thousands upon thousands of bacteria that we interact with on a daily basis some are good and help us live healthy and productive lives, like the bacteria that is used to make and keep yogurt from spoiling (Wassenaar, 2002) . Now granted, not all bacteria are beneficial to us and can cause us a lot of harm. If bacteria are harming us, either by causing disease, contaminating our food, or harming the environment that we live in, one needs to identify the unknown bacteria so that the proper treatment
- Key diffrents between prebiotics and probiotics : Prebiotics and probiotics are two types of bacteria which are present on all food products. These bacteria can help in dagestive system as they have the ability to keep it more healthy. These two types of bacteria have the same benefits for the health, as they can increase number of healthy bacteria in person's body, but they have some differants, too. For example, prebiotics are type of carbohydrates which have long chains of suger moleculs bonded
called microbiota as well. The stomach is primarily inhabited by aerobic gram-positive microorganisms (<103 CFU/g). The small intestine contains with the bacteria from the genera of Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Bacteriocides, and Streptococcus (103 - 104 CFU/g) and the large intestine is populated by a large numbers (1011 - 1012 CFU/g) of bacteria from the genera of Bacteriocides, Fusobacterium, Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Eubacterium (Savage,
Aum Bansal Mr Marlon A. Uson Science 6th September 2014 Microorganisms are good or bad Some of the organisms don’t have tissues, organs, organ systems they have a body made of one cell are called microorganisms. Microorganisms are organisms which can mostly be seen by a microscope but sometimes they can also be seen by naked eye as the live in big groups as they double after eating food. They are found everywhere in the world, they are in us, in plants, in animals, in chemicals, in factories
the lab we learned what bacteria are and the different types that can be found. Bacteria are single celled organisms that are the oldest life forms on Earth, dating back to 3.5 billion years ago. Bacteria are found in soil, water, and air, and on our bodies, plants and human made objects. Extremophiles are bacteria that can live in some of the most extreme environments on Earth. Bacteria grow in three different shapes: cocci (ball shaped), rod, and spiral. Beneficial bacteria aid in digestion, treat
disease-causing bacteria are resistant to antibiotics and what can the medical profession in South Africa do about it? Bacteria are single-celled minute organisms found inside and outside our bodies. Most bacteria is very useful and good for us such as the bacteria found in each person’s digestive tract. This bacteria is important as it breaks down food so that nutrients can be absorbed and it also helps to fight the bad bacteria that causes infection and disease. Bacteria that is not good for us causes
Summary The article I chose to summarize discusses many different ways to control antibiotic resistance. I thought it was a good article for me to read so I can adapt some of these strategies in my practice as a nurse practitioner. Healthcare has been forever changed with the discovery of antibiotics. Although considered one of the biggest discoveries in the last century, there has been less work done to create new antibiotics in more recent years. Once antibiotic use became widespread, resistance
Introduction The primary goal of this lab was to notice the bacteria growth in each tube/plates and to be able to properly inoculated the media to get a good result. Materials • 4 Nutrient Broths • 4 Agar Slants • 4 Agar Deeps • 4 Petri Dish • 1 loop and needle • Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus Samples Procedures 1. Label all of the tubes and petri dishes with the name of the bacteria and my lab partner and I initial, but leave one of each media as a control and label
handful of soil from outside you are not only picking up soil you are picking up a handful of microbes. In that one handful there are many different varieties of living microbes, they range from algae, fungi, bacteria and many more. “A single teaspoon of that soil contains over 1,000,000,000 bacteria, about 120,000 fungi and 25,000 algae.”(Microbe World) They are found everywhere that you can think of on Earth, this includes the ground, air, plants and animals. Microbes are one of the oldest living things
animals and humans. • Infections can become harder to treat due to antibiotics used to treat the infection or diseases have become less effective. Antibiotics are used to treat and prevent bacterial infection. Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria no longer responds to the antibiotics. Antibiotic resistance is a big threat and is rising to dangerous levels in all parts of the world. This is creating a major problem because the
