The mean gestation time of a litter of puppies is approximately bell-shaped with a mean of 60 days and a standard deviation of 6 days. Using technology, what percent of gestation times are between 50 and 55 days? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.  Answer: [1]%

A sputum sample submitted for Mycobacterium culture grew numerous orange-colored colonies that stained acid-fast after three weeks of incubation in 37° C in the dark.  These characteristics are consistent with identification of this isolate as a:

Match the organism with the gram-stain reaction and morphology

 In the Kirby Bauer disk diffusion test, if the density of the inoculum used to seed a plate for an antibiotic susceptibility test is less than the standard, the zone diameter will show which of the following after proper incubation?

According to the picture shown here or a special stain from a sputum specimen,  what would be an appropriate genus of an organism that would have this type of staining characteristic? final stain pic.png

A gram-negative rod was isolated from the blood of a patient who spent time in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam war. His clinical condition started with a pulmonary infection that progressed to bacteremia and subsequent septicemia. The organism produced the following morphology on SBA and test results: P. pseudomallei 2.png TSI: alkaline/alkaline Motility: positive Oxidase: positive Oxidative/Fermentation Glucose: oxidative utilization only The MOST probable genus of this isolate is:

Culture GAS.jpg In this photograph are colonies growing on a blood agar plate.  The organism was recovered from throat of a 4 year old child who complained of sore throat and fever. The most likely identification is:
