Throughout the world, millions of crops are being affected by Escherichia Coli Bacteria, even though some strains of E. coli are harmless and cause mild illnesses other strains can be extremely dangerous to humans. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) states there about two major outbreaks every year which can infect an estimate of 265,000 people. This bacteria, which can outbreak anywhere around the world due to the various sources of the infection, can stay dormant in humans for months…

and transport the bacteria, the patient is contributing to the spread of ABR across borders. Also explained by Barlam and Gupta, they have given statistics that say, “ESBL Enterobacteriaceae increased from 9% pre-travel to 33.6% post-travel, while quinolone-resistance genes qnrB and qnrS increased from 6.6% and 8.2% pre-travel to 36.9% and 55.7% post-travel, respectively” (15). This means that the specific bacteria stated, Enterobacteriaceae, has a relation with the genes listed because they…

The Burkholderia Taxonomy and Genomics Burkholderia pseudomallei (Bp) belongs to the Burkholderia genus which contains over 40 species that inhabit a variety of ecological niches. The majority of species within this genus are non-pathogenic soil-dwelling bacteria, but a few species are highly pathogenic to humans and can result in severe disease [1]. This includes B. mallei, an obligate mammalian pathogen and the causative agent of glanders, which primarily affects horses and other solipeds…

According to Schouten et al (2008), sepsis involves the activation of the coagulation cascade coupled with down-regulation of anticoagulation and fibrinolysis. An intricate link between inflammation and coagulation exists within the body (Neligan, 2006). When a pathogen is present in the bloodstream or when tissue injury occurs, an inflammatory response occurs. The response causes a stimulation of the immune system to produce interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis…
