This process begins in the upper jaw and gradually advances to the rest of the body. Eventually, the contraction of muscles would fracture the very bones that support the body.

transduction of chloramphenicol resistance from a resistant S. typhimurium LT2 strain to a sensitive strain of S. typhimurium. It is believed that P22 phages package 44 kb of chromosomal DNA at random with a 2% frequency and a 2% chance of homologous recombination events occurring (MIC302 lab manual). S. typhimurium has a chromosome length of approximately 4,857 kb, so it was calculated that 0.00036% is the percent chance that the gene for chloramphenicol resistance will be transduced into the…

Genetic predisposition contributes to the pathogenesis of Type 2 diabetes as evidenced by a…

Staphylococcus aureus is a pathogenic gram-positive cocci bacteria that grows through fermentation and anaerobic respiration. Its growth experiences three stages— a lag phase where infection initiates, an exponential stage S. aureus quickly grows, and a stationary phase where the bacteria alters cellular metabolism for long-term survival. The species is known for its golden-colored colonies, and 50 percent by mass peptidoglycan cell walls (Gordon and Lowy, 2008). S. aureus is the leading cause…

The first step I took in researching my topic was going on to the Clark College Library Website to access the article databases that my English teacher, Ms. Steltz, recommended I use. There were many article databases to choose from, each with an abundant amount of information within them if you know how to use them correctly. I am not sure why but I had a hard time finding any directly related information to my project on ProQuest and CQ researcher. but when I checked Gale Virtual Reference…

As transdermal delivery is a non-invasive route for the therapeutic materials delivery from the intact skin towards the systemic circulation. And as every square centimeter of the surface of the human skin contains ≈10–70 hair follicles and ≈200–250 sweat glands, hence the skin surface could be a conduit for the delivery of therapeutic agents. Additional benefits of using transdermal route is being a painless delivery method, few side effects, providing a low-frequency of therapy administration,…

The best way to combat the infection is to seek medical treatment were specific drugs can be used to remove the protozoan from the body. When in the first stage the most effective drug for T. brucei rhodesiense is Suramin. The most effective way for the drug to be administered is intravenously because it is not absorbed well by the intestines. It’s most effective against trypomastigotes that are in the bloodstream. The drug acts upon T. b. rhodesiense by inhibiting the glycosomal enzymes…

The growth of bacteria is very important to human life and plants as well as many more things. So, the question arises" how does bacteria grow and function" as well as "how does bacteria effect the environment" and many more, but in this paper, I will be explaining the simply needs of bacteria as well as where is can live and where is cannot.
