The mosquito bites the mammal to transmit this disease. Choose the FALSE statement regarding malaria: O This would be considered parenteral entry. O The mosquito would be considered a reservoir. O This would be considered direct transmission. O The mosquito would be considered a biological vehicle. Question 17 Choose the false statement below. O When bacterial samples taken from the body are grown on nutrient agar medium in the lab, we see many fewer bacterial species turn up on the agar plates than were in the original sample. O Normal flora is found on all surfaces of the body exposed to the external environment including the skin, the covering of the eye, the gastrointestinal tract, the vaginal canal, and the ear canal. O Normal flora is vastly different on different people but surprisingly not so different between parts of the body.arrow_forward
- You perform a ten-fold serial dilution of a bacterial culture to determine the number of colony forming units (CFU) per mL in the culture. You then do a plate count with these growth results (no. of colonies): 1:10: too many to count; 1:100 too many to count; 1:1,000: 126 colonies; 1:10,000 14 colonies; 1:100,000: no growth The number of CFU per mL in the original culture was: 1 ml 1 ml 1 ml 1 ml Original inoculum Dilutions 1,000 126 9 ml broth in each tube 126,000 10,000 140,000 1:10 1 ml 1:100 1 ml 1:1000 1 ml 1 ml 1:10,000 1 ml 1:100,000 1 mlarrow_forwardWhich ONE of the following best describes the abbreviation ‘MIC’?
