What would you expect your experimental results to indicate about the effect of ampicillin on E. coli cells?
The in vitro susceptibility of 103 cultures of E. coli isolated from scouring and nonscouring pigs, and four cultures of Salmonella isolated from a case of necrotic enteritis was tested against Ampicillin contained in nutrient broth at concentrations of 0, 0.1, 1.0 and 5.0 uG per ml. of the medium. All but three cultures of E. coli were found to be susceptible to 5.0 uG/ml., all Salmonella isolates were also susceptible to this concentration of the antibiotic. Susceptibility of E. coli was also tested by plating dilutions of fecal samples obtained from either a scouring or a nonscouring pig, with E.M.B. agar containing 0, 0.1, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 uG Ampicillin per ml. of the medium. No difference in the growth of E. coli was observed at 0, 0.1 and 1.0 uG concentrations. The three higher concentrations of the antibiotic inhibited the growth of E. coli proportional to the amount of Ampicillin in each concentration. Ampicillin proved very effective in alleviating the symptoms of hemorrhagic enteritis in a 11-week old pig. The disappearance of scours was associated with the replacement of the previously existing sero-biotypes of fecal E. coliwith another aberrant type of E.coli which produced H2S. No Ampicillin resistant strains of E. coli emerged following treatment of the animal with this antibiotic.
Why do penicillin and ampicilin work on salbus but not e coli?
E. coli produces an enzyme known as beta-lactamase, which makes it resistant to penicillin and ampicillin, whereas salbus does not.
What are alternative therapies for infant's with E. Coli infections?
Ampicillin along with aminoglycosides. Better consult physician.
How do ampicillin resistant E. coli combat the lethal effects of the ampicillin antibiotic?
The pGlo plasmid contains an ampicillin resistance gene. This gene encodes an enzyme, β lactimase, which enzymatically degrades ampicillin. Therefore, bacteria that take up the plasmid (transformants) become resistant to ampicillin.
Why did E coli 1 strain grow on both the LB agar plate and the LB with streptomycin but not on the LB agar plate with ampililln?
E. coli strain 1 likely grew on both the LB agar plate and the LB with streptomycin because it is either sensitive to streptomycin or does not possess any resistance mechanisms against it. However, it did not grow on the LB agar plate with ampicillin, suggesting that the strain is either susceptible to ampicillin or lacks the necessary resistance genes to survive in its presence. Thus, the growth pattern indicates the strain’s susceptibility to ampicillin while being unaffected by streptomycin.
What is the scientific name for E coli?
Escherichia coli
Does amoxicillin kill e coli?
Amoxicillin can be effective against certain strains of E. coli, particularly those that are susceptible to penicillins. However, many strains of E. coli, especially those that cause serious infections, may be resistant to amoxicillin. Therefore, susceptibility testing is important to determine if amoxicillin is an appropriate treatment for a specific E. coli infection. Always consult a healthcare provider for accurate diagnosis and treatment options.
Which Generation of Cephalosporins are active against Listeria?
Listeria is not susceptible to cephalosporins... ampicillin is used instead
