infections, chemical reactions, drug allergies, some types of cancer, and inflammatory diseases. Some of the following bacteria may cause meningitis: Streptococcus pneumoniae, group B Streptococcus, Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria meningitides, and Listeria monocytogenes. As stated in its name, bacterial meningitis, requires a bacterium for and individual to contract the disease. The bacteria are spread through respiratory and throat excretions such as saliva. Saliva can be exchanged through kissing

for 2 min. The absorbance was measured at 440 nm within 2 min stirring period. The results were compared against standard curve developed using a concentration gradient of Na2So4 with BaCl2 (De Zoysa et al., 2007). 3.15. FTIR of purified polysaccharide FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) spectra of the partially purified SP were determined using FTIR spectrophotometer model 5700 (M/S Thermo electron Corporation, USA). Polysaccharide powder (2–3 mg) was mixed with KBr and pressed into a

food security remains a top concern, several countries have begun implementing regulations to protect their population for food-borne illnesses. Moreover, these countries understand the risk of their citizens contracting diseases such as Ebola and Listeria. Without adequate regulation, numerous people remain predisposed to such illnesses. For those unaware, these illnesses wreak havoc on the human body. In addition to countries such as the United States stepping up, corporations and businesses have

What Can Be Done About Flies? Introduction That is a pretty heady question and one that 1000’s of people who have to put up with flies, agonize about every year at fly season. And “fly season” is not the fly fishing kind, but the kind that are into everything, and they are everywhere. Flies are dirty, they are a nuisance, and we know, when there are flies around, there is usually something rotten that is attracting them. It could be a dead animal, uncovered garbage, or rotting plant material;

that occurs in an infant younger than 3 months old. Early-onset sepsis is normally seen during the first week of life. It is most often caused by bacteria or infection acquired by the mother during her pregnancy. Cause Escherichia coli (E.coli); Listeria; some strains of streptococcus; herpes virus can also cause a severe infection in a newborn baby. Contributing Factors Group B streptococcus infection during pregnancy; Preterm delivery; Water breaking (rupture of membranes) longer than 24 hours

Abstract The extracted essential oil, from aerial parts of organically cultured blue mint ‎bush (Ziziphora clinopodioides), was biochemically analyzed using GS-MS to ‎identify its main active components. The antimicrobial activity of the essential oil ‎was evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively, using disc diffusion and agar ‎macro-dilution assays, respectively. ‎ Out of the 22 identified compounds in Z. clinopodioides essential oil, the main ‎identified constituents were Pulegone, Piperitenone

Food safety is one of the primary concerns in our industry, especially to those who process food in large amounts. Therefore, proper sanitation must be provided in order to destroy microorganisms that could possibly spoil and contaminate food products. Sanitizers are substances used to reduce and inhibit most microorganisms present in surfaces of equipment and utensils. They are usually in the form of liquid mixture applied directly on the surface of equipment or any material that may come in contact

period. The results were compared against standard curve developed using a concentration gradient of Na2So4 with BaCl2 (De Zoysa et al., 2007). 3.15. FTIR of purified polysaccharide FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) spectra of purified PS fractions were determined using FT-IR spectrophotometer model 5700 (M/S Thermo electron Corporation, USA). Polysaccharide powder (2–3 mg) was mixed with KBr and pressed into a disk. The whole IR spectrum was analyzed with a scan range of 4000–400 cm-1

Many people have heard about meningitis but they are not exactly sure what it is. According to the Center for Disease Control, Meningitis is a disease caused by the inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord known as the meninges. The inflammation is usually caused by an infection of the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It is most common in children although, it can attack people of all ages. In 1805, “ Vieusseux first discovered Meningococcal meningitis

A portion of (2–3 mg) from the partially purified polysaccharide powder was mixed with KBr then pressed into a disk. The whole infrared spectrum was analyzed at a scan range of 4000–400 cm-1. Thirty scans were taken with 4 cm-1 resolution. CO2 and H2O corrections were incorporated. Reproducibility of the normalized spectra was ±2%. (Shanthi et al., 2014). 3.16. Testing isolates probiotic properties 3.16.1. Blood hemolysis Hemolysis test was performed according to the method described by Guttmann
