What do the results tell us about the experiment? The bacteria from all three farms were almost 100% alive in the control samples, meaning that the experiment did not work. None of the bacteria from the three farms survived in the control samples. Because the bacteria in the control were almost 100% alive, we know that any deaths of bacteria in the other samples were because of the antibiotics.

You are a good scientist, meaning that you did control samples as well. Control samples are pork food product not inoculated with anything and still held under the same temperature and time conditions. You were expecting that no growth would be found in these samples. However, you found that 10% of the samples contained some growth. Looking at the data, you find that the only bacterium these samples are contaminated with is Clostridium perfringens. What is unique about this bacterium compared to the others used in this experiment that would explain this result

Amy is doing a science experiment on how a certain bacterium reacts to an antibiotic. She has 3 dishes of identical bacterium samples with 11 bacteria in each dish. She gives an antibiotic to all of the bacteria in one dish. All of the treated bacteria died, and the bacteria in the other two dishes survived. Identify the sample size in the situation above.

Explain what evidence would be provided by the results of the experiment. a. Identify the microbes found in the stomachs of ulcer patients. b. Treat a group of ulcer patients with antibiotics. c. Place a group of ulcer patients on a strict low-acid diet. d. Obtain stomach fluid from ulcer patents and feed it to mice.
