Microorganism

Hospital. The surgical team wished to send you our regards while including information to help you understand MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant organisms. First, a MRSA infection is like any other bacterial infection. Because it is caused by a microorganism that invades the body. The name MRSA, is an acronym for methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus. If something sounds familiar it may be because Staphylococcus aureus is common on skin. While the microbe can cause infections, it is a…

Gram Negative Unknown Lab Report #20 BIOL 3444-008 Giang Nguyen TA: Malini Kotak 11/05/2014 Abstract The experiment is conducted in order to identify a randomly given unknown gram-negative microorganism. By comparative analysis of biochemical tests that were performed throughout the semester to find out its characteristics and determine the identification of bacterium out of four potential unknown was given. To figure out the characteristics, T-streak was performed to isolate…

\What are the advantages of having both an immune and an inflammatory system of defense? The benefit of both of these systems is that they are helpful to fight against invaders in the body like infections. The inflammatory system helps our pain fibers to be stimulated. This can determine the area that need proper care to. As for the immune system it creates a homeostatic environment that works against invaders in the body. Also reacts if our own cells decide to harm our own tissues. It can also…

Alicia your topic is very interesting and the issues that you have raised are noteworthy. One of the things you mentioned on your post is that a good portion of the vancomycin is removed when it is given during the hemodialysis. As a pediatric OR nurse specializing in open heart surgeries, I immediately asked myself whether our patients undergo the same thing when they receive prophylactic vancomycin dose and then later go through cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Vancomycin is given as an…

Sinus infections caused by infection of pathogenic microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, or fungi), which grow inside the sinuses and cause intermittent obstruction of slot Pocket. Most people do not convey sinus infections. Most doctors agree that except in rare cases, sinus infections are not contagious but arising mainly viruses and bacteria that, by chance, someone pockets support deployment because Minor, rarely, and distortions in the sinus tissue of a person (for example, swelling,…

An unknown sample #18 was obtained on November 6, 2017. The sample came in a glass test tube with a cotton swab that contain the unknown sample. To find the identity of the unknown sample, we had to conduct several biochemical tests to eliminate and narrow down possible organisms that fit the biochemical description to accurately identify our unknown organism of interest. These biochemical tests provided insight on the physical color retention of our unknown sample, and through’s the unknown…

aureus ability to adhere and form biofilm on host surfaces, and resistance to phagocytosis [210]. The production of biofilm by the microbes is reflected as a significant virulence factor responsible for connection of these microorganisms with living or non-living surfaces. Biofilm contents make a publication of bacteria and support them to stay alive in unfavorable environmental conditions. Staphylococcus aureus isolates which create biofilm lead to chronic mastitis in dairy animals…

Managing A Ubiquitous Virus: Varicella Zoster Virus Throughout a person’s life, people are exposed to innumerable sources of disease causing microorganisms. Such infectious microorganisms include viruses that attack a weakened human immune system that is unable to overcome the pathogen without assistance. Varicella zoster virus (VZV) targets the immune system through lymph nodes that cause raised skin rashes on the body. It is considered to be a “ubiquitous” virus in that it is commonly seen…

When you look at the ingredients of a food, do you see a lot of ingredients you wouldn’t expect? Do you wonder how food lasts so long? Both of these are done through food additives. They add nutrition, preserve the product, maintain consistency, and retain flavor and color. But they are also mostly artificial. Before the 1800’s, people would mostly grow and process their food by themselves. It wasn’t until after the civil war that the majority of people started working in factories and needed…

Disk diffusion method is an in-vitro determination of antimicrobial susceptibility. These in-vitro results may not always similar with in vivo efficacy. Susceptibility testing microorganisms by disk diffusion should be carried on uncontaminated culture. We should subculture the microorganism strains and re-test it to ensure that we can get an accurate and reliable result. Besides that, the parameter and standardization of disc diffusion method procedure should be followed to get the…
