Staphylococcus aureus

professor had suggested that instead of me continuing on ahead doing the catalase test she had recommended that I do a mannitol salt agar test or a Blood agar test for my final test, which would help determine between Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus epidermidis. I decided to go along with the mannitol salt agar method and again with my inoculated loop I grabbed some of my unknown #15 and I had applied it to aseptic technique to the agar plate. While waiting for my results to appear,…

Growing up as an only child to a single parent who worked two jobs to pay the bills taught me a great deal about life. I was not only taught to work hard, but also to be dedicated to by my goals. I saw the injustices of life in ways other children were sheltered from. I remember how difficult it was for my mother to work 16 hours and still provide a home cooked dinner for me, and during that dinner listen to how my day was spent. There were even some days she had to take me to work with her at…

RESISTANCE 2 The genus Staphylococcus is a common inhabitant of the skin and mucous membranes. Staphylococci are organisms that are gram positive clusters or tetrads. They stain purple with the Gram’s stain. The organisms lack spores, flagella and some species are encapsulated. There are about 30 species of Staphylococcus species. Some of the pathogens include…

organisms for present study is MRSA, a microorganism which has developed resistance to the almost all types of antibiotics. Staphylococcus aureus the catastrophic effects of staphylococcus have affected human kind since very early history and it is believed that 6th plague of Egypt which was named as “incurable boils” was also caused by staphylococcus. But the name staphylococcus was given after the two Greek words stands for staphylos (grips) and kokkos (seeds/berry) in 1882 by the Scottish…

(Willey et al, 2011). From the results in table1, it is shown that that Pseudomonas aeuruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus were both destroyed by of ethanol(70%) at all time set intervals of (1, 2, 5, 10 and 15 minutes). Ethanol has different capabilities as revealed in the lab experiment. . Due to its rapid evaporation nature, ethanol is an intermediate limited…

Although it most often starts in infancy and affects two of ten children, it is also highly prevalent in adults. Even when this is not a fatal condition, it is characterized by the reduction of the barrier function and shows susceptibility to Staphylococcus aureus. AD is commonly associated with elevated levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) and T-helper response to allergies. The purpose of this paper is to determine the potential therapeutic benefit microbiome modulation and future the role that…

emphases on Staphylococcus. Staph is short for staphylococcus, which is a type of bacteria. The genus for staphylococcus is staphylococci there are various types but the most important organisms within this genus are Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus saphrophyticus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis. S.aureus is the common bacteria within this genus and is the number one infection in U.S. Hospital. Staphylococcus saphrophyticus is the leading cause for urinary tract infections & Staphylococcus…

Argument To initiate an argument that stands up for Staphylococcus aureus in being a helpful or good bacterium is something I just cannot do. I can argue that the bacteria S. aureus is a terrible and very communicable bacterium, that I can do! I, myself fought S. aureus in one of the worst places possible, my buttock! I know exactly how I caught it as well, I work in the medical field. Though not in a hospital where S. aureus is mostly contracted from hospital to patients, a clinic works…

agars that are used in this lab are eosin methylene blue agar (EMB), mannitol agar, and nutrient agar. Mannitol agar is used for identifying bacteria that fall under the Staphylococcus genus (Beaver, L et al. Mannitol Salt Agar). This agar has a very high concentration of salt which is a good environment for the growth of Staphylococcus bacteria only (Beaver, L et al. Mannitol Salt Agar). The next agar that is used is EMB. EMB is a good agar for recognizing E. coli (Beaver, L et al. Eosin…

lysozyme etc. The production of these substances ensures that the microorganisms are destroyed before they get an opportunity to cause infections [4]. However, S. aureus has developed mechanisms, which enhance the evasion of the host immune system. The host’s body produces effector proteins after microbial invasion; nevertheless, S. aureus produces molecules that inhibit these proteins. Another mechanism used by the microbe involves binding of immune regulators produced by the host through the…
