The indole test is a test that determines the ability of an organism to separate from the tryptophan molecule. The organism Enterobacter aerogenes is aseptically removed from an agar slant and spread over a square on the Indole dry slide. If there was a positive reaction the slide would turn a red color, and if there was no color change then the results would be negative. The next tests are the Methyl Red broth and Voges Proskaur broths are inoculated using the broth inoculation technique used in

The major risk factor for pre invasive or invasive cervical carcinoma is infection with the human papilloma virus (HPV). HPV DNA is detected in virtually all cervical cancers, with HPV subtypes 16, 18, and 31 identified most commonly. Other known risk factors include early age at first intercourse, number of sexual partners, and a positive smoking history. Cervical carcinoma spreads predominantly by local invasion and lymphatic metastasis. The most common metastatic sites include the vagina, parametrium

During pregnancy, the consumption of fats plays a key role in the development of the fetus. A dietary fat is an essential nutrient that helps the body function by providing protection, fuel and absorption for cells, tissues and organs. The fats consumed are Triglycerides and the mechanism behind this process is for lipoprotein lipase (LPL) to break the triglycerides into smaller components. They mostly contain fatty acids, cholesterol, fat-soluble vitamins and other lipids that will be delivered

The chemotherapy drug methotrexate is an alkaloid that has been used as a treatment for acute lymphocytic leukemia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, osteosarcoma, choriocarcinoma, head and neck cancer, and breast cancer.
