the terms/phrases: mutation, resistant, sensitive, individuals, populations, natural selection, horizontal gene transfer.

If a bacterial species is not susceptible to an antibacterial drug at the concentration present in a particular disk, does that necessarily mean the species is completely resistant to the drug? Explain your answer. Did you notice any colonies (isolated mounds of cells) growing within any of the zones of inhibition? If so, which plate(s) and which drug(s)? What would cause growth of colonies within a zone of inhibition? please answer both questions.
If you spread one agar plate with a lawn of staphylococcus epidermis and the other with a virulent and contagious pathogen, would you expect to see the zone of inhibition around antibiotic x bigger or smaller or the same around the pathogen as around the staphylococcus?
A medium was inoculated with 5 * 106 cells/ml of Escherichiacoli cells. Following a 1-h lag, the population grewexponentially for 5 h, after which the population was 5.4 * 109cells/ml. Calculate g and k for this growth experiment.
What is the difference between a bactericidal antibiotic and an antibiotic that is bacteriostatic? Examine the zone of inhibition around each disk for the presence of micro colonies within the zone. What do these micro colonies represent? Why didn't plants evolve anti-microbial agents against all the microbes in their environment?
