Antibiotic Resistance—
Super Value Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Many prescription bottles warn of the importance to take on time as directed and
to finish the entire contents of the bottle. Students will obtain data by tracking the
population of three different strains of bacteria, represented by three different colored
bingo chips, throughout the antibiotic treatment. When the antibiotics are taken on
time, every time, the bacteria will gradually become eliminated starting with the
least resistant to most resistant. However, if a dose (or more) is missed the bacterial
populations will grow. Students will construct a graph of their results and analyze the
effects of the antibiotics on three strains having different antibiotic resistance levels.
Watch as they finally understand the why the elusive prescription directions are so
important! Includes preactivity questions, reproducible student worksheet and post
lab questions and Teacher Notes.
Super Value Kit is complete for 30 students working in pairs. All materials are reusable!

Antibiotic Sensitivity Testing—
Student Laboratory Kit
By: Don Gage, John Stark High School, Weare, NH
The purpose of the lab is to expose students to the fundamental procedures used by
microbiologists to inoculate, culture and analyze bacterial cultures. After learning
basic bacteriological techniques, students determine whether a culture of E. coli is
resistant, intermediately sensitive or sensitive to a series of five antibiotics. These are
the same techniques originally used in hospital laboratories to determine the most
effective treatment for infections.
Sufficient nutrient agar, sterile Petri dishes, sterile applicator swabs and antibiotic
sensitivity disks are provided for 100 students working in pairs. An autoclave or pressure
cooker and a live culture of E. coli are required and available separately.

Bacterial Pollution (Coliform)—
Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Students determine the presence or absence of coliform bacteria (indicative of
untreated sewage and potentially pathogenic bacteria) in water supplies. By
observing a dramatic color change that occurs in a lactose broth medium, students
determine whether coliforms are present. Includes 25 tubes of lactose broth medium
with chlorophenol red indicator, sterile transfer pipets and instructions.
Full-size kits are complete for 25 tests. Small-size kits are complete for 5 tests. Refill
kits contain materials only.

Effects of Disinfectants and
Antiseptics on Bacteria—
Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Provide your students with a hands-on look at the real-world effectiveness of various
antibacterial substances on bacteria. Students thoroughly investigate and compare
several antiseptic and disinfectant products, such as soap, alcohol and bleach. With
the buzz in the media about bacterial resistance, you will definitely hold a captive
audience while discussing this important topic! Student instructions, worksheets
and Teacher’s Notes included.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs. Bacillus megaterium (LM1002) is
required and available separately.
