1. Mariana’s microbiology results have led to the ruling out of any urinary tract infection (UTI), Gastroenteritis and malnutrition. The results show that her red and white cell count are within the normal range and also the epithelial cells found in the urine sample are of a moderate amount and there were no significant bacterial growth. Abnormalities in this results would have indicated to a UTI but the results were normal. According to Roche (2011), presence of bacteria, in addition to a…

Bacteria They are formed by a single rudimentary cell. They have no nucleus or plastids, but chromatin. Some have assimilators pigments. They are on earth, water, and air, and can generally move. They may be causing disease and therefore are called pathogens. Those that do not cause disease are called saprophytes. In some cases, they are even useful, as in digestive processes or synthesis of vitamins. By the way, they are called coconuts when circular; bacilli if they have the form of rods;…

Transmission of the infection probably occurs in multiple pathways, which may differ in different societies and age groups. As childhood is a period of high risk for H. pylori acquisition, a good understanding of the mode(s) of transmission in children is required to identify how to break the chain of transmission of the infection (77). The minimum infectious dose of H. pylori for humans is not yet established. In human volunteers, ingestion of 104–1010 of H. pylori after administration of…
