The following pictures show the results of a Disk Diffusion Assay for different types of
bacteria. For each bacteria, what antibiotic would you recommend be used on the
patient? Explain your choice.
1. You are asked to make 150 ml of 2% agarose using a well-known buffer. How many grams will be used?
a) 0.03 g
b) 0.3 g
c) 3 g
d) 30 g
2. Place the following reactants in their proper order for the indirect ELISA test
1 = enzyme-linked antibody
2 = known antigen
3 = patient serum
4 = substrate
Describe the mechanism of an Indirect ELISA. Why is ELISA so sensitive? Why is it necessary to block unoccupied binding sites in the microtiter wells? Why is it important to have a positive control?

What test can you do next to see if your patient indeed has a Staphylococcus aureus infection? O You can isolate the pathogen from the patient and grow it on a mannitol salt agar. Staphylococcus aureus can ferment mannitol turning the agar plate yellow. Staphylococcus erpidermis cannot ferment mannitol and the agar plate stays red. O You can isolate the pathogen from the patient and grow it on a mannitol salt agar. Staphylococcus epidermis can ferment mannitol turning the agar plate yellow. Staphylococcus aureus cannot ferment mannitol and the agar plate stays red. O There is no way you can distinguish between Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus erpidermis O you do a Gram stain. Staphylococcus aureus will stay purple as it is Gram positive and Staphylococcus erpidermis will show up as…arrow_forwardYou are interested in obtaining Staphylococcus aureus for a study investigating the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in the general population.
