Why are antibiotics frequently added to sabouraud agar for isolating fungi from clinical samples?

Biology

jonny [76]3 years ago
8 0

Antibiotics such as cycloheximide are frequently added to sabouraud agar for isolating fungi from clinical samples because most fungi grows and multiply slowly at least compared with bacteria that grows rapidly after 24hours. Incorporation of antibiotics into the agar will prevent the growth of bacteria and also other environmental fungal such as Aspergillus spp.

defon

Answer:

muscle contraction increases interstitial fluid pressure and compresses the blood vessels within the active muscle. As a consequence, blood flow is highest when muscles relax between successive muscle contractions.

Natural and artificial selection depend on genetic and phenotypic variation. In natural selection, the selective pressure comes
otez555 [7]
<h2>B) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

Natural selection is a selection pressure which operates in a population and allow the best fitted genotype to survive in changing environmental conditions and eliminate the other genotype which are not fit

In artificial selection, breeders select superior breed for the breeding purpose so that this type of selection favors the superior genotype and eliminates inferior genotype, thus leading to genetic drift

Stabilizing selection is a type of natural selection in which intermediate genotype is favored but extreme genotypes (inferior and superior) are eliminated

In the given example of pigmentation in pigeons, breeding is selectively done with intermediate pigmentation hence intermediate genotypes will be favored

Antibiotic resistance in bacteria is the result of
Natalija [7]
C. Genetic variation

Bacteria are very numerous,  and random mutation of bacterial DNA generates a wide variety of change, including resistance. It happens through mutation and selection. Not only are they capable of sharing genetic bits of DNA to related and unrealted species they can develop ways to remove the antibiotic before it reaches its intended area via biochemical pumps or enzymes to inactiavte the antibiotic.
