What pathogen is most commonly looked for in urine samples

e. coli

2
New cards

how do we count bacteria

dilution

3
New cards

what is a dilution that involves a stepwise reduction of concentration in a series, where each step uses the previous dilution as a source, creating an exponential dilution range

serial dilution

4
New cards

what is a dilution that involves creating each concentration directly from the stock solution

full dilution

5
New cards

what is a dilution that reduces the concentration of a solution to one-tenth of its original strength

tenfold dilution

6
New cards

what is the countable range for colony forming units (CFUs)

30-300

7
New cards

What is a general method for determining the concentration of a substance in an unknown sample by comparing the unknown to a set of standard samples of known concentration

calibration curve

8
New cards

What is an analytical instrument that measures the properties of light—specifically intensity, wavelength, and frequency—across the electromagnetic spectrum.

spectrometer

9
New cards

What does a spectrometer measure

light absorbance

10
New cards

What must be known in order to plot a calibration curve

standard curve

11
New cards

What is a dilution that reduces the concentration of a solution by half in each step

twofold dilution
