    Preparation

    • 24 hour petri plate cultures of Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Alcaligenes faecalis (oxidase positive) and Escherichia coli or Proteus mirabilis (oxidase negative) (enough for groups to share)

    Materials

    • 24 hour petri plate cultures of Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Alcaligenes faecalis (oxidase positive) and Escherichia coli or Proteus mirabilis (oxidase negative) (enough for groups to share)
    • empty petri plates (enough for each group to have 1/2 of an empty petri plate)
    • oxidase test strips (enough for each group to have 2)
    • DI or distilled water in squirt bottles
    • sterile transfer pipettes or sterile transfer swabs (enough for each group to have 2)
