Introduction Life could not exist without microorganisms: plants depend on microbes to obtain soil and cows need microorganisms to digest cellulose. Microbes degrade waste and they live in our bodies to keep us healthy. Microorganisms are also used to make vaccines and antibiotics. However, some bacteria are known for causing diseases such as the common cold, AIDS, Herpes, and Chicken Pox. Knowing the identity of microbes is essential for knowing the causative agent of a disease in order to…
Introduction In this lab report I use two different techniques to identify Unknown A and Unknown B bacteria’s. These techniques are gram staining and metabolic testing. I first used Gram staining to distinguished and identify the bacteria’s. Han Christian discovered gram staining in 1882, he had biopsy a patient lung that had pneumonia. The main purpose for Gram staining is to identify if is Gram positive or Gram negative by using differential staining. While Gram staining shows the…
2.4 Medical Science It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has. – Hippocrates (460-377 BC), the ancient Greek physician – considered as one of the most outstanding figures in the history of medicine and, often referred to as the ‘Father of Medicine’ Visualize a chip that is implemented in the brain, which processes images from an artificial retina grafted in the eye and restores the vision of a blind person. Visualize a…
There seems to be a divide among people if the Information Age represents a radical break from the Industrial age and the continuities between them. Both sides argue with different views and opinions pointing to the evidence. First, what makes the Information Age seem completely new are the innovation of technologies such as the Internet have allowed instant communication across distance as some call it the time-space compression where everyone can get the same-day information. Long-distance…

Materials and method Microorganisms are classified in to the three domains of life. The organism that is predominately found in our environment is bacteria closely followed by archaea and eukaryote. Although, microorganism might seem similar, they are different interims of their structures, biochemical composition, and the habitat they adopt. Conducting an extensive test on microorganism has many benefits. We can protect our self’s from different types of infectious disease. In the unknown…
that childbed fever and the death of Professor Kolletschka were one and the same because they both consist pathologically of the same anatomic changes. If, therefore, in the case of Professor Kolletschka . . . septic changes . . . arose from the inoculation of cadaver particles, then puerperal fever must originate from the same source. . . . (as qtd. in Tans & Brown,…
