Bacteria and Antibiotic Lab Write Up

I. Overview The goals of the Bacteria and antibiotic lab are to observe the effect of five different types of antibiotics on the growth pattern of several different strains of bacteria. Also, individually each person will learn and practice aseptic technique in bacterial culture. Each group in the class will test out antibiotics on a different strain of bacteria, and the class data will be compiled and examined. II. Procedure I followed the given procedure …
