was investigating the theory that nasal mucus had antibacterial effects when he left a culture plate with Staphylococcus aureus, a deadly bacteria, in his lab while he went on a holiday (Ho). When he returned to his lab, he found that there was a clear halo surrounding growth of a yellow-green mold named Penicillium notatum that had accidentally contaminated the plate (Ho). The Staphylococcus bacteria had grown all over the plate, except the area surrounding the mold growth. Fleming would deduce…

CHAPTER 3 3.0 Introduction To establish the differences in consumer acceptance, the pork liver polony sample was compared against the Colcom standard polony. Experiments were conducted by manipulating the independent variable, adding pork liver in two of the polony treatments, and observing differences between the test samples and the control sample. Analyses were used to quantify and describe the differences in shelf life, sensory evaluation scores, microbiological analysis and proximate…

In 1945, Sir Alexander Fleming, Ernst Boris Chain, and Sir Howard Walter Florey receive the Nobel Prize in Physiology (medicine) for their work on creating penicillin, but Norman Heatley, who also helped develop penicillin, did not receive the Nobel Prize for his work. If it were not for Heatley, the other scientists he worked with, and the scientists before him, the creation of the drug we know as penicillin today would not have been created. Penicillin is considered the first antibiotic drug…

My journey to the microscopic world of bacteria can be likened to a child exploring the world for the first time. As the child discovers the world, she also learns several survival skills along the way. In the same manner, all the knowledge I learned from Microbiology class and laboratory sessions regarding microbial world equipped me to identify bacterial unknowns from a clinical sample. The task was to successfully separate and accurately identify two bacteria of a specimen taken from an…

surface of the chest wall. Pyothorax (J86.0, J86.1), usually develops after pneumonia. The pus can not be coughed out but drained out by a needle or even surgery. The most common bacteria that causes Pyothorax is Streptococcus Pneumoniae, and Staphylococcus aureus. An acute condition is where the symptoms usually materialize out of no where and get worse very quickly. An acute pain is the response to tell you and your body that you have been hurt. Some examples are like when you bump your toe…

The differential diagnosis that fits 5-year-old Johnny is Impetigo. Impetigo is caused by Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes, which are Gram-positive bacterias that are highly contagious (Hartman-Adams, Banvard, & Juckett, 2014). According to Hartman-Adams, Banvard, & Juckett (2014), it is the most common bacterial skin infection seen in children between the ages of two and five years old. The symptoms associated with impetigo are classified as ruptured oozing sores, and…

Experimental trials were performed by students over a timeframe of three weeks to determine the identity of three unknown bacteria contained in broth medium stored in labeled test tubes that were randomly assigned containing: one Gram positive bacterium, one Gram-negative paracolon, and one Gram-negative coliform (Carson, 2016). The unknown sample assigned in this experiment was #19. After initially streaking the solution on clean streak plates and TSA agar, the identity was determined from a…

2 Eczema is defined as a condition where patches of skin become inflamed, itchy, red, cracked, and rough. It’s basically a dry skin condition. 2 James McIntosh says “certain foods such as nuts and diary can trigger symptoms. Eczema can also be triggered by environmental factors like smoke and pollen. Treatment focuses on healing damaged skin and alleviating the symptoms. Eczema is not a contagious condition”. According to Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc. 3 eczema is thought to be hereditary. 4…
