3. Suppose you do the Kirby-Bauer test on a hypothetical Staphylococcus species with penicillin and tetracycline. You record diameters of 20mm for tetracycline and 24mm for penicillin. Which antibiotic is most effective against this bacterium and why? Please explain and interpret these results. 4. There were a variety of different types of control methods used into today's lab (i.e. hot sauce, mouth wash, alcohol, etc.). Which one(s) do you think will work effectively and why? Think about what part of the cell would be affected by the control and explain.

1. You wish to determine viable counts on a culture of Bacillus subtilis. You begin by pipetting 1 ml of culture into 99 ml of sterile water. After mixing the dilution well you make a series of 4 further dilutions of 10-1 each. From the three most dilute samples, you prepare three pour plates using 1 ml in each. After incubation you find the plate counts of the plates are 16, 245 and 890 respectively. a) Show the dilution scheme. b) What is the estimated viable count (cells/ml) in the original culture? 2.
