MCB 2004C Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Lysis, Bacterial Cell Structure, Neutral Red
Document Summary
Study guide for mcb 2004 laboratory midterm (lab manual page 1) microbiology labs are classiied according to risk of infecions posed by the organisms studied. How are they classiied (i. e. , what determines whether a laboratory is bsl-3 vs. bsl-4). Lvl 1: work with microbes that do not cause disease in healthy individuals. Lvl 2: work with organisms associated with human disease but not spread by aerosol. Lvl 3: work with organisms that can cause serious human disease transmited through aerosol. Lvl 4: work with life threatening organisms that can be spread by aerosol or unknown methods. Ours, like most labs, is a lvl 2. (lab manual page 3) familiarize yourself with all the steps in performing an asepic transfer. What are bedside inoculaions, why are they used, and give examples of what types of bacterial infecions bedside inoculaions are appropriate for.
