Yes, you read that right. A stool culture was s/o to xld and mac. The colonies are buried into the xld and mac agar after 24 hours. Colonies are dug out and g/s. The g/s = GNB. They are lactose fermenters too. They look like little beads in the agar. Dug those out and s/o to a bap/mac bi plate, and chocolate. The GN broth at 24 hours was s/o to a fresh xld and mac agar. Today there is ng on the Chochlate, Bi plate and xld/mac (from gn broth). Dug more colonies out of the primary plates and inoculated then into a Thio broth and a TSB. Re incubated all plates and put the Chocolate one in a CO2 incubator. Has anyone encounter this before? Will post results of this set up tomorrow.

Here at the state lab we use sheep blood agar for aerobes. For my section, the Enteric Pathogen section, I use XLD and MAC for pure cultures.

What if you could find a way for your body to regenerate your organs so they won't break down?

They are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Cute! Now I know what to get my crew for Christmas!

You can also go to the State lab and talk to the microbiologist who work with the bugs. We in the Enterics section do NARMS testing for every 20 Salmonella we ID. Edit to fix spelling.....

Well I never thought that a transplanted organ would have the rabies virus. I knew that the virus could stay alive for some peoriods of time, but since the organs were kept cooled, the virus stayed alive mich longer. I think that when a person dies that their brain should be check for the rabies virus, esp if it's neurological.

I think the virus is very "Smart." It travels up your nerves, gets into your brain and takes over. Then it travels down to your salivary glands. It also causes severe throat spams that it's extremely painful to swallow, hence hydrophobia. The virus makes the infected mammal bite anything near it in order to spread. JMHO of course. Imagine the panic if it became airborne or mutated so mosquito's could spread it.......

Go to the Remel's and API's websites. That's a good start. I work with Difco and Bacto "H" and "O" antisera.

Hello! How are you today? I'm a Microbiologist and I ride horses. I graduated from AUM (Auburn University at Montgomery) in 2002 and I work for the Alabama State Lab. I'm am 27 years old. I am trained in: DFA Rabies testing per CDC protocol and process in specimens (opening animal heads, dissecting brains) Gonostat Enterics (which I'm working now) E.coli 0157:H7 testing per Reference (CDC) protocol Processing Parasitology I really enjoy Reference Bacteriology and Enteric pathogens. I also ride hunter/Jumper horses and have 2 of my own; a Thoroughbred and a Hanoverian/Thoroughbred. I horse show on the weekends and train my own horses. We also have a Bioterrorism lab here and we work with the FBI when something with Anthrax comes here. It's really cool.
