Listeria

is an infection in the blood of a newborn, occurring usually before they are 90 days old. Early onset sepsis can be seen in the first week of life, even as early as 24 hours following delivery. Cause Bacteria such as Escherichia coli (E.coli), Listeria, certain strains of Streptococcus and even the Herpes virus can all lead to the infection; the infant gets the infection while in the uterus, or during birth. Other factors that can increase the baby’s risk are the mother being infected with Group

Biocontrol of seven Vero-toxigenic E. coli with lytic bacteriophage for lettuce, sprouts, and seeds With the high morbidity and mortality in hemorrhagic colitis outbreaks caused by E. coil O157:H4, Verotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC) was first described in Canada during the 1980s (Woodward 2002) Verotoxigenic E coli (VTEC) or Shiga-toxigenic E coli, including O157:H7 and other non-O157 serogroups, include O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, and O145, which are increasingly cause foodborn illness in United

Salmonella and Listeria can lead to hospitalization, and a restaurant should not be able to get away with sticking you with the big medical bills that can come from it. Food poisoning doesn’t just happen at restaurants though, since it can even happen from food that is

neonatal meningitis , broadly grouped as bacteria,virus and fungi. However, bacteria are the most common cause of this disease. The following bacteria are known cause neonatal meningitis: Group B streptococcus( streptococcus agalactaie) Escherichia coli Listeria monocytogenes Streptococcus pneumoniae ESCHERICHIA COLI (E.COLI) MENINGITIS The bacteria live in the small intestine all healthy people as part of the normal flora. Infection in new born babies occur during delivery, or from bacteria acquired

Assume you’re at home your eating peanut butter and jelly sandwich. You turn on your television, and found out that the peanut butter you were eating was recalled. The new anchor explained that the brand that you consumed had E. coli. The anchor also explained the potential effects of E. coli bacteria. Later that day, you experience severe diarrhea, vomiting, and severe abdominal pain. The first thing that may come to mind is “What caused the E. Coli outbreak?” On the other hand, you may be thinking

Personal injury suits that involve faulty or defective products are referred to as products liability actions. When a manufacturer or distributor puts an item in the marketplace, it is supposed to be safe for its intended use. This includes toys, machines, cars, and food products. One food product that has recently seen its share of media attention due to illness (or injury) is ice cream giant Blue Bell. The creamery is based in the Lone Star state, and it has had its share of brain freezes recently

Fermentation is a natural process. Meaning that it has always been constantly happening whether we are aware or not. When it comes to fermented foods, it speaks on a fermentation process that has been manipulated for centuries by mankind. Humans have taken this pure process and used it as a way to preserve flavors, and create exciting new flavors. There are the common foods that many are aware of that undergo fermentation including bread, yogurt, wine, and beer. But the new trend in the fermentation

intestines that assist in the extraction of nutrients from food items. Harmful bacterium on the other hand are pathogens and viruses, all varying in severity but all still harmful to our bodies. Examples of these types of bacterium would be Influenza, Listeria, and E. coli. In this experiment we are using a variety of common cleaning agents to test the overall efficiency of eradicating bacterium and then continuing to keep their growth rate at bay. These cleaning agents are all incredibly common; available

Bacteria cells are examples of prokaryotes (simple cells). They have no nucleus thus, their DNA are clumped in an area without a nucleus or membrane. Although prokaryotes do not have organelles such as Chloroplasts, mitochondria or nuclei, bacteria cells still have ribosomes (Radar, Andrew). Bacteria reproduce and duplicate by the process of binary fission. Binary fission is the processes in which a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells each with identical DNA to the parent cell

Introduction Soil is a complex system that is habitat to more than a million diverse microorganisms. These microorganisms are unable to be seen by the naked eye; so you can only imagine how many there are in any given sample. The number of bacteria in any given sample is usually unable to be counted directly because there are too many. To put that number into perspective, a single gram of soil can harbor up to 1010 bacterial cells (Raynaud X, Nunan N, 2014). It is essential for many industries
