KROK 1 2016 – Question 21 · KROK (Medicine) · Microbiology, Virology, and Immunology
Initial inoculation of water in 1% peptone water resulted in growth of a thin film on the medium surface in 6 hours. Such cultural properties are characteristic of causative agent of the following disease:
- A. Plague
- B. Tuberculosis
- C. Cholera
- D. Dysentery
- E. Pseudotuberculosis
Hint
A thin surface film after just 6 hours says something about the organism's oxygen requirement and growth speed; ask which pathogens grow that fast on a simple enrichment medium.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
