What microorganisms grow in solid media?
Bacterial cultures.
Bacterial infection of the middle ear?
suppurative otitis media
What is the function of media agar?
Agar, which is a polysaccharide polymer, is a solidifying agent for culture medium. It also provides a solid surface for bacterial growth.
How do you make semi solid media?
Solid media is nutrient medium on whcih, when streak with the bacterial sample the bacterial colonies developed. It is commonly used to isolate different bacterial species or to have a pure culture i.e. a culture containing only one type of microorganism. At first R. Koch a German physician used to grow bacterial colony on boiled and sliced potatoes. Eventually he developed the culture media using meat extracts and protein digests and solidify it by using gelatin. Although gelatin is consumed by many bacterial species. Due to this disadvantage of gelatin Fannie Elishemius Hesse, the wife of Walther Hesse, one of the Koch's assistants suggest using AGAR as solidifying agent. Agar was not attacked by most bacteria and did not melt until reaching a temprature of 100oC. Furthermore once melt it did not solidify until it reached a temprature of 50oC.
Why peptone is an ingredient in TSA media?
There are two Peptone used in TSA media:1. Casein peptone2. Soya peptoneCasein peptone and Soya peptone provide nitrogen, vitamins and minerals. The natural sugars from Soya peptone promote bacterial growth.
What microorganisms grow in solid media?
Bacterial cultures.
Bacterial infection of the middle ear?
suppurative otitis media
What is a bacterial infection in the middle ear called?
The term for a middle ear infection is Otitis Media
What is the material used as a base for bacterial culture media?
The substance is Agar or Agar-Agar
What is a broth?
The culture which contain an organism (bacterial colony) which you are required to grow in a broth media that is a media lacking solidifying agent agar. A pure culture should not contain other bacterial or fungal cells in it except the required or cultured one
What is a broth culture?
The culture which contain an organism (bacterial colony) which you are required to grow in a broth media that is a media lacking solidifying agent agar. A pure culture should not contain other bacterial or fungal cells in it except the required or cultured one
Why does yeast colonies never allow other bacterial colonies to grow around in any media?
The yeast colonies never allow other bacterial colonies to grow around any media because they don't want competition. The yeast colonies never allow other bacteria colonies to grow around any media because they eliminate competition.
Is cefixime not effective in otitis media?
The question is unnecessarily convoluted. Cefixime is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, including otitis media, an infection of the ear. It is effective in treating this condition.
Why is ground beef a better bacterial growth medium than steak or roast?
The bacteria would be grounded up with the beef and it would be spread throughout the meat, making it ideal for the media to have bacterial growth throughout. Unlike the steak or roast where it would only have bacterial growth on the surface.
What is the technique you used in purify the bacterial culture on a plate?
Selective media, combined with quadrant streaking to dilute the sample into individual colonies.
Can otitis media infection spread to the mastoid spaces?
Otitis Media or middle ear infection can cause Mastoiditis or bacterial infection of the mastoid bone. If Otitis Media is untreated and recurrent, this can cause Mastoiditis. Mastoiditis typically affects children moreso than adults.
Should you keep scabs moist or dry to heal?
Dry is generally preferred. Wet, open sores are pretty fertile bacterial media.
