First week
I am very happy about my Internship, first week was full of new things! I got familiar about my working place, food safety issues & rules at the lab. My supervisor provided all necessary information and my responsibilities here.
This week was more less introductory week where I have been doing “fake” experiments” in order for me to get more confident before start working on my real project.
This week I have been doing experiments on E. Coli bacteria, the purpose of it to count colonies (colonies are the small dots on the plates) on the agar plates and see if the antibiotic cefotaxime is resitant to such bacteria. I have been preparing agar plates with and without antibiotic, after the experiment I could obviously see that using specific antibiotic the number of colonies are not so big. Likewise, the number of colonies are bigger if antibiotic is not used =>specific antibiotics kill specific bacteria.
