Bacteriology

The study of two unknown microorganisms was completed by using methods taught in the microbiology laboratory. The basis of the study was identification of those two microorganisms. Identification of the microorganisms is important in many aspects of medicine. Some of these include source of infection, proper treatment, and which antibiotics are effective against the microorganism present. METHODS AND MATERIALS An unknown mixed culture was distributed by the Microbiology instructor labeled with a

Bacterial gastroenteritis, a case report- 5 Gastroenteritis is an illness due to the inflammation and infection of the digestive system, where symptoms are characterised by abdominal pain and cramps, vomiting, diarrhoea, nausea, bloating and in some cases blood and pus present in stools (Department of Health, Victoria 2012). The pathogens responsible for gastroenteritis are bacteria, viruses, protozoa, yeast and fungi. Bacterial gastroenteritis can be caused by ingestion of pathogens or their toxins

Throughout the eighteenth-century great strides were being made in the medical field regarding the understanding of disease, biology, and public health. With the contributions of scientists, doctors, and researchers the overall health of the ever-growing population in the eighteenth-century began to improve dramatically. By the early nineteen hundreds, life expectancy had risen to about 55 years. The introduction and understanding of antiseptics, sterilization, and etiology and discoveries of Pasteur

pneumoniae I believe I have a subspeciesof K. pneumoniae perhaps K. pheumoniae ozaenae or K. pneumoniae rhinoscleromatis. Indole, MR-VP and Citrate will vary among different subspecies according to bergey's manual of determinative bacteriology. The reason why I decided on K. pneumoniae over E. aerogenes is because of the gelatin and motile test. According to bergey's manual, Enterobacter liquefies gelatin very slowly and in addition E. aerogenes will test positive for motility. To

Chemistry is used in everyday life even if we aren’t aware of it. Chemist are so important because they have discovered so many things that are so important to know. Everything humans do is chemistry like breathing, eating, or just being still. Without chemist we would have no understanding about a lot of things in the world. Louis Pasteur, a French chemist and microbiologist, was known for his discoveries of vaccinations, pasteurization, and microbial fermentation. He is recalled for the incredible

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a motile, rod-shaped, gram-negative organism. It is an opportunistic, nosocomial pathogen. P. aeruginosa is reported to affect around 3700 to 4000 people per year. Although P. aeruginosa is ubiquitous in the environment in things such as soil, water, and plants, it is also commonly acquired in hospitals; especially in intensive care units. It rarely occurs in a healthy person. The infection occurs in people who are already hospitalized or have a weak immune system. An example

actual cures were developed for a several endemic disease. Medicine was extremely revolutionized in the 19th century, and the advances in laboratory and chemistry techniques replaced the ideas of infectious disease epidemiology with virology and bacteriology. The American civil war that occurred between the years 1861 to 1865 led to

century. Modern medicine arguably emerged. Both normal and abnormal functions (physiology and pathology) were increasingly understood within smaller units, first the tissues and then the cells. Microscopy also played a key role in the development of bacteriology. Physicians started to use stethoscope as an aid in diagnosing certain diseases and conditions. New ways of diagnosing disease were developed, and surgery emerged as an important branch of medicine. Above all, a combination of science and technology
