Chapter 4, Problem 2FIB
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Heat fixation is a procedure, which is involved in preparing a microbial specimen for staining to view under a microscope. It is a process of applying heat over the air-dried specimen in order to facilitate the attachment of the microbes on the slide. The heat fixed specimens are then subjected to the staining procedure to identify the specific type of microbes.

write out a detailed summary on E.Coli. Questions below will help yu frame your summary.
Please describe the bacterium. What is its shape and size? Is it Gram-positive or negative? Pictures are always fun! If you can find a microscopic image – include it.
What is/are the reservoir(s)? e.g. water, food, human, etc.
Are there parameters needed for infection? (Temperature, pH)
What is/are the mode(s) of transmission. If it's foodborne - is it linked to a specific food?
How many cases occur each year? In the US and/or worldwide and/or in the County where you live
Has it caused any outbreaks or epidemics?
Thank you-
