Hello.
00:01
So hearing this question, we want to provide information regarding microbial size, shape, mortality, and differentiation of spore stain, negative stain, simple strain, hanging drop slide, and in gram stain.
00:14
And then we were asked here, could the gram stain be used to diagnose the flu? well, no, it could not be used.
00:23
So gram stain cannot be used here because the influenza virus, which is the virus that causes the flu, has no cell wall.
00:31
All, which we could state.
00:37
And so looking at microbial size, so a reasonable standard for estimating organisms is the micrometer, which is multiple times larger than a meter, which is one millionth of a meter.
00:53
So there are 106 mu meters in one meter, and it is these units that are utilized to quantify, the size of microscopic organisms.
01:06
And normally, microscopic organisms extend from around 1 mu m to around 5 mu m's.
01:12
The microbial shape, so there are going to be a huge number of microbes, yet one of them are essentially of basically three unique shapes.
01:25
So some are going to be rod -like and called b -a -c -i -l -l -l -l.
01:32
And e...
