Micro Quiz 1 Part 3

process of growing microorganisms in

culture by taking bacteria from the infection site

by specimen collection and

growing them in the lab

• Normal flora

• Cultivation

• Genus

• Species

Contain nutrients that support growth of most

nonfastidious organisms without giving any a growth

advantage

• Supportive

• Selective

• Differential

• Enrichment

Contain specific nutrients required for growth of

particular bacteria

• Selective

• Enrichment

• Differential

• Selective

Used to enhance the growth of particular bacteria by

using nutrient specificity

• Fastidious bacteria

• Selective

• Enrichment

• Selective

• Differntial

Inhibits all organisms except those wanting to grow

• Selective

• Differential

• Enrichment

• Supportive

Allows colonies of one bacterial species to exhibit

certain culture characteristics that can be used to

distinguish them from other bacteria growing on

the agar plate.

• Differntial media

• Selective media

• Supportive media

• Enrichment media

Known as supportive and differential

• Sheep blood agar

• PEA agar

• Chocolate agar

• BHI agar

Certain bacteria produce WHAT that lyse RBCS on the agar?

• Enzymes

• Colonies

• Antibiotics

• Fermentation

Gamma hemolysis is known as

• No hemolysis

• Partial hemolysis

• Complete clearing of red blood cells around colony

Produces a greenish color

• Gamma hemolysis

• Alpha hemolysis

• Beta hemolysis
