Man, everybody said Molly was harsh to the student. but it's all wrong! she is hella nice! she taught me lots of stuff and she is actually a very knowledgable tech, she knows what she is doing and I pick up a lot of valuable skills from her. and what surprised me is.....she actually went over all the exam objective w. me today!!! i basically don't have to study! OMG!!!! she is so nice. I love it! There are so many Enterococcus today, I can actually regconize it right away when I see it. so is Staphylococcus aureus and E.coli. There are pretty easy. Molly taught me the three S and Three P for the non-lactose Fermenter. They are: Salmonella, Shigella, Serratia, Acintobactor, Provendencia, Proteus, and Pseudomonas. They are very useful. Also, to self: remember that

• GPC grow weaker on Maconky w/o 5% CV.
  
• Gram negatives colonies should have similar size when comparing Blood agar and Maconky coz they are not inhibited.
• beta-latamase test for the presence of the enzyme.
  
• penicillin sensitive on AST doesn't mean susceptible in vivo. since the organism might produce beta-latamase which cleaves the beta-lactam ring.
• or, if it's a GNR (they all have beta-latamase), they will have a extended spectrum beta-lactam resistance like Klebsialla and E.coli.
• susceptibility patter: Proteus mirabuls is alway Ampicillin sensitive whereas P.vulgaris is always Ampicillin resistance
  

One bad thing happened, Jenny the micro supervisor actually remembered me turned down the micro job last year. She said I love chemistry more then micro.....haha, so x. can't believe she can still remember me. but anyway....i guess i'm not going to work there anymore. shit.
