Microbiology

Published

I'm so happy!! Today I finished up all of the biochemical testing to determine my unknown microorganism in lab. My friend kept telling me that it was E. coli, but I wasn't too sure and kept right along testing and retesting so that I could figure it out.

I had S. marcescens. I've been worried about doing this assignment since I first saw the syllabus and now its finally over....and to top that off I got 100!!!:D

Congratulations!! I have not taken micro yet, but it sounds interesting.

You couldnt tell by the color that it was S. Morificecens??...its usually the first giveaway:)

Congratulations! We finished our testing on Tuesday, and we had Proteus vulgaris, which is what we figured from the gram negative results and the small size of the rods. I'm glad to have it done with also, now I only have 2 papers left to write!

Congrats! I just recently started micro and boy, I can't not wait to start doing all that fun stuff.... yeahhh and if ya believe that, I got some real cheap bridges to sell ya too!:p

I really hate taking pre-reqs at a large public university. While we had microbiology "lab," it was no more than show & tell in front of class. I have never seen a microbe under a microscope! This depresses me. Any chance in my Accelerated BSN program that I'll visualize tissues & pathogens under a microscope?

If I can't do it school, any chance I can shadow somebody in a lab? I don't want to be behind my classmates in this area. Besides I find this stuff interesting.

Worse comes to worse, I can pull up pics on www & pretend it's live.

Sigh.
