A clinician conducted a Kirby-Bauer Test to determine the sensitivity of Micrococcus luteus isolated from a hospitalized patient. The results/ zone of inhibition are shown in table 1 below.  The interpretive standards are shown in table 2.  A. Compare the results to the interpretive standards. Indicate whether or not the bacterium tested is sensitive, intermediate, or resistant to each of the antibiotics tested. B. Based on these results, which antibiotic should be prescribed to treat the patient’s infection? Explain your reasoning.   C. Based on these results, which antibiotic would be the worst choice? Explain your reasoning.  Table 1: Results  Antibiotic  Zone of Inhibition (mm) Amoxicillin 10 mm Doxycycline 12 mm Ciprofloxacin  23 mm Tetracycline  13 mm   Table 2: Interpretative Standards  Antibiotic  Sensitive  Intermediate Resistant  Amoxicillin 

Why have different anole/lizard species evolved to occupy different parts of the habitats?

True or False: When performing the Kirby-Bauer test, bacteria that are susceptible/sensitive to an antibiotic will have a large zone of clearing/inhibition around the antibiotic disk. 

True or False: Exotic species are species that are native to an ecosystem in which they evolved. 

How does Ken Liu use flashbacks in the story?

True or False: Antiviral medications are used to treat bacterial and viral infections. 

Peppered Moth Matching:  Match the peppered moth morphs with their description. 

Which of the following is true of peppered moth larvae?

What do the four groups of anoles (trunk-crown, twig, trunk-ground, and grass-bush) represent?

Since the species-area relationship states that the amount of species is related to the area of the habitat, _________________ will support more species.
