into ammonia, and thus neutralizing the surrounding acidic environment. Also, H. pylori contains "hydrogenase" enzyme, which can oxidize molecules hydrogen being produced by other gastric bacteria, in order to produce energy. Some other enzymes that can be utilized by H. pylori are "oxidase" and "catalase", which are also used to test for the presence of this organism. It can also form "biofilm" on the gastric mucosa epithelium, which results in its ability to resist against many antimicrobials. From spiral form, it is able to convert into "coccoid form" - one of its advantage which helps in its survival and epidemic potential [5].

Founded in 1968, IATI started as a group of actors who met to produce plays in NY. In 1970, IATI was incorporated as a NY-based non-profit for producing plays in Spanish.

Since then, H. pylori has been almost completely eradicated in western countries, being placed onto the endangered species list. Unfortunately in developing countries, gastric and duodenal ulcers remain huge problems. The lack of access to antibiotics and the emergence of antibacterial resistant strains have greatly hindered efforts to cure the diseases. The controversy is not over, however, as 80% of people infected with H. pylori never develop any gastrointestinal diseases. We need to thoroughly research the bacterium and exactly how it works in order to fully understand the role of H. pylori in stomach diseases. With that information, we will have the means to combat the diseases caused by the bacterium and the lack of the

The gram-negative bacilli were first discovered and described by Theodor Escherich, a German pediatrician in 1885. Originally named as Bacterium coli commune, the name was changed to Escherichia coli (E.coli) (Stanford T. Shulman et al., 2007). E.coli is known as the most free-living organism being studied. More than 700 E.coli serotypes have been discovered. Their “O” antigen (somatic), and “H” antigen (flagellar) and “K” antigen (capsular) distinguish the different E.coli serotypes. E.coli is commensal bacterial species of the mammalian colon. The bacterium typically colonizes the gastrointestinal tract of an infant within a few hours of life. It is known that E.coli and its human host-derived a mutual benefit that they coexist in good health. Most of E.coli strains are harmless except in immunocompromised hosts, or when gastrointestinal barriers are violated that even non-pathogenic strains can cause disease. Nevertheless, there are certain serotypes that may cause disease in humans and animals. Pathogenic E.coli can be divided into six recognized diarrheagenic categories: enteropathogenic E.coli (EPEC), Shiga toxin-producing E.coli (STEC), enterotoxigenic E.coli (ETEC), enteroaggregative E.coli (EAEC), enteroinvasive E.coli (EIEC) and diffusely adherent E.coli (DAEC) (James B. Kaper et al., 2004). E.coli caused a major health problem in developing countries such as China and Korea. It has been found to be associated with most gastrointestinal diseases in

Overall Scientific premise: Inflammatory bowel disorder (IBD) affects an estimated 1-1.3 million people in the US alone, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Although immune intolerance in the gut is considered one of the factors driving disease progression, the origins of IBD remain unknown. Enteric infections play a major role and could potentially be an underlying cause of IBD (PMID:15256979). Staphylococcus aureus, an ESKAPE pathogen, one of the major causes of foodborne enteric infections. Nevertheless, there is a considerable knowledge gap as to how S. aureus can cause dysregulation and inflammation at enteric mucosal surfaces that could lead to IBD. Previous studies along these lines led to the

coli K1 is a key step in the infection process (polin). The intestine of healthy neonates gets colonized by commensal bacteria shortly after birth, but for some individuals this normally harmless process can lead to sepsis, due mainly to the immature immune system of the human neonate (3). The gastrointestinal tract mucosa possesses several defense mechanisms which protect the gut from microbial infection (30). The gastrointestinal barrier is composed of a monolayer of several cell types, including the structural enterocytes, Paneth cells, and goblet cells, which are involved in the secretion of mucus (14, 30,

Second, establish regional offices across the nation which deal specifically with ARNG IG issues, this office can be the outside organization that acts as a truly non-biased entity which can properly investigate and make correct recommendations to unit commanders without fear or pressure from state leadership.

An example of a flagellated bacterium is the ulcer-causing Helicobacter pylori, which uses multiple flagella to propel itself through the mucus lining to reach the stomach

I have been working at the I.G Baker Company for some time now, one year to be exact. To be working for a company that sincerely provides so much to the Canadian economy is a great honour. However I am beginning to resent making such bold claims, after going through today’s paperwork from the office back room. I came across some questionable official paperwork signed off by the company. Ranging from the bribery of local police and political leaders to the distribution of food “unfit for food” (Daschuk 138). I think I should resign from my position? Is what I would say unless I wanted to be jobless. For instance, where would I go? I couldn’t go back East for I have a family here in the West and besides giving up a job in this growing company

With the proclaimed defeat of ISIS, current ties with Russia, and the seemingly inevitable defeat of rebel forces against the Assad Regime, the Iranian government has the opportunity to spread influence within the Central Command (CENTCOM) area of responsibility (AOR), specifically within Syria. Iran’s persistent influence across Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon via proxy forces has multiple diplomatic, economic, military, and ______ implications. These relationships and

I have read many books by and about Imagineers, as an avid Disney enthusiast, so I was thrilled to see an opening within the WDI Project Department. To be a part of the team, who is responsible for organization and financial framework of on-going projects, with a company that for many, like me, brings joy would be an absolute dream come true and an extreme honor.

JLG Technologies, provides software for correctional investigators across the country. Recently, they released a new software that should make a big impact in the correctional software industry. The name of the software is Investigator Pro 4.0 and the software makes it extremely easy to search by voice. Certainly, correctional investigators spend a lot of time going through phone calls trying to quickly identify subjects on the line through various methods. Those methods might seem slow compared to the powerful new tool that JLG Technologies released. Now, the correctional investigators simply take a sample of the voice and a few seconds later, they identify the callers.

Second, non-structural protein 4 has been shown to act as an enterotoxin secreted by rotavirus infected cells 34. Administration of non-structural

Education about diet, exercise, glucose monitoring, and insulin adjustments are important for self-managing diabetes during pregnancy (Gilbert, 2011). Even though there is a common understanding that there is an increased need of antenatal care for women with GDM, there is still uncertainty about how often blood glucose should be monitored, the recommended diet, and the amount of exercise required (González-Quintero, 2008). GDM patients should acquire knowledge and skills regarding self- regulation, in order to better prepare and monitor their dietary intake, exercise and blood glucose levels (Limruangrong, 2011). Although GDM does decrease after pregnancy, over half of women with GDM will acquire Type 2 diabetes (Bone,
