Answer:

<em>S. aureus</em> is spherical and arranged in clusters

Explanation:

<em>Staphylococcus aureus </em>is a gram positive bacteria that forms a part of our body microbiota. It is usually found on skin and in upper respiratory tract. The genus name of this organism is <em>Staphylococcus </em>which tells a lot about its morphology. Cocci or coccus is the name given to bacteria who appear spherical. Staph points out to their arrangement which is in clusters. Had it been <em>Streptococcus</em>, it would mean that the bacteria were spherical and arranged in long chains. Similarly, <em>Diplococcus</em> would mean that the bacteria were spherical and arranged in groups of two. Hence from the name <em>Staphylococcus aureus </em> we can say that it is spherical and arranged in clusters.

Can the existing avian influenza virus be transferred from one human host to another? Why or why not?
Rudiy27

Answer:

Hello, As long as the bird flu virus doesn't change into a human flu virus, it won't spread far in people. But sometimes after close personal contact a person who gets bird flu does infect another person. They can get the virus from tainted surfaces, such as cages and other farming equipment. Most people with the virus have had direct contact with infected poultry or objects contaminated with bird feces or secretions. Until now, very few cases of human-to-human transmission have occurred. Hope That Helps!

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Explanation:

As a microbiologist there are different methods are devised for characterization of microbes.such as Macroscopic analysis and microscopy method.

With the help of microscope the needed information about the individual cell such as individual cellular characteristics can be obtained, the magnification help to provide the features such as size, shape and motility of the microbes which helps to know the specific microbes characters.

When handling an unknown environmental microbe, with help of the cell characteristics of the microbes obtained using the microscope, the identity as well as metabolic characterization can be known such as the type of environment the microbes can survive in(aerobic or anaerobic), the source of food.

No growth was observed on the control plate.

The growth on the control plate indicates that the aseptic technique devised in the model was an adequate method for the prevention of the control plate from been contaminated.
