(8) Stationary-phase cells of Escherichia coli wereenumerated by the pour plate method on Trypticase soy agar containing 0.3% yeast extract (TSYA), violet red-bile agar, and desoxycholate-lactose agar, and by the most-probable-number method in Brilliant Green-bile broth and lauryl sulfate bro...
We found a strong correlation between parenteral vancomycin use and the subsequent development of VRE. This supports previous findings by Morris and coworkers,18 who found that patients with urinary tract infection caused by VRE were more likely to have prior exposure to parenteral vancomycin than ...
Comparison of agar dilution and antibiotic gradient strip test with broth microdilution for susceptibility testing of swine Brachyspira species Production-limiting diseases in swine caused by Brachyspira are characterized by mucohemorrhagic diarrhea (B. hyodysenteriae and "B. hampsonii") or mild co... ...
by which protein structural changes are introduced and the functionality of the proteome is diversified1,2,3. Post-translational modifications are closely associated with metabolites4,5,6, and the intimate connection between PTMs and metabolites allow PTMs to integrate different...
Thekey differencebetween Coccidia and Giardiais thatCoccidiais a subclass of microscopic, spore-forming, single-celledobligate intracellular parasitesthat causes a parasitic disease of the intestinal tract called coccidiosis. At the same time,Giardiais a genus of anaerobic flagellated protozoan parasites th...
protein breakdown processes that take place in the gastric solution. The key difference between peptones and proteoses is that peptones are proteins that form during the breakdown of proteins through digestion, whereas proteoses are enzymes that are involved in the breakdown of proteins and peptide...
Figure 1: Thioglycollate broth Semi-solid Media This type of media is soft; hence, it allows the mobility of microorganisms inside the medium. This, it can be used to separate motile microorganisms from non-motile ones. Solid Media This type of media contains added agar in order to solidify...
The key difference between tryptone and peptone is that tryptone is a water-soluble mixture of peptides created by the digestion of casein by the enzyme tr
that can live and grow in the presence or absence of the molecular oxygen. When oxygen is present, facultative anaerobes show aerobic respiration while they can switch into fermentation or anaerobic respiration when the oxygen is absent. This is the difference between obligate and facultative ...
cells in a sample. So, this is the key difference between total cell count and viable cell count. Total cell count is independent of the growth of colonies on agar plates while viable cell count is a growth-based technique and it depends on the growth of microbial colonies on agar plates...
