You plate 0.1 mL of a sample whose dilution is 10-5 and count 63 colonies after incubation. Determine the original cell density of the broth culture.

Consider the image below of the disk diffusion test results of an unknown microbe to answer the questions.   1. Based on what you can observe, select the alternative with the largest zone of inhibition. 2. Based on what you can observe, select the alternative with the smallest zone of inhibition. 3. Considering this is an unknown sample, consider if the statement below is true or false.  To report if the microbe is susceptible, intermediate, or resistant, you need the table that shows the zone of inhibition diameters. Once you have the table, you can use the results to guide the appropriate prescribing treatment.  

You plate 0.1 mL of a sample whose dilution is 10-5 and count 63 colonies after incubation. Determine the original cell density of the broth culture.

Coagulase production can give a pathogenic organism an advantage during infection because it allows the microbe to

You want to produce a 10-2 dilution of a 5 mL bacterial sample using the entire 5 mL volume. Determine the volume of the diluent.

The glycemic index is used to describe_______________________.

High responders to endurance exercise training (i.e., individuals that achieve large increases in VO2 max) can achieve up to______% improvement in VO2 max following a prolonged and intense training program.

Exercise training combined with caloric restriction results in a greater weight loss than diet alone. The physiological explanation for this observation is that:
