conditions associated with bronchiectasis, such as cystic fibrosis and dyskinetic cilia syndrome, are characterized by abnormal mucociliary clearance, and it is possible that this deficiency itself predisposes to local airway colonization. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is particularly important in this regard; as assessed by HRCT, its presence is associated with more extensive disease as well as thicker, more dilated airways.15kBranhamella catarrhalis has also been increasingly recognized as an…
Abstract Biofilms cause many problems in the drinking water distribution systems (DWDS) and are difficult to remove via conventional disinfection methods. Halogenated furanones produced by Delisea pulchra can hinder biofilm formation and maintenance and look promising as an alternative solution that can be used either as a preventive measure or co-treatment against biofilms in DWDS. However, limited toxicology studies that have been done on halogenated furanones formed as by-products of…
Introduction: The purpose of the tests (culture media, motility, enzymes, etc.) we preform on the numerous bacteria in lab is to show any biological or chemical characteristics of the bacteria that may help it survive or adapt in the wild, how it may be useful or hazardous to humans, and use as general knowledge to differentiate bacteria from each other. In the Culture Media test we can use solid and liquid media to grow multiple bacteria in lab. It can help us determine what processes the…
caused by nosocomial infections (hospital-acquired infection caused by bacteria, fungal and viral, parasites and other pathogens). The six pathogens are Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and several species of Enterobacter. Instead of using these ESKAPE pathogens in classroom laboratories that are dangerous to human, we use their safe relatives that does not bring a huge risk to the human life. Safe relatives have…
1. Abstract In this study, reverse micellar extraction of asparaginase model system was carried out using CTAB/Iso-octane/hexanol/butanol system to optimize the forward and back extraction efficiency. By using Taguchi’s orthogonal array (OA), maximum forward extraction efficiency of 55.0%, 61.0% and 54% was achieved with an aqueous phase pH of 11.0, 150mM CTAB/Iso-octane and 0.1 M NaCl, respectively. Similarly, Taguchi’s orthogonal array (OA) was applied to optimize the pH of stripping phase,…

My study case is related to a bronchiectasis patient from Fairfax Inova Hospital. Bronchiectasis is an abnormal and permanent dilation of airways in which the bronchial walls become inflamed, the mucociliary elevator is impaired, and the mucus accumulates leading to increased susceptibility to infection. It can be classified according to morphological forms such as cylindrical bronchiectasis form where the bronchi are enlarged and cylindrical (least severe), varicose bronchiectasis form where…
Proteus Mirabilis Proteus mirabilis is defined by the slide share website as a disease caused by microbial invasion of the genitourinary track that extends from the renal cortex of the kidney to the urethral meatus. Proteus mirabilis can be laboratory diagnosed by the specimen collection, transported and storage and laboratory methods, but the laboratory methods that would be focused on is specimen collection. It is often the first determine diagnosis and treatment which would give a more…

about ventilator associated pneumonia. Hunter defined ventilator associated pneumonia as a nosocomial infection that can be caused by any type of Gram negative bacteria; such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter. The article explained that patients that are affected by ventilator associated pneumonia are usually on a ventilator and more susceptible to it due to lack of immune system; and inability to cough and swallow…
