    Humans and bacteria have a unique relationship, which has both positive and negative outcomes on human beings. In fact, the human body’s surfaces are inhabited by numerous bacteria, known as normal flora (Hornef et al., 2002). These normal flora may act as commensals or be mutualistic, which means that they are either harmless or beneficial microorganisms (Cogen et al., 2008). However, serious invasive diseases, such as meningitis and septicemia are caused by several pathogenic bacteria (Hornef…

    Introduction The Gram stain is a valuable tool to microbiologists in identifying the cell well composition of prokaryotic species. The underlying process revolves around a series of chemical dyes, and their propensity to bind to peptidoglycan polymers in the cell wall. The results allow scientists to infer properties about the outer coating of an organism and is often the first step in identifying an unknown species. For the purpose of our experiment, the results of the Gram stain will be as…

    Science and the arts have been intertwined for a long time and have more in common than one would think. Both science and art are human attempts to understand and describe the world around us. Mediums, methods, and intended audiences are different, but the motivations and goals are essentially the same.

    Structure of the Bacterial Cell Wall Bacterial cells differ from mammalian cells due to highly developed cell walls outside the cytoplasmic membranes that provide structural integrity and shape to the cell. Bacteria live in dilute aqueous environments, which causes an intracellular pressure equivalent of 10-25 atm. Without the structural support of the cell wall, the cell is susceptible to lysis and osmotic rupture due to osmotic rupture due to turgor pressure. Figure 1: Comparison between…

    Septic arthritis, also known as infectious or bacterial arthritis, is described as a painful infection that is present in a joint capsule in the human body. Synovial fluid, a lubricating substance found inside a joint capsule, is sterile in an uninfected joint. When a joint becomes infected, this synovial fluid is taken over by microorganisms that set up the infection. It is an uncommon infection, but it involves immediate treatment if detected due to its ability to permanently damage the joint.…
