Gram-negative bacteria

carrier because it provides an excellent environment for probiotic bacteria, with the added advantage of having nutritional value.Fatty Acids composition in fermented synbiotic cream, containing one of the two probiotic bacteria ( Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei ) and inulin (0,1.5, 3%) was evaluated during 30 days for the the15-day interval at 4±1 °C. All chemical characterization were affected by the probiotic bacteria strain in the cream. Gas chromatographic analysis showed…

CLOSTRIDIUM TETANI Introduction Clostridium tetani is a microorganism that has effected the lives of many people. This bacteria is the cause of the disease many people have come to know as Tetanus. It infects its victims by releasing a toxin in the human body that causes an infection in the nervous system (Hassel, 2013). The first experimentations with Tetanus began in the 1800’s when scientists began infecting animals with samples from infected humans. In 1889, one scientist by the name…

Listeria monocytogenes is a gram-positive rod-shaped bacterium and facultative anaerobic that can grow under either anaerobic or aerobic conditions but do not form endospores. Among the six species of Listeria, only Listeria monocytogenes is the major human pathogen that causes disease in humans. It is a causative agent to cause listeriosis, a serious infection caused by ingesting the food contaminated with Listeria. The optimum temperature for growth is 30 to 37 degree Celsius, within this…

The chemicals are removed from the water during the treatment process and do not remain in the final treated water. The high pH (alkalinity) levels of the water at this stage help to destroy any bacteria and viruses that may be present in the water. Settlement (sedimentation): The particles are allowed to settle at the bottom of settlement tanks and are later removed as sludge. The sludge is then dried and removed to a waste disposal site. Stabilisation:…

drug receives three seasons viz. monsoon, winter and summer in months of August, December and May. This serves a rationale to our study, where we find monsoon (August) to accumulate higher levels of CPT (1.337 gram / 100 gram dry bark powder) in barks of Nothapodytes nimmoniana J. Graham. As compared to summer…

Velocity of Bacteria and Cells Determine the Need of Antibiotics The first goal was to examine the motion of E. coli bacteria. Excel was used to analyze and record the position, velocity and acceleration of the bacteria. The second goal was to analyze and compare the cell motion of wound healing, neutrophils and E.coli bacteria using ImageJ to determine if a patient needs to take antibiotics to cure his injury based on the velocity of E. coli, neutrophils, and wound healing. Experimental…

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,…

In this article, foeniculum vulgare is assayed in vitro for antibacterial activity. They used 27 phytopathogenic bacterial species and 2 myropathogenic bacterial species. A significant antibacterial activity is determined by agar diffusion method and reported that foeniculum vulgare essential oil is useful for natural bacterial to control of bacterial disease of plant and seed mainly in organic agriculture. In day today life people used to smoking, poor diet maintenance…

highly infectious disease that normally affects herbivores (livestock) and unfortunately may also spread to humans through inhalation, ingestion or any sort of skin contact of the bacterium, Bacillus anthracis. Bacillus anthracis (B. anthracis) is a gram positive spore forming bacterium that invades the human body and leads to various symptoms of Anthrax, depending on how virulent it has become. These symptoms include; swollen neck glands, bloody diarrhoea, vomiting blood, extreme tiredness and…

the 96-well micro-titer plates, the growth control wells contained MH broth medium with tested bacterial concentrations and sterility control wells contained only MH broth medium as shown in figure 2. The plates were then covered to ensure that the bacteria were not dehydrated. Then the plates were incubated at 37°C for 18 to 20 hours. The lowest concentration of each antibacterial agent that inhibited the bacterial growth was considered as the MIC (CLSI, 2006). After the MIC determination,…
