Microbiology 2 Flashcards
Requires oxygen
Aerobic
Can grow and function without oxygen
Anaerobic
Can provide beef/yeast extracts (peptone,mineral salts)
Enriched media
Requires specific additional additives & conditions for growth (gonorrhea)
Fastidious
Solid, liquid, semi solid are examples of
Forms of media
Gelatin like seaweed product that is liquid when heated and solid when cooled in petri dish
Agar
Equipment used in a microbiology lab
Incubator, autoclave, safety hood, refrigerator, microscopes
Transfer microorganisms into or on a culture medium for growth
Inoculation
Loops have bubble wand, needle is pointed at end
Inoculation loops/needles
C & S
Culture and sensitivity
Isolation technique/quadrant technique
1st quadrant is a swab and last 3 are loops
Used for antibiotic sensitivity testing and counting colonies
Colony count/lawn technique
Culture plate incubation period
24 hrs
Incubator temp
37 degrees C
Determines which antibiotic to use to treat bacterial infections
Sensitivity testing
