45-year-old male had been working in his garden when he scratched the knuckle of his right arm during digging in ground with a spade, he immediately washed the area but noticed later that night that the knuckle became red, warm to the touch and swollen. He went to the hospital, the doctor ordered a Gram stain and culture on the pus extracted from the wound. The culture grew the following organism and the Gram stain from the wound showed the following results:Based on the previous results, answer the following questions:1. As a microbiologist, describe what you see on the Gram stain taken from the wound site. And give a preliminary report on what you see on the culture plates. What is the probable Genus and species?2. Name 2 tests that can be done to positively identify this organism.3. What are the media used to culture the sample, and what is the type ofhemolysis seen?
You are working in a lab studying Streptococcus pyogenes as a cause of necrotizing fasciitiis.  You have an overnight culture that you want to know the starting concentration of, so do a set of six 1:10 serial dilutions (putting 1 mL from the stock into a 9 mL blank), with tube #1 being 1:10, #2 is 1:100, etc.    You plate 0.1 mL from tube 5 onto a blood agar plate and the next morning count 134 colonies.  How many bacteria (measured in CFU/mL) were in the overnight culture flask? A. 1.34 x 10^4 CFU/mL B. 1.34 x 10^5 CFU/mL C. 1.34 x 10^6 CFU/mL D. 1.34 x 10^7 CFU/mL E. 1.34 x 10^8 CFU/mL F. cannot tell based on the data given - you'd need to know the volume of the original culture flask
Isolate #2: Cell Morphology (shape) а. b. Isolate #2: Gram stain result Gram Postive. (The color I see on my screen is purple.) c. List at least two genera (not species) of bacteria that are consistent with the Gram reaction and morphology you observed. d. Are any of these genera are normal flora on the skin? If so which one(s)? ***Please answer the four questions base on the picture provided.***
