Pathogens cause disease and can only survive if they continue to multiply and transfer to other organisms; pathogenicity’s purpose is transmission, this can be seen due to the many ways of transmission done various diseases. The transmission of disease can happen many ways, but is vital to the survival and the spread of the diseases. This can be seen in the transmission of Vibrio cholera, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and malaria. Without transmission a disease will not survive, it cannot…

they are everywhere” (Bonnie Bassler). Pathogens can be found all around us. Over 160,000 people die each year in the United States from infectious diseases that Pathogens cause. Pathogens can be traced from decades ago even during the geologic time. Many pathogenic organisms show ancestral traces in the fossil records from hundreds of years ago. These pathogens never died and still live on. They grew stronger and now are transmitted in multiple ways. Pathogen transmission involves three steps:…

must be aware of at all times. Airborne and blood borne pathogens are just two, but they are something that everyone in the health care field will come across, whether they are a nurse, receptionist or manager. Knowing what both Airborne and blood borne pathogens are, how to prevent exposure to both and what agencies/laws are in place to help prevent exposure are all important items that will be covered in this paper. A blood borne pathogen is a pathogenic microorganism that is present in human…

Antibiotic-resistant Pathogens" written by the WTOP Staff and published on their website, believe that with the right honey and preparations they can get rid of the more resistant pathogens. In this article, Swedish scientists believe that honey and lactic acids that are found in honey bees can be an alternate source other than normal medication for antibiotic-resistant pathogens. With support testing, they have found that they 've been able to combat and win against all resistant pathogens that…

contact with blood on a daily basis. Although blood flows through every human body, harmful bacteria can lace itself into the blood stream and spread from person to person. Controlling these pathogens from spreading could save a life. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) defines bloodborne pathogens as “infectious microorganisms in human blood that can cause disease in humans.” Diseases included are hepatitis B, hepatitis…

multi-drug resistant pathogens endangers the entire world population because anyone can be infected, many hospitals cannot provide quality care, treatment is expensive, and many people are uninformed. The prevalence of drug resistant pathogens around the world can be…

Blood borne Pathogens and Infectious Substances Blood borne Pathogens Training Working in the lab you are bound to be in a position of potential exposure to blood or potentially infectious substances. Due to this we offer training for to aid in minimizing the risk of hazards when dealing with blood borne pathogens. The training has some standards such as the training for certain procedures that have the potential for being infectious must take place within 90 days after the start date, and then…

to act as reservoirs for pathogens that cause infectious diseases in humans. Reservoirs of pathogens are essentially places where the pathogen is able to grow and accumulate over time. The reservoir and the pathogen have a stable relationship, which allows for little to no signs of the disease to show up in the host (Strelkauskas et al., 2010). A balance that is mutually beneficial to the hosts response mechanism and virus replication is essential, meaning that the pathogen…

2.1 Pathway analysis of the host and pathogen The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database [1, 2] was explored for metabolic pathways for both human genomes and Shigella flexneri 2a (301). The identification numbers of all pathways from both organisms were listed. Thereafter, a manual comparison was made between the host and pathogen metabolic pathways. Those pathways that did not appear in the human genomes but were present in the pathogen, according to the KEGG database…
