Antibiotic	Code	Zone of Inhibition (mm)	S, I, or R?
Penicillin	P	15
Streptomycin	S	8
Ampicillin	A	25
Chloramphenicol	C	14
Bacitracin	B	5

QUESTIONS:

Which antimicrobial agent was most effective against your organism?
Can you determine from your results whether this antimicrobial agent will also be most effective against another bacterium? Why or why not?
Is this technique measuring bacteriostatic effect, bactericidal effects, or both? Explain.

4) Consider the following list of hypothetical antibiotics, tested against Escherichia coli in a Kirby-Bauer test:

Antibiotic	Zone of Inhibition (mm)
Astonostatin	12
Bodaciosporin	25
Crazifloxacin	5
Dorkimycin	16

When the above antibiotics were tested as treatments for E. coli infections in humans, it was found that Dorkimycin has virtually no effect on the infection, while Astonostatin is the most effective of the four antibiotics listed. Propose an explanation for this result.
Based purely on these results, can you draw up a similar table for predicted zones

What is this result telling me? The ANCOVA confirmed the hypothesis that the antimicrobial dose response was paralleled between two bacterial species (S. typhimurium and E. faecium), and the interaction between antimicrobial concentrations and bacterial species was not significant (P > 0.05); only the antimicrobial concentrations of H2O2-PAA mixer played a significant (P < 0.05) impact on the inactivation of S. typhimurium and the surrogate bacteria E. faecium on squash.

Below is a diagram of four different antibiotics (numbered 1-4) that are being tested in a petri dish inoculated with bacteria. After a sufficient incubation period, bacterial growth occurred except in the zones of inhibition (shown with dotted lines in the diagram) around the antibiotics. Based on the results shown here, would it be reasonable to conclude that the most effective antibiotic in this example would be an effective antibiotic against any bacterium? Why or why not?
Experiment #1 From Antoinette de Senna’s Master’s thesis on ‘Screening of biological control organisms for the management of phytopathogenic fungi and foodborne pathogens on produce’. Objective: To screen three LAB (Lactobacillus plantarum, Pediococcus acidilactici, and Pediococcus pentosaceus) for antimicrobial activity against the foodborne pathogens Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, and Escherichia coli. Methods: 1 ml of the pathogen was placed into a petri dish. Then, 15-20 ml molten tryptic soy agar (TSA) tempered to 50°C was added. When the TSA solidified, a loopful of LAB was spotted onto the agar. Plates were incubated at 35°C for 24 hours then the zone of inhibition was measured from the boarder of the bacterial colony to the perimeter of the clearing. Results: Questions: What is the independent variable? What is the dependent variable? Suggest a control for this experiment? What is the optimal temperature range for Listeria monocyogenes? Is monocyogenes a…
The Kirby -Bauer antimicrobial sensitivity testing method relies on: A. The inhibition of one antimicrobial by another B. The diffusion of antimicrobials in paper discs C. Serial dilutions of antimicrobials in test tubes D. A gradient of an antimicrobial on a paper strip
Think about minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) assays. A set of tubes, all containing the same amount of bacterial cells, have decreasing amount of antibiotic X added to them. Tube 1 had 0mg/ml, Tube 2 has 100mg/ml, tube 3 has 50mg/ml, 4=25, 5=12.5, 6=6.25, and tube 7 has 3.125. If bacteria grew in tubes 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, what is the MIC of this antibiotic for this bacteria? Select one: a.None of the Above b.3.125 mg/ml c.25 mg/ml d.0 mg/ml e.50 mg/ml
Spectrum of activity describes how many species of microbes a drug works against. Broad-spectrum antibiotics are effective against many different groups of bacteria, while narrow-spectrum antibiotics work well against a particular group or species, but have little effect on the rest. Based on our class results, which of the following are narrow-spectrum? Group of answer choices Amoxicillin/Clavulanic acid Ampicillin Kanamycin Ciprofloxacin Vancomycin Bacitracin Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole
A drug failed to work. Even if resistance is not an issue, the antimicrobials are found to only have a discrete range of bacteria that they can exert their effects on. Why is this the found case? Question options: Microbial components vary over different species and strains. If the organism naturally doesn't express the target component, the drug won't be able to exert an effect on it. Antimicrobials are designed to be effective for a predetermined period of time. An older antibiotic can't exert any effects on a new microbial strain. There is a different antimicrobial designed for every strain of bacteria. As a result there is no crossover in action due to selective targeting. The body filters antimicrobial compounds to interact with their target microorganism. Until research determines how to control this, antimicrobials will only ever have a very discrete range of targets.
Identify which antibiotic was used per set-up (see figure). Describe the result in the graphs provided to help you explain your answer.

They are hydrophobic, and they insert into the membranes to create pores.
