microbiology || ANSWERED
acquired resistance - ANS > Bacterial resistance that develops through mutation or

alpha hemolysis - ANS > A green zone around the bacterial colony - a-hemolytic
bacteria produce an enzyme that causes a partial breakdown of hemoglobin in the
RBCs in the medium which results in the green colour
Bacteriology - ANS > study of bacteria
beta hemolysis - ANS > A clear zone seen around a bacterial colony growing on blood

Community-based infection - ANS > Infections acquired outside of a healthcare facility
culture pathogen - ANS > -determines susceptibility of the bacteria to specific
antibiotic

experience, rather than a knowledge of the precise cause for the disorder.
gamma hemolysis - ANS > No hemolysis, and no change in the blood agar around the
colony
HAI - ANS > Healthcare-associated infection
Inoculation - ANS > In microbiology, refers to adding a specimen to some type of
culture medium
macroscopically - ANS > without the aid of a microscope
Media - ANS > A liquid or gel designed to support the growth of micro organisms.
There are different types of media suitable for growing different types of cells
Microscopically - ANS > so small as to be invisible or indistinct without the use of the

MRSA - ANS > methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus
Multidrug-resistant organisms - ANS > bacteria that are resistant to one or more
classes of antimicrobial drugs
Mycology - ANS > study of fungi
