Why do you suppose that plate counts for urine infections are made from the blood agar plate not the MAC plate?
Plate counts for urine infections are typically made from blood agar plates rather than MacConkey (MAC) plates because blood agar supports the growth of a wider range of bacteria, including fastidious organisms that may not grow well on MAC plates. Blood agar provides the necessary nutrients and allows for the detection of hemolytic activity, which can be important for identifying certain pathogens. Additionally, urine samples often contain mixed flora, and blood agar can help in isolating and quantifying the relevant pathogens more effectively.

What is happening at the plate margin of vesuvius?
I suppose that it is a part of friction between two continental plates.
Do blood agar support viral cultivation?
No, Blood Agar does not support viral cultivation. If you have a nutrient agar plate with a lawn of cells coating the surface, you could add viruses to the lawn and the viral culture will survive on the plate by infecting the cells in the lawn, clearing them as the cells are lysed. The areas of clearance on the plate are called plaques.
Why was a blood agar plate used instead of a nutrien agar plate for the hand washing experiment?
because blood agar contain only blood, the culture from the mouth might not grow properly, whereas nutrient agar contain mixture of nutrient and blood, therefore culture from the mouth will properly.
What are the advantages of serial dilution of an agar plate?
Serial dilution of an agar plate allows for the quantification of bacterial colonies by providing a range of colony counts within the plate, making it easier to count without overcrowding. It also helps to isolate individual colonies for further analysis or microbiological testing. Additionally, serial dilution can help determine the original concentration of bacteria in a sample by calculating the dilution factor.
What organism yellow green on blood agar?
Streptococcus pneuomoniae When this organism is tested on a blood agar plate it's colonies will be surrounded by a greenish discoloration due to alpha-hemolysis.

Do both the spread-plate and pour-plate method in a experiment produce similar bacterial counts or are they vastly different?
Both Spread-plate and pour plate method don't give the same results. Because in the case of spread plate method the inoculmn used for inoculation can't be spread in a exact volume. A little inoculmn remains stick with the spreader after spreading. On the other hand, in pour plate method it doesn't happen. So mostly, through comparing the counts by both methods, less counts are obtained in spread plate method. I am Working as a Sr. Microbiologist in a Biotech company

What causes high Aerobic plate counts in food?
inappropriete cleaning and sanitation of equipments and utensil may cause high aerobic plate count.
When a batter hits a home run does it counts as a run?
Yes, since he is crossing the plate as well.
Why direct microscopy and plate count give not a same counts?
Direct microscopy counts viable and non-viable cells, whereas plate count only counts viable cells that are able to grow and form colonies on agar plates. Additionally, plate count may underestimate the total number of viable cells due to factors like the inability of certain cell types to grow under specific conditions or the formation of aggregated cells that do not separate easily on the agar plate.

What is the difference between standard plate count and total plate count?
The white blood cell count and differential determine the number of white blood cells and the percentage of each type of white blood cell in a person's blood. These tests are included in general health examinations and help investigate a variety of illnesses, including infection, allergy, and leukemia. The white blood cell count provides a clue to the presence of illness. White cells protect the body by fighting infection and attacking foreign material. When extra white cells are needed, the bone marrow increases production. There are five types of white cells, each with different functions: neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. The differential reveals if these cells are present in a normal distribution, or if one cell type is increased or decreased. This information helps diagnose specific types of illness. Conditions or medications that weaken the immune system, such as AIDS or chemotherapy, cause a decrease in white cells. The white cell count detects dangerously low numbers of white cells. Recovery from illness can be monitored by the white cell count. Counts continuing to rise or fall to abnormal levels indicate a worsening condition; counts returning to normal indicate improvement.
Why are blood smears made with a feathered edge?
When a patient needs certain blood work done for testing of potential conditions, one way of testing the blood is by doing a blood smear. A blood smear is done by doing a finger prick, extracting a drop of blood, and placing the drop of blood on a glass laboratory microscope plate. Once the drop of blood is on the glass plate, a separate glass plate is used to spread the drop of blood out. It is done by "smearing" the blood across the bottom plate. The desired and only lab-accepted "smear" results in a feathering of the blood, or a increasingly thinning of the amount of blood across the plate, in turn creating a feathered appearance of the blood on the plate. It helps the lab chemists look at the right amount of blood for determining the results of the blood test.

How do you measure bacteria in a petri dish?
When bacteria is grown in an Agar plate, one quantitative method to measure growth is using a counting chamber. Another method is using viable plate counts.
