It is a type of technique that uses cotton swab or inoculating loop and primary quadrant is diluted into secondary, tertiary so the individual colonies may be formed?

The sample is pipetted onto the surface of agar plate, after incubation the typical microorganism is aerobic.

It can be used to determine the number of microbes/ml in a specimen, it often used to assay bacterial contamination of foodstuff. Obligate aerobes may grow poorly.

All strokes of the loop or needle are done in a single forward direction.

Total volume/ Volume of aliqout

Volume solute/ Total Volume

Colony count multiply by reciprocal of dilution

The number of colonies counted multiply by conversion factor of inoculating loop

Example of Dilution Factor

Interpret the result:

35,657 CFU/ml

Interpret the result:

7,000 CFU/ml

Interpret the result:

235,000 CFU/ml

T or F

In the pour-plate technique, after diluted several times where the last test tube is T10, the next step is to get another test tube to perform the last procedure.

T or F

In the pour-plate technique, after diluted several times where the last test tube is T10, the next step is to get another test tube to perform the last procedure.

The advantage of pour plates is that embedded colonies are too much smaller than those which happen to be on the surface.

One disadvantage is that it doesn't require previously prepared plates.

What is the best thing to do if the result of the Colony Forming Unit (CFU) is suggestive?

Measure of rate of killing of bacteria by an antimicrobial agent?

Measures the susceptibility of a bacterial isolate to a combination of two or more antimicrobial agents?

Measure of highest dilution or titer of a patient's serum that is inhibitory to patient's own infecting bacterium and highest dilution or titer that is bactericidal?

Measure of lowest concentration of antimicrobial agent that kills a bacteria isolate?

Measure amount of antimicrobial agent in serum or body fluid?

It is a tube that is needed for MIC test, it is a test for bacterial suspension that has turbidity?

True or False

MIC is a test for identify the amount of antimicrobial agent require to enhance the bacterial growth.

In clinical situations it needs to be cidal to affect a successful outcome for the patient.

Is defined as the lowest concentration of antimicrobial agents that showed no growth or no turbidity?

VRE Stands for

All of the following is true for MBC except:

It is impregnated with various concentration of antibiotics?

Antimicrobial agents that are bactericidal for Escherichia coli?

What tube is the dilution for MBC?

What tube is the dilution for MIC?

True or False

You can perform MBC test without MIC test.

In performing MBC test, it is performed only in broth.
