- You are interested in obtaining Staphylococcus aureus for a study investigating the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in the general population. You have received several samples and are ready to start your isolation procedures ,State if you use general or selective media and which specific media you would choose. How would you determine if the culture was contaminatedTo determine the number of cells in a pure culture of Klebsiella pneumoniae, you have performed a serial dilution using three tubes of sterile saline (9.9 ml each). A sample of 0.1 ml from the culture was added to tube 1. Similarly, 0.1 ml from tube 1 was used to inoculate tube 2, and tube 3 was inoculated using 0.1 ml from tube 2. A nutrient agar plate was then inoculated using 0.1 ml from tube 3 and incubated overnight. The next day, 92 colonies were observed on the plate. How many cfu/ml were in the original culture? Using a Petroff-Hauser counting chamber, the number of cells in the same culture was estimated to be 8.5 • 109 cells/ml.
