yeasts, and bacteria which factor grapes' physical and biochemical characteristics. Some species depend on the grape ripening stage and on the availability of nutrients like yeasts and lactic bacteria, while others are only found inside the grapes, such as parasitic fungi and environmental bacteria (Barata et al. 2012). Similar to other plants grapes also have to deal with the two major microbial, fungi and bacteria. These microorganisms play a major role in grape's ecology. Fungi and bacteria…

More specifically, this database can help users to draw conclusions about how large molecule conformations help to determine the direction of drug development. The Protein Data Bank has…

impacting the general population (Another sentence of two about antibiotic resistance in general, the increasing trends and some figures). Today, carbapenemase producing-carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CP-CRE) is a group of gram-negative bacteria that are challenging public health professionals worldwide. CP-CRE has been classified as an urgent issue from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and requires immediate action.A CP-CRE infections are classified as multi-drug…

Introduction: Prokaryotic cells are cells that do not have membrane bound organelles, such as ribosomes and include organisms such as bacteria. In contrast, eukaryotic cells contains organelles and are often more complex organisms (Karp, 2010). These cells have some similar features such as the plasma membrane and the use of ribosomes to make proteins. However, there are also significant differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Whilst the prokaryotic/ eukaryotic…

recommended dates on the food labels. Our classmate Ron mentioned E.Coli and Salmonella, these two are food borne bacterias with salmonella being the most common cause of illness in the US. Foods contain different natural toxins, but can come to have some that are harmful. Salmonella is a food borne bacteria that have many strains. It is generally found in animals and human feces. This bacteria can spread in raw meats, poultry,…

infection commonly called strep throat is caused from streptococcus pyogenes. Group A streptococcus or GAS is a bacteria commonly found in the throat (strep throat) and on the skin (scarlet fever). This bacteria can cause severe infections and mild infections such as strep throat. GAS was identified around 1879 when Louis Pasteur isolated a strand of the bacteria. Later, the bacteria was given the name streptococcus pyogenes. However, historians studied medical records and it seems to be that…

The chain of infection consists of a sequence of events that must occur for a disease or infection to take place. These events are steps that pathogens must take in order to reach a susceptible host. The host may be anyone lacking proper resistance to certain microorganisms. The chain of infection can only be commenced if there is an adequate amount of the infectious agent present. If the virulence of the pathogens is higher so are their chances of causing disease. A source for the…
