Prepared Slides: Bacteriology Microscope Slides

The images below were captured with the DMBA210 digital biological microscope. These prepared slides are included in the Bacteriology Prepared Slide Kit.

	Tuberculosis Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, smear from sputum showing acid-fast bacillus. TB is a common and often deadly infectious disease caused by various strains of mycobacteria in humans. TB usually attacks the lungs.		Strep Throat Streptococcus species are responsible for many cases of meningitis, bacterial pneumonia, endocarditis, erysipelas and necrotizing fascitis.
	Bacillus, Coccus, Spirillum Microscope slide of three types of bacteria. Cocci are spherical or oval in shape. Bacillus are rod-shaped. Spirillum are spiral shaped.		E Coli Escherichia Coli is a rod-shaped bacterium that is commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms. Most strains are harmless.
	Staphylococcus Staphylococcus Auresu causes boils, abscesses and suppuration in wounds. Staphylococcus is a genus of gram-positive bacteria. Under the microscope they appear round and form grape-like clusters.		Pneumonia Diplococcus Pneumoniae is the coccus that causes pneumonia.
	Lactobacillus (Yogurt) Lactobacillus Bulgaricus, pure culture from yogurt. Some lactobacillus and other lactic acid bacteria may possess potential therapeutic properties including anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activities. Learn more here.		Helicobacter Pylori A gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium that can inhabit various areas of the stomach and duodenum. It causes a chronic low-level inflammation of the stomach lining.
