Participants will follow provided step-by-step instructions to prepare each sample for plating onto suitable microbiological media. Participants may report qualitative results of either present or absent for their samples. Three of the five samples will contain microorganisms and therefore be positive. Participants are asked to identify a positive sample by indicating present and identify a negative sample by indicating absent.
The positive microorganism may be any of the following species Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans, or Aspergillus brasiliensis, Salmonella enterica Typhi, Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica Abony.
