Bacterial ID Lab at HHMI (Key)

Also recommend that you go over the site with students when giving the assignment to familiarize them. This is an ADVANCED LAB, most basic freshman lever biology classes do not need to cover PCR techiques. www.hhmi.org >> resources & publications >> students >> biointeractive >> virtual labs > "The Bacterial Identification Lab" The procedures necessary for extracting and isolating DNA of an unknown bacteria are costly, time consuming, and can even be dangerous in that it can expose a lab technician to pathogens. Prepare a sample from a patient and isolate whole bacterial DNA. Instructions: The virtual lab is divided into six sections that walk you through the procedures involved.

Sample Prep 1. 2. 3. PCR Amplification 4. 5. 6. 7. PCR Purification. Flow Chart of Identification Process for Bacteria. Microbiology powerpoints lectures. History of Vaccine Schedule. Every year since 1995 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) has endorsed an annual childhood immunization schedule.

History of Vaccine Schedule

Prior to 1995, these groups updated the immunization schedule every few years as needed. The first vaccines: Smallpox, diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis Edward Jenner invented a method to protect against smallpox in 1796. Vaccine denialism. Fears about vaccines were excusable when they were new, but present concerns are groundless.

Vaccine denialism

The Anti-vaccination movement (or vaccine hysteria) is an irrational trend of mistrust of vaccination that is almost as old as the technique itself. The movement (more mockingly referred to as "Anti-vaxxers") blame vaccines, or their ingredients, for a range of maladies whose mechanisms are rejected or have not been explained by current scientific research. Some of these maladies can often be childhood illnesses in order to increase the emotive factor of the argument. The ubiquity of vaccination often makes it an easy target for blame. Vaccine-preventable diseases have been a major cause of illness, death, and disability throughout human history. Microbiology Laboratory METX119L.

Microbes in Action: Classroom Activities. Society for General Microbiology. Biotechnology Program Under Toxic Substances Control Act(TSCA) Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), EPA regulates the use of intergeneric microorganisms in commerce or commercial research.

Biotechnology Program Under Toxic Substances Control Act(TSCA)

EPA considers intergeneric microorganisms to be those formed from organisms in different genera (genera is the plural of genus, which is a level in a taxonomic classification system based on the relatedness of organisms) or those microorganisms formed with synthetic DNA not from the same genus. MicrobeWiki. MicrobeWiki is a free wiki resource on microbes and microbiology, authored by students at many colleges and universities. Curated pages such as those linked to the Taxonomy Index are reviewed and updated by microbiologists at Kenyon College. Student pages authored independently, or for coursework, are not monitored further. Interested readers are encouraged to add information, after registering a free account.
