What did discovered Alexander Fleming?
Lysozyme and PenicillinHe was the first person to notice that a fungus (Penicillin) inhibited the growth of bacteria. Other people later purified the substance doing this and made the first antibiotic.
How does glucose concentration affect the growth of bacteria?
the greater the conentraion, the faster the growth of bacteria. it is an energy source.
Agent that slows or stops the growth of bacteria?
Antibiotics inhibit the growth of bacteria.
What is confluent growth?
A continuous bacterial growth covering all or part of the filtration area of a membrane filter in which the bacteria colonies are not discrete.
What is the different between bactericidal and bacteriostatic?
BACTERIOCIDE: The agent which kill bacteria is called bacteriocidal it can be done by heat of any chemical. BACTERIOSTATIC: The agent which inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria but do not necessasarily kill the bacteria.

How can itching be relieved when wearing a cast?
Use the CastCooler to remove moisture trapped in the lining of your cast. Without moisture, bacteria growth is inhibited and odor and itch are reduced.
Which pathways are specifically inhibited by sulfonamides?
Those diseases caused by bacterial infection/growth are inhibited by sulfonamide drugs because the drug interferes with the ability of the bacteria to reproduce. This slows down the development of the infection giving the bodies natural immune system time to develop the defenses needed to destroy the bacteria naturally.

What is meant by antimicrobial susceptibility?
A bacteria which is harmed, inhibited or killed by the antibiotic
How does salt preserve foods?
It creates an environment hypertonic to the cells of the bacteria that might cause harm if we ate them. The growth of the bacterial cells is inhibited because the plasma membrane pulls away from the cell due to the shrinkage caused by the salt.
If the bacteria can not use citrate what will the results be in the citrate agar test?
If bacterium cannot use glucose the fermentation tube will stay the same color. Gas may also occur inside the fermentation tube.
Effects of cucumis myriocarpus crude extracts on germination of water melon?
inhibited germination and growth
What is the mechanism of action of sulfonamides?
Sulfonamides inhibit dihydropteroate synthetase so that the bacteria's nucleotide synthesis is inhibited.
What effect does Mercurochrome have on bacteria?
It will affect the growth of the bacteria.
How does glucose concentration affect the growth of bacteria?
the greater the conentraion, the faster the growth of bacteria. it is an energy source.
What is the effect of salt on brassica rapa?
Brassica rapa is a type of plant that has yellow flowers. The effect of salt on it is that it inhibited growth.
