how to clean labware
soft cloth, warm water and soap, rinse with distilled water
How to dispose chemicals and non chemical substances
chemicals: contact local waste managment
non chem: wrap in paper towel or newspaper

NO PLASTIC, WOOD, OR GLASS
types of injuries and how to treat
Chem burns: flush skin with water and add baking soda, use first aid otherwise

Includes Info: properties of chemicals, physical, health, and environment hazards; protective measures and safety
where to find Safety Data Sheets
manufactures website or google
How to pour agar plates

NIH in Maryland
Gene found: KPC
found in digestive system of animals
18 patients, 6 dead
couldn’t get rid of NIH
precautions: wear gloves, gowns, separated patients,created separate ICU, used robots, aseptic techniques
Why do antibiotics become less resistant?
Overuse
Misuse
Not finishing prescriptions
Why are there not a lot of antibiotics being produced
Antibiotic resistance is more common and they don’t want to spend $$ on creating new ones
How many infections there are in the world and if that number is accurate
We don’t know, there is no uniform reporting mechanisms or data.
Aseptic techniques
hand wash, 10% bleach clean surfaces, sterilize equipment
What are the different cultures
Mixed Culture: contain many types of microbes
Pure culture: contains species of microbe
contaminated culture: unknown microbes are exposed
Isolation techniques
streak plates
Benefit of streak plates
dilutes microbes, easier to see morphology
Shape of E. Coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, staphylococcus epidermis
all circluar, entire margin, convex, and small-moderate size
Bacterial Morphology
coccus, bacillus, spirilla
How do Cocci arrange together
Diplococci: daughter cells fail fully separate
tetrads: remain in groups of 4
sarcina: cubical packets, 8 cells-16 cells
How do bacili arrange together
diplobacilli: end to end
streptobacilli: side by side
