What is this?

Close up egg with adult parasite

9

What changes in MacConkey agar to change the color of the agar?

fermentation of lactose (pink to red)

10

What do you identify in the oxidase test?

bacteria that possess the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase

11

What structure have the color seen in gram-negative cells?

thin peptidoglycan layer in their cell walls

12

What is the colloquial name for helminths?

parasitic worms

13

What do you use to sterilize the rod in the spread plate techniques?

alcohol and bunsen burner flame

14

What do you use to adjust the bacterial inoculum for turbidity?

McFarland standards

15

What type is Macconkey agar to lactose fermenters bacteria?

(WTF is this question)

- selective and differential media

- isolate and differentiate gram-negative bacteria based on their ability to ferment lactose

(microscope)

29

What is the meaning of the L in the ELISA test?

Linked

30

Order the steps to do the enterotube test

- remove the caps from both ends

- pick a colony with the inoculation wire

- inoculate all compartments

-break off the wire

-punch holes in the foil of the last eight compartments incubate

-interpret the results by comparing colors with the coding pad

31

When do you need to sterilize the rod in spread plate technique?

the rod or spreader needs to be sterilized before and after use and between streaking sections if multiple sections are used.

bacteriostatic antibiotic

35

What is the meaning of the A in ELISA test?

Assay
