Where is the most bacterica found in St. Rita H.S.? I think that the most bacteria in St. Rita is found in the bathroom and on the handrails. I plan to gather my material and go to the bacteria covered surface with a Q-tip. After that, I plan to swab the bacteria covered surface with a Q-tip. Next, I will place the Q-tip in an agar plate and tape the plate shut and label it. Lastly, I will throw the Q-tip away and keep the plates for 1 week (7 days) and check it everyday.
Yes, our group was incorrect because by the 2nd day the bathroom had already passed the handrail bacteria. Although the bathroom colonies were small, there were a lot of colonies compared to the handrails that had big colonies but only a few. The bathroom colonies had a color difference with the handrails colonies. The bathroom colonies were white and the handrail colonies were yellow.
There were different bacteria in the agar plates. In the handrails there was coliform and in the bathroom one we had mold and yeast. The coliform could be harmful because it is found in aquatic systems (sinks, water fountains, etc.). Coliform itself is not harmful but it can lead to other diseases such as ear infections, typhus, etc. These diseases can be harmful when linked to coliform and other links of coliform.
