< Previous– 20 – Ilvana Çaklovica Küçükkaya Candida auris has been portrayed as a large predatory fish, especially in intensive care units, which started to cause epidemics by insidiously growing in the world, and caused difficulties in treatment due to its antifungal resistance profile. In this agar artwork, different Candida species (Candida auris, Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis and Candida krusei) were inoculated on Chromagar Candida Plus medium, which was used for the first time in Turkey. Candida auris: Emerging into The World of Fungi AGAR ART– 21 – Merica Carev EPEC is a common, but neglected pathogen and a cause of diarrhea in children. It looks very nice cultivated at ENDO agar. Department of Gastrointestinal Infection Diagnosing at Public Health Institute of Split-Dalmatia County sends holiday greetings with ENDO EPEC Agar Art. Merry Christmas AGAR ART– 22 – Merica Carev Dalmatia is full of natural beauty and aromatic plants. The lavender tree is well known for it’s nice smell and calming, and air disinfecting effect. That’s what we need in a post-covid era: nature and disease prevention. Lavender tree in Dalmatia, Croatia AGAR ART– 23 – Marialaura Corrente Thisis a project of scientific education involving the students of a middle school and a high school in Apulia, Italy. Under the guidance of five teachers of the Department of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Bari, they are learning the main concepts about microbiology. In the context of theproject“Adopt a microbe!” each of them has “adopted” a giant microbe, i.e. a plush in the shape of bacteria, viruses, etc. Improving their knowledge, the students can learn the difference between good and harmfulmicrobes.This picture is the result of a team work in the lab.

Thus my work represents a gingerbread man, a sweet you cannot eat.

Palm tree AGAR ART– 27 – Stefan Galbau The artwork was done on Macconkey Agar using bacteria such as Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus, Serratia marcescens and Staphylococcus aureus. I was inspired by the Disney film Alice in Wonderland and the wacky character, The Chesire Cat. AGAR ART Cheshire Cat– 28 – Stefan Galbau The plate shows an artistic take on a sheme of an E. Coli which was created using E. Coli for some parts of it, thus the title “E. Coli Inception“. Other bacteria used were Enterococcus, Proteus, Stafylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae. E. Coli Inception AGAR ART– 29 – Luna Girolamini This is a plate of Legionella GVPC Selective Agar with a drawing of a christmas tree made with Legionella anisa that is grown on. I subcultured this Legionella due to their white-blue autofluorescence under UV lamp (365nm), to say “”Merry Christmas”” to my collegues, and also to show to our students that the bacteria are not only a colony, but it is also possible to create something cool with them! Merry Legio-xmas to everyone!! Merry LegioChristmas AGAR ARTNext >
