Today we prepared 3 labs that we will do in the double block.  They are:  Distribution of Bacteria,  Gram Staining and Antibiotic Resistance in bacteria.   You should have read through these labs and know the techniques you will use on Thursday.   Make sure you have a "mini lab" set up with the title, purpose and data table if required.   Videos below will review lab techniques and gram staining.
