Coliform bacteria

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…

the evolutionary order is the typical bacteria, which I viewed at a 1000 magnification. These bacteria can be found in the Eubacteria domain and kingdom. The bacteria in my sample were coccus, which means that the bacterium has a round shape, and this type of bacteria is one of the simplest forms of bacteria. These cells are also prokaryotic because they do not have a nucleus and they are heterotrophic because they do not produce their own food. These bacteria are unicellular, however they work…

By changing it is harder for the immune system to recognize the illness and the cycle begins again. “Bacteria are able to develop resistance to antibiotics through repeated exposure (Goodwin, Philis 18)”. Bacteria are able to become resistant to antibiotics so this means that researchers have to find a new way to fight off the new bacteria that have become immune previously. “The prevalence of antibiotic resistance through the misuse of antibiotics is increasingly becoming…

Bacteria is a broad domain of the prokaryotic cells in which are very small containing of no nucleus, a small amount of organelles and a single chromosome loop. Bacteria reproduces asexually through binary fission meaning it duplicates its genetic material and then divides into two parts. Bacteria can also exchange genetic material through conjugation, when DNA is directly transferred from one bacterial cell to another, the two bacteria then merge and share the genetic material. There are two…

Plasmid Interference in Regulation of the Type III Secretion System in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic pathogen, commonly colonizes patients with cystic fibrosis (1) and contributes to a sizeable proportion of antibiotic-resistant nosocomial infections (2). Acute P. aeruginosa infections are characterized by the expression of the type III secretion system (T3SS) comprised of a needle-like apparatus used to inject exoenzymes into neighboring cells (1, 3). These…

the university of Queensland Centre for Superbug Solution, In Australia 170 people die from bacterial sepsis per week.People should know exactly what superbugs are and be aware of the connections and issues that result from them. Superbugs are bacteria that can live in the human body and are able to resist…

for Mastitis Control Lactation point also plays a role in targeting treatment effectively. The risk of the disease is higher at the start of the dry period as pressure in the udder increases, dilating the teat canal and giving easier access to bacteria. The periods of colostrogenesis (3-4 weeks pre-calving), calving and early lactation are also high risk due to the natural state of immune suppression. Mastitis occurring early in lactation has the potential to incur severe production losses if…

What is an infection An infection happens when an organism such as bacteria feeds off of its host. It lives in that person and multiplies. This causes the area to become red and hurt. Because of the one way benefit to the organisms they are known as parasitic organisms. There are lots of bacteria on earth and our bodies are mostly made up of bacteria that live inside us but don 't cause harm because they live symbiotically with their host. There are manny different kinds of infections…

Table 1 shows the all the isolates that produced a zone of inhibition for the ESKAPE pathogen, Staphylococcus aureus. In total, twenty six isolates were tested against Staphylococcus aureus. However, only eight showed a zone of inhibition. The size of the zones varied for each microorganism. Table 2 shows the results of the biochemical and morphological tests. The test that were performed were Sim, FTM, oxidase, catalase, MSA, blood agar, Acid fast stain and endospore stain. The sim and…

For my project, I chose to make an illustration. In the picture I have a breast cancer ribbon, a pot of boiling water, a prokaryote, a chromosome, a pedigree, and a factory to represent human impact, a flower to represent photosynthesis, a food chain, an energy pyramid, an embryo, humans evolving, a biomolecules chart, and the phases of mitosis. I drew a breast cancer ribbon because we talked about different types of cancer. There are many factors that go into the diagnosis of cancer. A lot of…
