Summary Introduction
To determine:
The technical problem that would anticipate if a person plates sputum on agar to look for Mycobacterium tuberculosis that colonizes the lungs.
Introduction:
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It colonizes the lungs and also influences other body parts of the host. This bacterium is transmitted from person-to-person through the sneeze, coughs, and spits in the air. It is a contagious disease, but not easy to recognize.

E1.
A. Explain how the Snyder agar medium is both a selective and a differential medium.
B. How is the differential nature of the medium used to detect susceptibility to dental caries?
NOTE: Kindly provide references.
1. Differentiate between defined and undefined culture media.
2. Define alpha, beta, and gamma-hemolytic reactions on blood agar media (BAM). Cite two (2) examples of bacteria causing the above hemolytic reactions.
Work is being done with Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the microbiology laboratory. It is important to prioritize safety when working in the laboratory since the pathogen can produce high risks. Thus, the following protective materials should be present in the laboratory, EXCEPT:AutoclaveEffluent decontamination system
Air-purifying respiratorPositive pressure protective s
