A swab for culture is received from a doctor's office. The staff forgot to mention the source from where the swab was taken and the climc was closed for next few days.What different selective/differential media may be helpful to you to identify the organism. Explain very briefly your rationale for using the particular culture media.

You were tasked to prepare four petri plates. Three of the petri dishes were inoculated using different samples. The plates were prepared from the following: Plate A: oral swab after brushing Plate B: cat’s paw Plate C: exposed in air for one hour Plate D: uninoculated The plates were incubated at 37˚C for 24 hours. The following results were obtained: 1. Compare the growth of the cultures found in Plates A, B, C and D. Which among the four plates has shown the most growth? Why do you think so? 2. Describe the appearance and abundance of the colonies found in your four plates. What possible type of microorganisms are found in your plates? 3. Although sparse, there is still visible growth of microorganisms in Plate D (uninoculated plate). Where do you think the microorganism came from? REFERENCES:

You have identified two colony types A and B on the streak plate. Now briefly describe (in 3-4 sentences) the process of how you identified the cellular morphology/arrangement of each isolate. Again, assume you have all the necessary equipment and materials at your disposal. Be concise and thorough, not verbose; e.g., refer to the Gram stain, but describing the details of each step is not necessary.
