The purpose of the infections caused by gram-positive cocci lab exercise is to utilize different identification and diagnostic techniques to differentiate various groups of bacteria, which cause infection. Our primary goal is first to establish the presence of an infection; then, determine which particular pathogens, or groups of pathogens, are the underlying cause of the infection. In the clinic, infections manifesting from gram-positive cocci are a common and growing problem. Two genera in…

1. Summary of how I identified Bacillus cereus. a. First, I performed the gram stain test, I then went on to do the spore stain. b. The results I obtained from the gram stain were gram positive rods, I could tell they were positive by the purple color to them and the rod shape by the comparison provided in the lab manual (Wilkosz, Peterson). After I confirmed the results I performed the spore stain, which indicated that my sample was positive so it contained endospores. The sample should have…

Introduction Life could not exist without microorganisms: plants depend on microbes to obtain soil and cows need microorganisms to digest cellulose. Microbes degrade waste and they live in our bodies to keep us healthy. Microorganisms are also used to make vaccines and antibiotics. However, some bacteria are known for causing diseases such as the common cold, AIDS, Herpes, and Chicken Pox. Knowing the identity of microbes is essential for knowing the causative agent of a disease in order to…

Enterobacter spp. Enterobacter spp are part of the enterobacteriaceae family. They are facultative anaerobic gram negative bacilli. Their means of motility is by means of petrichous flagella. They produce acid upon glucose fermentation and are methyl red negative, voges-proskauer positive. Optimal growth temperature is 30*C .80% are encapsulated. E. spp have been associated with nosocomial outbreak and are opportunistic pathogens. They can cause numerous infections such as cerebral abscess,…

Crohn’s Disease is a systemic autoimmune disorder progressively rising in the United States. People of all ages are affect.

Etiopathogenesis Crohn’s has a couple of genes that contributes to its existence. The most know gene is the NOD2/CARD15 “nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain containing 2” that is located on chromosome 16.This chromosomes main function is to help the body attack foreign invaders, it identifies the virus or bacteria and initiates the auto immune system to respond to the invasion. Mutations to this chromosome can increase the chances for a person to get Crohn’s disease, more than 40…

cefalexin); tetracyclines (tetracycline, doxycycline, minocycline); aminoglycosides (gentamicin, amikacin, tobramycin); macrolides (erythromycin, azithromycin, clarithromycin); clindamycin; sulfonamides and trimethoprim (co-trimoxazole); quinolones (ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, norfloxacin); metronidazole and tinidazole. Along with the main types of antibiotics, there are a number of other antibiotics that specialist or hospital doctors may prescribe for more uncommon infections such as…
