Question

QUESTION 11 While preparing a batch of Mac Conkey agar you accidentally added glucose into the medium along with other desired ingredients. What would be the impact of this error in the test? Distinction of coliforms from other enteric pathogens won't be possible. Sensitivity of the test is compromised. The test shows false negatives in terms of selection of bacteria. Specificity of the test is compromised. Gram positive bacteria would grow as well because Glucose is the simplest sugar and almost all bacteria utilize it. False positives result in terms of fermentation would show up in the test.
