The Swab Clicker Question:
Here’s Some, Depending on Specimen Clicker Question
Urine Analysis Dip Sticks Top: After reaction with metabolites in urine. Bottom: Before reaction with metabolites in urine Test time = 60 sec. Measures: glucose, bilirubin, ketones, sp. gravity, pH, protein, urobilinogen, nitrite, esterases. Top two right are false positives to show the color reaction.
There are hundreds of Selective and Differential Bacteriological Media Text goes on describing particular samples: wounds, feces, genital swabs, etc. We will cover those when we get to specific diseases.
Urethral Swab: Microscopy + Plating on Thayer-Martin Agar Oxidase Test Reagent poured onto the agar AFTER the colonies grew up.
Metabolic Reactions The Classic API-20e Glucose Phenol Red with Durham tube. TSI: triple sugar iron agar. Citrate Test
Testing Antibiotic Sensitivity Kirby-Bauer Zone of Inhibition E-test. MIC: Minimal Inhibitory Concentration
Some Antibiotics – Interpretation of Size of the Zone of Inhibition
Pseudomonas aeruginosaMICs Each numbered row – one antibiotic, highest conc at left, lowest at right. Clicker Question:

Working in a BSL-4 Lab The Gen Micro Labs in AHC2 are BSL-1, most our research labs are BSL-2. BSL-3 labs: to contain pathogens that could be infective as an aerosol. BSL-1: lab people wear lab coats, gloves..and usually does not involve pathogens. BSL-2: needs to contain pathogens in hoods, etc. Aerosol generating equipment must be in a biosafety cabinet.
Disease Progression: Untreated Typhoid Fever Antibody Titers: Generally done by serial 1:2 dilutions from a blood sample. Highest dilution that brings about an Ab-Ag reaction. Clicker Question:

Immunoblots: Detecting Blotted Proteins (after electrophoresis)
PCR Detecting Mycobacteium tuberculosis Lanes 1 + 10 Molecular Weight Standards Lanes 2-12 from different TB patients sputum Lanes 13-14 from non-TB patients with lung symptoms. Lane 15 – from known Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA.
