A style of communication in which much of the information is contained in the contexts and nonverbal cues rather than expressed explicitly in words is referred to as _____ communication.

Groups with most power determine what the acceptable communication system of an entire society will be.

Hand gestures and movements that accompany speech are called:

Several patients in the burn care unit at a major hospital have experienced wound infections with a gram-negative bacillus demonstrating increased antimicrobial resistance. The colonies are large and grey on BAP and clear on MAC. Based on the additional biochemical reactions below, what is the most likely identification of the organism causing the outbreak of infections in the unit? Adonitol = negative Citrate = peacock blue Indole = positive Inositol = positive Gelatin = negative Maltose = negative Motility = positive Moeller Ornithine = yellow Moeller Base = yellow PAD = positive TSI = K/A Urea = negative VP = negative

Given the following biochemical reactions, identify the organism: TSI = yellow / yellow Indole = neg Motility = pos Citrate = pos DNAse = neg MR / VP = neg / pos Moeller ornithine = purple Moeller lysine = yellow Moeller base = yellow PAD = neg

Given the following reactions, chose the best answer to identify the organism: Urea = Positive ONPG = Positive TSI = yellow/yellow Ornithine = Positive                MAC = clear colonies Indole = variable       MR = Positive             PAD = Negative                      DNase = Negative Motility = Negative               Nitrate = Positive                 Gram negative bacilli

Given the following reactions, identify the organism: MAC = pink colonies Indole = Negative Motility = Positive Citrate = Positive MR = Positive Ornithine = Negative Lysine = Negative TSI = Yellow/black ONPG = Positive PAD = Negative VP = Negative Sorbitol = Positive

Given the following reactions, chose the best answer to identify the organism.    MAC = Clear colonies Citrate = Positive                    Urea = hot pink VP = Negative             TSI = Red/Yellow                     PAD = Green after FeCl3 DNase = Negative                   Ornithine = negative               Motility = Positive Inositol = Positive                  Indole = Positive                     Adonitol = Positive

Match the organism with the MOST appropriate medium for optimal growth or identification. 

An enteric organism that produces an alkaline (purple) butt in lysine iron agar is:  1. Lysine decarboxylase positive  2. Lysine deaminase positive 3. Producing hydrogen sulfide 4. Glucose positive
