Microorganisms And Bacterial Infects

Germs is a collaboration from three writers/Pulitzer prize winners, Judith Miller, a reporter/writer for The New York Times, Stephen Engelberg, reported for The Times on national security, and William Broad, a science writer for The Times. In their Preface, Miller describes their morning of September 11, 2001. How better to catch an American reader’s attention than broaching the subject of 9/11. “Where were you on the morning of 9/11?” We connect our lives and our own life story based on this tragic event in our country’s history. Miller and her coauthors had a begun research for this book several years before this terrorist attack. As she outlines the morning of 9/11, just blocks away from ground zero while watching these devastating physical

I must take all reasonable steps to ensure that the PPE is returned, once worn to the appropriate location and that the items are not removed from the workplace.

Not Washing hands frequently especially after dealing with any bodily fluids. Staff not staying at home if they are sick. Use a tissue, or cough and sneeze into your arm, not your hand. Turn away from other people. Open wounds not being covered especially on the hands. The incorrect use of PPE or the none use of PPE. Sharing personal items between each other. Incorrect food prep and storage.

Streptococcus Pyogenes is a very diverse bacteria with effects ranging from nothing or a mild sore throat, to flesh eating disease, causing death in 40-60% of patients. The major and most common illnesses associated with this bacteria

Strep throat is a typical sort of sore throat in children, yet it's not extremely regular in adults. Health care professionals can do a quick test to figure out whether a sore throat is strep throat and choose if anti-infective agents are required. Appropriate treatment can help feel better quicker and prohibit spreading it to others. When need to find out the cause to strep throat, health care professionals using by swabbing the throat in order to fast get the result (CDC). I think your research is valuable to what methods are better effective to diagnosis.

Commonly referred to as strep bacteria.” (Streptococci and streptococcal Infections). Streptococci are normal bacterial residents on the skin and mucous surfaces outside or inside humans. Streptococcus contains a variety of species some of which cause disease in humans and other animals.

: In the field of microbiology, there are times when a sample will contain more than one species of bacteria. The goal is to separate each bacterium and culture them independently from one another to identify them. This was the objective of this lab. Each stock contained two unknown bacterium, and the possible unknowns were Eserichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Enterobacter cloacae, Serratia marcescens, Proteus vulgaris, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Shigella flexneri, Shigella sonnei, and Salmonella enterica. The tests available were MacConkey agar, Endo agar, Hektoen Enteric agar, Tryptone Soya Agar (TSA), carbohydrate sugar broths, Triple Sugar Iron (TSI) agar, decarboxylase broths (arginine, lysine, and ornithine), Simmon’s Citrate Agar, urease

Whenever there is an unknown disease caused by microorganisms, tests are usually made in order to identify the organism causing the disease. There are several tests that need to be made and they include tests such as performing a gram stain, streaking a plate to isolate colonies, inoculating a broth culture, inoculating API strip, and performing oxidase and catalase tests. Having knowledge on how to identify these tests are of high importance in the medical field so it would be to the advantage of those individuals who know how to examine microorganisms and be able to identify it by correctly performing tests on organisms.

I decided to look at the bacteria Streptococcus for my paper. I chose this particular bacteria because my daughter just got over having strep throat and I have been told that I may be a carrier of it. Strep throat is caused by the bacteria Streptococcal Pharyngitis (Group A). I will tell you in this paper what the signs and symptoms, ways it is diagnosed, and treatment options are for group A streptococcus more commonly known as Strep Throat.

Streptococcus agalactiae, also known as Group B Streptococcus is identified as a gram-positive bacterium. S. agalactiae is a commensal bacterium found in the human digestive and genitourinary tract (Rosinski-Chupin, et al., 2015). S. agalactiae causes various diseases such as septicemia, meningitis, and pneumonia. Also, S. agalactiae infections occur predominately in pregnant women, neonates and elderly persons (Louvois, 1980). Due to the formation of its polysaccharide capsule, S. agalactiae can be treated with antibiotics such as penicillin, ampicillin and vancomycin (Bolukaoto, et al., 2015).

Many books that can be read will captivate you, can give you another world to live in, can sweep you off of your feet and never set you back down again. Rarely can a book alter your view so entirely about the world you live in, just by giving you more information about what exactly your world is made up of. The book Good Germs, Bad Germs did this for me. Each chapter strategically broke down the history of microbes and bacteria and how they have been perceived (or not perceived) throughout history. Each expanding step lists the theories that were building blocks for the future of the study of microbes. From Nurse Nightingale, Colonel George Waring, Antoni van Leeuwenhoek and Bonnie Bassler there were medical advances that helped the field of medicine greatly. Even groups who did not believe in the germs made large steps to clean up the population. Each person mentioned in the book had some sort of contribution to the start of fighting against bacteria and viruses, with Nurse Nightingale disinfecting the work area, Waring started cleaning up the streets and created the way to keep sewage separate from the drinking water and Leeuwenhoek who identified bacteria in the first place.

Explanation: Strep throat is a common condition afflicting both children and adults. Diagnosing this condition is usually straightforward, especially if using the validated Centor Criteria or modified Centor Criteria. Count these criteria, adding 1 for the presence of each of the following:

One of the many microorganisms that are present in human flora is Streptococcus Pyogenes. “This microorganism belongs in Group A β-hemolytic streptococcus” (VanMeter K.C and Hubert R.J, 2016,p.302). What is most surprising is that this same microorganism can also cause some of the most devastating diseases. According to Samson SY Wong and Kwok-Yung Yuen, (Streptococcus Pyogenes and re-emergence of scarlet fever as a public health problem,2012,para.2), “Streptococcus Pyogenes is one of the most virulent species causing human infections.” Conversely, if the same pathogen invades compromised skin, they can cause sepsis. Consequently, (Scarlet Fever: Overview-PubMed Health, 2017,p.2) “Although these kinds of serious complications are rare, they

Can proper medication be identified within hours of admittance to a hospital? At the moment this is impossibility. The current gold standard for bacterial identification is for a body fluid sample to be collected, often blood, and sent to a lab for a bacterial culture and analysis. According to Midi Labs, the base price for bacterial identification is $99 with a return time of three days [1]. The analysis can be expedited; however, the costs associated with this increase considerably (the highest listed at $175). Because of this delay time, it is possible for the infection to become a bloodstream infection (BSI) and escalate to sepsis.

The main for the purpose of this study was to find out about the tolerance of Listeria monocytogenes towards quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC). The antibacterial effects of disinfectants are crucial for the control of Listeria monocytogenes in food processing environments. Tolerance of L. monocytogenes to sub lethal levels of disinfectants based on QAC is conferred by the resistant determinants qacH and bcrABC. The QAC based disinfectants which are in common use in many food industries are found to have strains of qacH and bcrABC which are resistant to QAC. It helps in the growth of these microorganisms with those particular strains (Møretrø et al., 2017).
