1. You wish to determine viable counts on a culture of Bacillus subtilis. You begin by pipetting 1 ml of culture into 99 ml of sterile water. After mixing the dilution well you make a series of 4 further dilutions of 10-1 each. From the three most dilute samples, you prepare three pour plates using 1 ml in each. After incubation you find the plate counts of the plates are 16, 245 and 890 respectively. a) Show the dilution scheme. b) What is the estimated viable count (cells/ml) in the original culture? 2. Scientific Notation. Fill in the missing information. a) 4.5 x 109 = _______ b) 50 x 107 = _______ c) 2300 x 1010 = _______ d) 0.54 x 108 = _______
Ten grams of hamburger were added to 90 mL of sterile buffer. This was mixed well in a blender. One-tenth of amL of this slurry was added to 9.9 mL of sterile buffer. After thorough mixing, this suspension was further dilutedby successive 1/100 and 1/10 dilutions. One-tenth of a mL of this final solution was plated onto Plate Count agar.After incubation 145 colonies were present. How many colony-forming units were present in the total 10 gramsample of hamburger?

At the station there is a 2 mL microcentrifuge tube containing sheep blood and 3 tubes containing the following solutions: 0 mM, 300 mM, 600 mM of sucrose. The tubes are randomly labelled A, B, C. 2 mL of each solution were transferred to a different microcentrifuge tube, 20 ul of blood were then added to each tube, and they were mixed well by inverting the tube for multiple times. They were observed and it was determined whether the solution in each tube was hypotonic (Yes or No) relative to the blood cells. In addition, the solutions were diluted with water to help you determine which solution is which sucrose concentration. What sucrose concentration corresponds with each tube? Tube Hypotonic (Yes/No) Hypotonic after 1:1 dilution with water (Yes/No) Most likely Sucrose concentration (mM) A No Yes B Yes Yes C No No

A 7 year old female patient is admitted to a local hospital for a greenstick radius break. The break is repaired, the patient is sent home and receives a cast a few days later. The patient arrives back at the hospital 20 days afterwards complaining of pain, sweeling under the cast. Upon removal of the cast, there is notable swelling, pus, and a furuncle. a. what type of specimen should you collect? b. What type of instant test would you perform? c. if your clinic ran out of the instant tests, what lower cost method would you use to identify the species? d. What would be the typical course of treatment? e. Due to some cases of antibiotic resistant infections at the same hospital, the doctors want to use a specimen and test for antibiotic resistence, What test would you perform, and which antibiotics should the doctor avoid prescribing?

1. A bacterial culture was grown for 12 hours. At 4-hour interval, the culture was sampled to determine the population ofthe culture, by transferring 25 mlof the suspension to 225 ml 0.90% NaCl. Three consecutive dilutions were further made by using 1 mlaliquot in 9 mlof 0.90% NaCl. One ml from each dilution was plated in each of duplicate plates.
