Madison O’Reilly is a 6-year-old Caucasian female who has been brought to the pharmacy’s walk in clinic. Her mother states, she woke up about 3 hours ago crying with pain in her right ear. She also has a fever of 102 Fahrenheit. The otoscopic exam reveals a red, bulging eardrum. Madison weighs 36 pounds/ 16 kg. 1. What beta-lactam antibiotic will you prescribe? According to Epocrates, the drug of choice would be amoxicillin (Amoxil), which is in the penicillin family. If failed treatment occurs

I incubated it at 37oC for 24 hours. The next day, I made sure my slants were pure and also there was a thick line of organism where I had inoculated with a yellow-white color. Now I was ready to begin making my slides and start staining. I used E. Coli and S. Aureus next to my unknown to help me

Introduction: Every winter the snow falls, and people get sick. Both things have components in common. The snow that falls, and the bacteria that get you sick may both be small, but when you allow them to accumulate, you can see characteristics of them. While snow is made from frozen water, with flakes differentiating in the structure of them, bacteria is like that. Certain bacteria families may have similar genomes, they do have slight differences that make up what they are. One way to tell the

These items consisted of the petri dish, vial medium, the culture of E. coli and the pipette. This first step we completed was to measure the 1 ml of bacteria with the pipette and then to add it to the culture media. We then gently mixed the media with the bacteria, and then carefully poured the media into the petri dish without

in the North American jellyfish, Aequorea Victoria, and is harmless hence leading to its usage as a tool to study gene expression in an organism as they are easily visible (Dickson, 2008). GFP causes an organism to glow under UV light. Escherichia Coli or E.Coli is considered as a gram-negative bacteria.

During my childhood, I lived in village where more or less every people depend on agriculture for their livelihood. I saw how hardship people going through during plowing field, sowing seeds hoping the blessing of harvest. Hence, they did not produce expected amount of crop because of few drawbacks likes low productive varieties, water crisis and so on. Even sometimes crops are completely destroyed by sudden drought, over rain or outbreak of viral disease.. Suffering from frequent disaster, my

Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Alcaligenes faecalis, Escherichia coli, and Proteus vulgaris that were used in the lab, as well as comparing and

caused by over 200 pathogens, chemicals, and parasites, which contaminate food at different points in the food production and preparation process.1 Examples of foodborne diseases include: Norovirus, Campylobacteriosis (campylobacter), Escherichia coli (e. coli), Hepatitis A, and Salmonella. The burden of foodborne illness in the United States is serious; “about 1 in 6 people in the United States get sick each year, 128,000 are hospitalized, and about 3,000 die annually.”2 There are various agencies

Introduction: Bacteria are among the most abundant of all organisms on earth. Some species of bacteria is always present in every different environment the plant has to offer. For this to be possible, bacteria are all very different from one another. This lab aimed to identify a certain colony of bacteria, using a variety of tests at the disposal of scientists. The simplest method of narrowing down possibilities involves the use of a compound microscope to observe the general shape of the cells

MANIPULATION OF BACTERIA INTRODUCTION: In this experiment that we performed, there were many methods that were used to help us manipulate and identify the bacteria E.coli on a MacConkey agar plate. The first part of the experiment involved the methods of manipulating, identifying and counting the bacteria and the second part was to find out whether the bacteria E.coli was the only type found in the given area by gram staining. E.coli was the chosen bacteria for this type of experiment. It is
