Inoculation

Experimental trials were performed by students over a timeframe of three weeks to determine the identity of three unknown bacteria contained in broth medium stored in labeled test tubes that were randomly assigned containing: one Gram positive bacterium, one Gram-negative paracolon, and one Gram-negative coliform (Carson, 2016). The unknown sample assigned in this experiment was #19. After initially streaking the solution on clean streak plates and TSA agar, the identity was determined from a…

Stressed lifestyle and personality are some of the psychological factors that influence health and behaviour in our lives. However, our response to stressors determines our ability to control and manage or develop illness out of the stress. “Stress is experienced when a person’s perceived environmental, social, and physical demands exceed their perceived ability to cope, particularly when these demands are seen as endangering the person’s well-being in some way” (Cardwell & Flanagan, 2012).…

George Washington was born in 1732 in Virginia. His mother was Mary Ball and his father, Augustine Washington. In 1743 his father died. He inherited 10 slaves and land. This ends up being an ironic part in his life later on. The major role he played in the shaping of America was being elected the commander of the Continental Army. For 8 years he held this position and it ended up being a very good decision on the American’s part. Prior to Washington becoming the leader of the Continental Army,…

Introduction Background This experiment pertained to identifying an unknown bacterium. This bacterium was retrieved from a member of our group’s hand. Bacteria are prokaryotic, but like all other living organism there are many genus and species. Through experimentation these unknowns can be found can be brought to light. Bacteria can be classified either gram-positive or gram-negative. These groups differ by the composition of their cell walls. In particular, the difference in the composition…

Vaccinating has been around since the 18th century. Edward Jenner an English scientist first discovered the effects of vaccination when he noticed that the milkmaids who had previously contracted cowpox did not get small pox (Casey, 2016). Even with proven history of success with vaccinations “an estimated 13% of parents choose to either delay or refuse vaccine for their children” (Shoup et al 2015). Although many people have reservations about vaccinations, there are many benefits and…

According to the text “Medicine and the human body” found in The World History Book it states that “British Physician Edward Jenner introduced a vaccine to prevent smallpox… Jenner discovered that inoculation with germs from a cattle disease called cowpox gave permanent protection from small smallpox in humans.” This evidence demonstrates that Edward Jenner is significant because he discovered that those who had cowpox could not be infected with smallpox…

INTRODUCTION: Over prescription and extensive use of antibiotics has caused antibiotic resistance at an shocking rate (Mezger et al.2014). The main aims of Antibiotic sensitivity testing is detecting possible drug resistance in common pathogens by in-vitro testing of bacterial cultures with antibiotics to determine susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotic therapy. The tests are frequently used when the etiologic agents are members of species capable of resistance to commonly prescribed drugs…

Capital cities in Latin America during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries used the “modern model” for public space as representative of public consciousness. This “modern model” based on Paris, a European city that achieved civilization in the broadest sense. In some cities in Latin America, such as Buenos Aires, this meant the implementation and emphasis of Parisian style architecture, monumental buildings, parks and promenade that created public consciousness of high culture…

The entire world was impacted with the Islamic civilization. Areas of commerce, technology, medicine, navigation, astronomy, and other scientific areas were touched by the hand of new discoveries brought forth by the learning centers of the Islamic world. The Islamic caliphates had an economy that was flourishing due to the established trade routes. The procession of people trading through the region also spawned the development of technologies, ideas, and spread the religion of Islam across…
