Attached below is the study about the effects of handwashing and the effectiveness of soap against bacteria. What conclusions can be generated from this result? (see rubrics
for the point marking)
A before washing hands
C
10 second hand wash
B
D
hot water only rinse
30 second hand wash
Figure 8: Agar plates with bacteria A) before washing hands B) after rinsing hands in hot water C) After washing
hands with soap for 10 seconds and D) after washing hands for 30 seconds. Images show that the number of
bacteria on the plate are not greatly reduced after a hot water rinse or 10 second handwash but bacterial levels are
reduced after a proper hand wash for 30 seconds.
The first step for directly linking a microbe to a specific disease according to Koch's postulates is to
A.isolate microbes from the blood of healthy animals.
B. culture the blood or other body fluid from a diseased animal using nutrient medium.
C. inject a sample of blood or other body fluid from a diseased animal into a healthy animal.
D. obtain a sample of blood or other body fluid from a diseased animal.
the following are the steps, listed in random order, for utilizing koch's postulates. what should be the second step out of the four listed?
a. a microorganism is found to be present in every case of a disease.
b. the same microbe discovered previously is isolated from the purposely infected host
c. the pathogen is isolated and grown in pure culture
d. the same disease results after isolated organism is inoculated into healthy host
