Bacterial Flow Chart Activity
Use the two flow charts to answer the following questions.
What is the first test one would perform?
In the group that stained Gram + what two shapes are found?
Cocci are divided into two types the Catalase +______and the Catalase - ______.
Staphylococci form colonies of two colors. They are?
Yellow colonies represent______
White colonies represent______
What other test might be performed to confirm the identification?
Haemolysis
Many species of the genus streptococcus cause hemolysis. Streptococcal bacteria species are classified according to their hemolytic properties.
· Alpha-hemolytic species oxidize the iron in the hemoglobin (turning it dark green in culture).
· Beta-hemolytic species completely rupture the red blood cells (visible as a halo in culture).
· Gamma-hemolytic, or non-hemolytic, species do not cause hemolysis and rarely cause illness.
According to the follow chart, what are some of the diseases caused by Streptococci?
Bacilli are divided into 2 groups; list and define the 2 groups.
What bacterium causes diphtheria?
What bacterium causes Anthracis Cereus?
What are the 3 types of Clostridia?
Now looking at the Gram- flow chart---
What 2 shapes are represented?
If we have identified a gram- cocci what 2 diseases might it produce?
How would we distinguish between the above?
Use another resource to define:
Aerobe
Obligate Aerobe
Facultative
Obligate anaerobe
What is caused by the Bacilli Bordetella?
What would we use chocolate agar to identify?
Name the bacilli that is obligate aerobe that produces a green pigment?
Name an obligate anaerobe.
The facultative group of bacilli is further divided into three group, they are?
The group known as E. Coli are associated with 2 types of illnesses, they are?
The bacilli Klebsiella causes______.
The non lactose fermenters include or friend ______and ______.
Shigella can be further identified as a ______and causes______.
Proteus is associated with this illness, ______, these bacilli also have ______to increase their motility.
