Kill Bacteria

2.Infections are unavoidable in the care home as there are so many risks. Potential risks can include the poor hygiene of a resident. This can be caused by them refusing to wash or bathe. Food poisoning is a risk if the kitchen and food surface aren’t kept clean at all times. Another potential risk is not cleaning equipment after use, as this can cross contaminate others causing harm to them. You must also make sure you dispose of clinical waste in the correct way, in the correct bins and tie bags up straight away as this can lead to a risk of infection.

GROWING AND EXTERMINATING E. COLI INVESTIGATION AIM – The aim of the experiment is to determine the relative effectiveness of several anti-microbial substances on developing pathogens. (E. coli)

1. Explain some of the problems involved in sterilizing delicate and heat-sensitive instruments such as endoscopes, catheters, etc. * Although sterilizing instruments for procedures is an effective way to reduce the risk of contamination, not all instruments are able to endure the level of heat with this process. Many endoscopes, for

Sometimes a wound may take a while to heal but it’s important to never ignore open wounds, cuts or sores as they can lead to serious health complications. At Infection Elimination Solutions, we are dedicated to helping patients get back to health and on with their life. We started Infection Elimination Solutions in order to offer an affordable, fast and safe solution to help heal wounds faster and more effectively. We are a group of four passionate health care providers committed to providing you with the best in healing options. We have worked hard to develop an antiseptic product that actually increases the speed of healing, cutting the time nearly in half and we continue to work hard to uncover new opportunities to improve the formula. This

The speaker for the last video cast is Dr. Steven Holland. He is a senior clinical investigator and the head of the Immune pathogenesis of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Dr. Holland received his medical degree from Johns Hopkins University. In the late 90s he started at the NIH as a researcher. In 2002 he received the NIH distinguished teacher award. The topic that Dr. Holland talked about in this video cast is: Keeping Microbes at Bay: What White Cells Do.

In this age of antibiotic resistance, there is an emergence for new line of therapies against pathogenic bacteria. Antibiotics are semi-synthetic or synthetic compounds that target specific bacterial molecules and cause suppression or killing of the pathogen. The bacteria in-turn has developed resistance against many of the available antibiotics causing a more severe and often fatal infections. There exist viruses that eat up/lyse the bacteria called as bacteriophages (baterio: bacteria and phage: to devour). They can kill the bacteria without causing any kind of harm or side-effects to the patient as seen in case of antibiotics and hence are also known as the silent killers of bacteria. The reason why these phages can only infect the bacteria is because the bacterial cell surfaces contain specific structures for the phage to attach which are absent on the human cells. These are called PAMPS i.e Pathogen Associated Molecular Patterns which include Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), Flagella, Pili etc.

Some tins and packets of powdered infant formula that are sealed, can sometimes contain bacteria such as Salmonella. Although these bacteria are very rare, the infections they cause can be serious. Bacteria multiply very quickly at room temperature. Even when the feed is kept in a fridge, bacteria can survive and multiply, although they do this more slowly.

Bacteria have many properties in that some are very harmful, pathogenic, and others are extremely beneficial in many ways to humans and to all types of organisms. Some live within plants, fungi and humans. An example in the human body is Lactobacillus Johnsonii which is a bacteria that helps infants digest milk smoothly (it is found in the gut)( Anwar MA and others 2008). Every type of bacteria is classified according to features that can be studied further for differing properties and what separates each strain into different categories.

Human Microbe Bacteria surround us, they cover our bodies from our phalanges on our feet to the follicles of hair on our craniums. Therefore, it is important to realize that while, the majority of these astounding microorganisms are beneficial, certain bacteria are devastating to our health.

Bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites are all different kinds of micro-organisms that have different characteristics.

The distribution of the different kinds of microbes contains bacteria, fungal and archaea which make up 90% of the cells in the human body. A large number of bacteria live and thrive in the colon and are referred to as the gut flora. These gut flora help in breaking down

Most bacteria are harmless, or essential to life. Bacteria help keep the digestive tract working appropriately in the human body. There are also strands of bacteria that can cause hundreds of illnesses, they can do this in several ways. Bacteria can destroy tissue directly, or reproduce on such a large scale that the body cannot function as it should. Bacteria can rapid produce, dividing into two every twenty minutes if in the correct conditions. They reproduce by binary fission in which the single bacterium cell divides into two identical daughter cells. They reproduce asexually.

Some of the bacteria is bad, so it kind of depends on what kind of bacteria it is. I think that most of the bacteria and human species are a bad relationship because most bacteria causes a sickness. Some of the five relationships are symbiosis, another one is mutualism. One other one is commensalism. Mutualism is when both are benefiting in a relationship. Symbiosis is when both are together, a umbrella of a relationship, but not really. Commensalism is when only one is benefiting in a relationship. Predator-Prey in another one it is pretty much when only one is

Alcanivorax borkumensis is a bacteria that found in aquatic areas of the world. It is an unusual bacteria because it has the ability to break down oil found in the oceans. In the following pages, I will discuss the size and shape of the bacteria. Also, I will discuss how the bacteria’s environment and its unusual ability may help mankind in controlling pollution of the world’s oceans.
