- You are working in a lab studying Streptococcus pyogenes as a cause of necrotizing fasciitiis. You have an overnight culture that you want to know the starting concentration of, so do a set of six 1:10 serial dilutions (putting 1 mL from the stock into a 9 mL blank), with tube #1 being 1:10, #2 is 1:100, etc. You plate 0.1 mL from tube 5 onto a blood agar plate and the next morning count 134 colonies. How many bacteria (measured in CFU/mL) were in the overnight culture flask? A. 1.34 x 10^4 CFU/mL B. 1.34 x 10^5 CFU/mL C. 1.34 x 10^6 CFU/mL D. 1.34 x 10^7 CFU/mL E. 1.34 x 10^8 CFU/mL F. cannot tell based on the data given - you'd need to know the volume of the original culture flaskarrow_forwardDefine micro-injection.arrow_forwardAll of the following are technician’s duties except:a) Blood smear preparationb) Plant Microorganisms in culture mediumc) Count cells in body fluidsd) Centrifuge SST blood tubese) Perform capillary puncturearrow_forward

If one or more samples exceed 104 bacterial CFU/mL (or CFU/g) the entire lot produced will be rejected. Kousei's boss, Kaori, wanted to know if the lot passed the FDA guidelines. The following bacterial counts were obtained after serial dilution and pour plating of the samples: Type of Dilutions plated 10-4 10-³ 10'5 Colony Plate 1 Plate 2 Plate 1 Plate 2 Plate 3 Plate 1 Plate 2 Plate 3 Plate 3 244 Bacteria 288 251 99 81 75 24 21 15 Based on the bacterial counts obtained, will the lot be rejected? Yes, because the computed CFU/mL is 2.5 x 10^7 OYes, because the computed CFU/mL is 3.0 x 10^6 No, because the computed CFU/mL is 3.0 x 10^3 No, because the computed CFU/mL is 2.5 x 10^3 OYes, because the computed CFU/mL is 3.8 x 10^5 O No, because the computed CFU/mL is 3.0 x 10^3 O Information is lacking so CFU/mL cannot be computedarrow_forward
