The company that I have chosen to examine is Fonterra. Fonterra is a dairy co-operative based in New Zealand, this means that Fonterra…

In the 1940s, antibiotics were widely introduced as a cure for common types of diseases. However, some microbes were able to resist the impacts of these drugs, in other words, the pathogen remained alive. In order to help resolve the crisis, antibiotics were found through screenings of soil microorganisms. However, soil microorganism’s antibiotics were depleted by the 1960s and their antibiotic effects were unable to be replicated through synthesis. In this experiment, the researchers developed…

We can find articles through journals online or in Chamberlain library at the moment.Working in the emergency department as RN, is not an easy job. Everyday is a learning experience. ED is one of the place in the hospital where code gray (security is called) happens a lot. The staff in the ED are the first one who gets expose to different diseases. It has been my observation that we have been assisting procedure for lumbar tapping to rule out meningitis, sometimes as staffs we don’t protect…

Hospitals are institutions founded solely on the principle of wellness, most do an excellent job at this except for in one category and that is the food. When one thinks about hospital food they think about things such as mashed potatoes jello and country fried steak. These food items leave a lot to be desired when it comes to nutritional value, and with some hospital food courts boasting establishments such as McDonald's and Chick-fil-A, it is probably prudent to take a closer look at exactly…

hospitalization (odds ratio [OR], 2.4 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.3–4.7]; P < .01), nursing home exposure (OR, 3.8 [95% CI, 2.3–6.3]; P < .01), and history of exposure to healthcare-associated pathogens (MRSA carriage: OR, 8.0 [95%CI, 4.2–15.1]; Clostridium difficile infection: OR, 3.4 [95% CI, 2.2–5.3]; vancomycin-resistant Enterococci carriage: OR, 3.1 [95% CI, 2.5–4.0]; P < .01 for all) (McKinnell et al., 2014, p. 1077). Select comorbidities were associated with MRSA colonization…

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…

Body Bacteria Exploring the Skin’s Microbial Metropolis by Allison Maclachla, Personally I found this article very engaging yet descriptive. Especially when she explained that not all bacteria are bad for you, and then continues to state some are very helpful. For instance she touches base on Staphylococcus epidermis, and how it shields us by taking up the space that Staphylococcus aureus would otherwise conquer. It’s intriguing to now know that acne (Acne vulgaris) the most common skin…

Defective can seam was the major reason to cause the canned food products being contaminated with microorganisms and the contaminants from the surrounding environment. Clostridium botulinum (C. botulinum) was the spore forming bacterial which can be commonly found in those contaminated or leakage canned products. They can multiply rapidly within the canned food as those food serve as the nutrients for them to grow. Botulism was the most common food born disease in the canned food industries. The…

 What is botox Botulinum neurotoxin is produced naturally by Clostridium botulinum, a gram positive spore forming bacteria. It has eight different serotypes named Type A, B, C1, C2, D, E, F and G. Botulinum toxin type A is the most powerful and longest acting of all and used widely for therapeutic purpose. It consists of two polypeptide chains : a heavy chain and a light chain linked together by a disulphide bond. It is synthesized in an inactive single peptide chain with a molecular mass of…

The preheating of fruit/vegetables will cook them, reducing their water holding capacity. Preheating would also reduce the amount of active microorganisms and enzymes compared to cold pack methods. 4. There are LACF regulations to prevent clostridium botulinum growth and causing serious foodborne disease. LACF is governed by the FDA. The recipes from lab that are below 4.6 are sweet apple cider butter, applesauce, apples in syrup, tomato pasta sauce, salsa, and spicy carrots. A water bath…
