- A surgical technologist working in the Central Sterile Processing Department is asked to run the steam sterilizer (autoclave) with a biological monitor for the first load of the day without any instrument trays or items. Which type of bacteria would be used to test the autoclave?While conducting the Hydrogen Sulfide Test (SIM Agar) you open up one of the tubes and it gives off a rotten egg smell while another tube you cultured does not. What does the smell indicate? How come there was no change in color in the tube that indicated a positive test? Please explain how the color change is to occur. Think critically.Below is a diagram of the serial dilution of a culture with 1 x 10º cells. Fill out the missing information. 250 Culture Diluent 1 x 10° cells/mL 9 mL 9 mL 9.9 mL 9.9 mL 99.9 mL Volume to add to diluent Final Dilution level Theoretical count after plating 100 uL
