Q

-the most effective way to isolate a single type of
bacteria from a source that contains many by diluting the individual cells by spreading them over the surface of an agar plate using a platinum or inoculating loop of 2-4 mm diameter.

16
Q

-a method routinely employed in clinical bacteriology and enables the isolation of distinct colonies which may be picked out, if necessary for further
purification and study

A

SURFACE PLATING

17
Q

-selective media for diphteria bacillus

A

tellurite media

18
Q

-favor the multiplication of particular species as a step towards their isolation in
pure culture.

A

ENRICHMENT MEDIA

19
Q

-enrivchment media for Salmonella sp.

A

SELECTIVE BROTH

20
Q

-contain ingredients that change in appearance with particular organisms and so assist their isolaion.

A

INDICATOR MEDIA

21
Q

-indicator media for Clostridium sp.

A

WILLIS & HOBBS MEDIUM

22
Q

-can be used to separate spores from vegetative bacilli but does not guarantee that spores will germinate under subsequent cultural conditions.

A

HEATING WITH HIGHER TEMPERTURE FOR SHORTER PERIODS.

23
Q

This method is the standard
practice for the isolation of tubercle bacilli from sputum and other clinical specimens, by treatment with alkali, acid or other substances to which most commensals are
susceptible but tubercle bacilli are resistant.

A

PRETREATMENT OF SPECIMENS W/ APPROPRIATE BACTERICIDAL SUBSTANCE

24
Q

-Only thermophilic bacteria at:

A

60ºC.

25
Q

-of a tube of semisolid agar, with a narrow tube open at both ends placed in the center of the medium in such a way that it projects above the
level of the agar.

A

CRAIGES TUBE

26
Q

-also serves the same purpose, inoculation being performed in one
limb and the subculture taken from the other. This method can also be used to obtain
phase variants in Salmonella species

A

U-TUBE

27
Q

-Is inoculated subcutaneously into a mouse, the animal dies of pneumococcal septicemia in 12 to 48 hours and the organism can be obtained in
pure culture from the heart blo

A

PNUEMOCOCCUS

28
Q

-can be distinguished from other aerobic
sporulating bacilli by inoculation into mice or guinea pigs. Anthrax bacilli produce a
fatal septicemia and may be cultured pure from the heart blood

A

ANTHRAX BACILLI

29
Q

-s can be isolated from
contaminating organisms by inoculation of an infected specimen into a guinea pig. The tubercle bacillus is found in a pure state in the resulting lesion

A

TUBERCLE BACILLUS

30
Q

-Bacteria of differing sizes may be separated by the use of selective this,
-this are widely used for separating viruses from bacteria
