Abstract:

Using simple microbiological techniques, this exercise will introduce students to the variety of bacterial type present in their mouths. Enriched, selective, and differential media will be used to isolate the major aerobic and anaerobic species. Visual observations of the bacteria enhance the students' appreciation for the complex microbial world of the mouth. Note: This workshop is not included in the published proceedings volume because it was not submitted by the author.
