Our Guess the Microbe poll closed! The correct microorganism is... Pasteurella multocida: https://lnkd.in/gftZvYrA Pasteurella multocida is a gram-negative bacterium commonly found in the mouths and respiratory tracts of animals like cats, dogs, and livestock. While often harmless to animals, it can cause infections in humans, especially after bites or scratches. Symptoms can include respiratory issues, abscesses, and more severe complications if left untreated.?

Pseudomonas paraeruginosa is a versatile bacterium, commonly found in environmental and clinical settings. Initially classified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027, it was redefined following genomic studies that identified distinct clades within the species. Swipe for the full microbial facts. ????

What is BAM 23? BAM 23 is the FDA's Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM) Chapter 23 Methods for Cosmetics: https://lnkd.in/g4QmnMby Covering plate counts, Pseudomonas detection, and preservative efficacy, the chapter is a great resource to follow for routine microbial testing. BAM 23 also recommends specifications for cosmetics and personal care products based on their application: - 100 CFU/g or mL for topically cosmetics intended for the eye area, mucous membranes, and children <3 years old - 1,000 CFU/g or mL for all other topical cosmetics Contact our lab to learn more about our cosmetic testing services: [email protected]

Guess the Microbe! This microorganism is a Gram-negative, coccobacillus, aerobic bacterium that is oxidase and catalase positive. It is a versatile bacterium commonly found in animals, especially in the respiratory tracts of cats, dogs, and livestock. This microbe is the most common cause of soft tissue infections following a bite or scratch from a domestic pet.
