Candidiasis: Overview and Causes Candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by yeasts that belong to the genus Candida. There are at least 15 distinct Candida species that cause human disease, but >90% of invasive disease is caused by the 5 most common pathogens, C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis, and C. krusei with candida albicans being the most prevalent.(Ostrosky-Zeichner et al., 2015) Candida yeasts normally reside in the intestinal tract and can be found on mucous membranes

Antibacterial soaps are a trend these days. Every day we see various advertisements about the advantages of using antibacterial soaps that they helps us get rid of the harmful microorganisms and they can help get rid of the bacteria that get attached to our skin from our environment or from elsewhere; that they will make us healthy and will save us from getting diseases due to the pathogens on our skin (most importantly hands as they can transfer the pathogens into our gastrointestinal system). They

Enduring Understanding 4.A: Interactions Within biological systems lead to complex properties. Overview Almost every aspect of biology involves interaction between different components and systems. It starts all the way at the cellular level with the interactions of cell organelles that allow a cell to function and it goes all the way up to the way different ecosystems come together to form complex communities and interactions. It is these interactions that make biological systems complex and how

Microbiology, Test 3 Study Guide Chapters 14, 15, 16 and 17 Chapter 14 This chapter is about the principles of disease and epidemiology. Epidemiology – the science that studies when and where diseases occur and how they are transmitted. CDC, Atlanta, tracks and traces diseases. ONE World (the idea that it’s all in one place, it could happen anywhere; locally, states, large counties track the incidences and occurrences of disease)

Biology Socio-Scientific issues Topic: Genetic Modification Question: Should New Zealand genetically modify crops for economic purposes? Introduction: Genetic modification has been used in New Zealand since the 1970’s. Genetic modification, also known as Genetic Engineering is the act of directly manipulating the characteristics of an organism by modifying its genetic materials (Deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA) to produce new or improved organisms. In 1996 New Zealand passed the ‘Hazardous Substances

Title------Critically examine both the tensions and shared interests in the relationship between public relations practitioners and journalists. As public relations and journalism, the PR practitioners and the journalist are always related to each other nowadays. Both of them are important factors of the modern mass media, which aim to influence public opinions since the early twentieth century (Coombs and Holladay, 2010). In order to sharp citizen’s opinions, Charron(1989) mentions that the PR
