Question
Chapter 15.4, Problem 2MM
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The more important case in the given case; the knowledge of which antibiotics are effective against which microbes or the careful reading of the report.
Concept introduction:
The microbes are generally killed by certain antimicrobial agents but with gradual time and continuous application of the drug, the microbes become resistant to drug. The sensitivity test is done on microbes for rapid result that either the microbe is resistant to specific drug or not.

Greetings :) Based on the results of using Hanging-drop method in Figure 2, what microorganisms can you find? Kindly state or identify all microbes you can see, and briefly described each of them. Thank you so much!
Identify which antibiotic was used per set-up (see figure). Describe the result in the graphs provided to help you explain your answer. Listed below are some essential information.Antibiotic A: 0.5 kDa protein, targets peptidoglycanAntibiotic B: 20 kDa protein, targets peptidoglycanAntibiotic C: Cationic antimicrobial peptideAntibiotic D: Targets lipopolysaccharideStaphylococcus aureus: gram-positive bacteriumVibrio cholera: gram-negative bacteriumMethanosarcina: an archaean bacteriumCationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs): these positively charged antibiotics are attracted to the negatively charged cell wall and membrane. They are hydrophobic, and they insert into the membranes to create pores.
Title: "Putting Koch's Postulate to Test"
Choose a microbial disease and use Koch's Postulates to
prove that it is caused by the implicated microorganism.
Specifically, you have to provide brief narratives/pictures/proofs and sources that supports each postulate
