Question

What is your preliminary idea(s) of the species of bacteria responsible for anna's infection? has your idea changed since the last activity? explain your reasoning?

Answer 1

For Anna’s case, my preliminary idea of the species of bacteria responsible for Anna’s infection is a Gram-negative bacterium as observed in gross examination of the colony. With this, my idea has not changed since the last activity for the bacteria was rod-shaped when we view it through a microscope and the color of the colonies was pink after we Gram stained it, which indicate that it is Gram-negative.
