Ward’s Antibiotic<br />

Sensitivity Kit<br />

Study the Effects, and Effectiveness,<br />

of Commercial Antibiotics<br />

Observing the effects of six different antibiotics<br />

on Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria<br />

will give your students a clearer understanding<br />

of how antibiotics fight off infection. The<br />

commercial antibiotics included are chloromycetin,<br />

erythromycin, novobiocin, penicillin<br />

G, streptomycin, and tetracycline. The kit also<br />

includes tube cultures of Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli, instructions,<br />

and materials for one demonstration. Note: Includes perishable materials.<br />

Please specify delivery date.<br />

Antibiotic Effects Lab Activity<br />

Determine Relative Effectiveness<br />

of Three Common Antibiotics<br />

This investigation uses disks of penicillin, tetracycline, and chloroamphenicol<br />

on a culture plate. Students measure the clear “zones of inhibition”<br />

around each disk the following day to find out which of the three antibiotics<br />

was the most effective against which bacteria. For even greater convenience,<br />

the lab activity features Easygel, a pre-measured, sterilized media<br />

that requires no autoclave or hot water-bath. It includes tube cultures of<br />

Bacillus cereus, Enterobacter aerogenes, and Kocuria rhizophila; materials<br />

for six lab groups; and instructions. Note: Includes perishable materials.<br />

Test Effectiveness<br />

of Various<br />

Commercial<br />

Cleaners<br />

Do disinfectant cleaners<br />

really work as advertised?<br />

Find out by testing<br />

five disinfectant samples<br />

against two common<br />

nonpathogenic bacterial<br />

strains. Students place disinfectant disks on a bacterial culture; if it is<br />

effective against the bacteria, a clear zone will appear around the disc. It<br />

comes with tube cultures of Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli, materials<br />

for six setups, teacher’s guide, and student copymaster. Note: Includes<br />

perishable materials. Please specify delivery date.<br />
