Physicians’ Assistants

Another invertebrate animal that has been recruited for medical duty is the blowfly or, more precisely, blowfly larvae, commonly known as maggots (FIG. 24-32). Blowfly maggots have proved to be effective at ridding wounds and ulcers of dead and dying tissue. If such tissue is not removed, it can interfere with healing or lead to infection. Traditionally, dead tissue in wounds is removed by a physician wielding a scalpel, but maggots offer an increasingly common alternative treatment. In this treatment, a bandage containing day-old, sterile maggots is applied to the wound. The maggots consume dead or dying tissue, secreting digestive enzymes that do not harm healthy skin or bone. After a few days, the maggots have grown to the size of rice kernels and are removed. The treatment is repeated until the wound is clean.

13. Practice Calculations: 3 colonies were suspended in the following dilution series and then a viable plate count and microscope count was performed. Calculate IDF's, TDF's and then calculate the CFU/mL in each tube by both methods. Finally calculate the cells in 1 colony by both methods. Show all of your calculations in the space provided on the following pages. 3 colonies 56 cells 10 μL 10 μL 100 μL 500 με m OS A B D 5.0 mL 990 με 990 με 900 με 500 μL EN 2 100 με 100 μL 118 colonies 12 colonies
