Treatment for infected people involve antibiotics, steroids, intensive care, and droplet precautions. Prophylactic antibiotics are usually given to prevent the spread of the disease to those in close contact of the infected people.

There are several body systems, for example the digestive system, the respiratory system and cardiovascular system. I am going to look at the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. They are important because they help people grow, reproduce and maintain life. The body system needs energy for it to function. Our body gets energy from digesting food and using it in the respiration process.

Although some agar plates were hard to see if the streptomycin had a definitive zone of inhibition. Ampicillin, erythro-mycin, penicillin, sulphafurazole was ineffective with no inhibition zone.

The writer inquired from the patient about what will work for him for the sake of the patient to take his recovery serious.

Define equilibrium potential: Equilibrium channels can be calculated using the Nernst Equation and the Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz equation. Equilibrium potentials are membrane potentials when an ion does not diffuse through the membrane. It is also associated with potassium leaving the cell through leak channels.

Tetracyclines and erythromycin are the most commonly used oral antimicrobials. In many cases, long-term treatment is needed to maintain remission. The long-term use of antimicrobials is not well tolerated, however, because of side-effects, including gastrointestinal intolerance,

Tularemia is caused by the highly contagious, gram negative bacteria Francisella tularensis. When found in nature, the bacteria can survive up to several weeks and withstand low temperatures in reservoirs of water, soil, and dead animals. Tularemia was used in WWII and other wars as a biological weapon and is still considered a hazardous threat today due to the high mortality rate of 30% to 60% in most cases. The only research that is done with Tularemia today is for a development of a vaccination.

Tularemia is a rare bacterial infection deriving from the bacterium Francisella tularensis. Depending on where the exposure occurs, the effects could be different. This agent is usually found in small animals and rodents, such as rabbits and mice. Although tularemia is subject to humans and can be passed through humans.
