Lab11:BacteriaoftheSkin LearningObjectives: • Identifythegrowthofskinbacteriaondifferenttypesofselectiveanddifferentialmedia. • Identifypathogenicfromnon-pathogenicbacteria Introduction: Our skin forms the first line of defense. It has several characteristics that makes it an inhospitable environment for the growth of most microbes. Some of thesecharacteristics of skin include: high percentage of salt, low pH from 4-5.5, sebum, antimicrobial chemicals; an outer layer of dead skin cell...

Introduction The human intestinal tract is inhabited from birth by a variety of microorganisms acquired, at first, fromthe mother. Later, microbes are ingested in food and water, and from hands and objects placed in themouth. Many of those do not ...
