In fact, bacterial cells drastically outnumber somatic cells just on the external part of the human body compared to somatic cells within the whole body of a single individual. Bacteria are found just about anywhere on earth and are usually alongside other microorganisms including: mold spores or yeast cells, creating some difficulty when trying to distinguish…

ESKAPE pathogens are six organisms that bring a huge threat to human, because they are drug-resistance. Scientists have not found antibiotics that are effective since the pathogens are multi-drug resistance. Multi-drug resistance is top three on global public health that are mostly caused by nosocomial infections (hospital-acquired infection caused by bacteria, fungal and viral, parasites and other pathogens). The six pathogens are Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella…
