5.2. Responses to bacteria Although bacterial infections are one of the main problems in the aquaculture industry, very few studies regarding the intestinal response to bacterial pathogens after natural infections can be found in the literature. Additionally, the number of studies performed in the laboratory under controlled conditions is low, prompting the need for more in-depth experiments to determine the role of GALT in bacterial infections. Enteric redmouth disease (ERM, or yersiniosis) is one

patients who suffer severe symptoms. Such symptoms may occur as a result of late treatment, or as a result of inappropriate treatment modules. If the persons with severe symptoms tend to be treated appropriately, less than 1% of them would die from it. Vibrio Cholerae is the primary agent

cholera in present times is estimated to affect anywhere from 1.4 to 4.3 million children and adults every year.1 The disease is especially rampant during the rainy season, when the climate is wet and the bacteria spread easily.2 The bacteria strain Vibrio cholerae can culture itself in water, thus contaminating it and making the water dangerous to anyone who

Diarrhoea Diarrhoea is a killer disease is young children. One in four deaths in children under the age of 5 is estimated to be due to diarrhoea. It is the passage of loose, liquid or watery stool. In many regions, diarrhoea is defined as passage of three or more loose or watery stool, in 1980 in the developing countries, an estimated 5 million children under 5 years of age-about 10 every minute-died as a consequence of diarrhoea! disease. These deaths were an outcome of the some 1000 million episodes

the crew’s exposure to radiation. We used a variety of chemical assays and worked with radioactive and hazardous material, often under less than optimal circumstances. After the military I completed my degree in microbiology and did research on vibrio bacteria at University of California Irvine. This work consisted of DNA extraction,

Bacteria are single-cell microorganisms that cannot be seen by the naked human eye. Bacteria are in many different classifications. Anaerobic bacteria, also known as anaerobes, are bacteria that do not survive with the assistance of oxygen. Generally, in humans they live in the gastrointestinal tract, but are also found in other places outside the body, such as, in soil and water, in foods, and in animals. Some anaerobes are beneficial to humans, although many others can cause sicknesses, such as

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention documented that “about one out of six Americans get sick (approximately 48 million people), 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die each year from foodborne diseases” (CDC.gov). According to the FDA this is a significant public health concern which can be preventable (FDA.gov). This was the main reason why on January 4th, 2011, President Obama signed the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) into law. Some specific examples and major events that might

The purpose of the article ‘Quorum-sensing regulation in staphylococci—an overview’ is to provide a better understanding of quorum-sensing regulation among staphylococci. Quorum sensing is one of the regulatory mechanism by which staphylococci regulates the gene expression in accordance with its population density and surrounding environment through the use of signal molecules during cell-to- cell communication. Such mechanism is important for the staphylococci pathogenesis, as it provides coordination

returned to the Americas with on-going transmission in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. New, more virulent and drug-resistant strains of Vibrio cholerae continue to emerge, and the frequency of large protracted outbreaks with high case fatality ratios has increased, reflecting the lack of early detection, prevention and access to timely health care. Vibrio cholerae, a member of the family Vibrionaceae, is a facultatively anaerobic, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming curved rod, about 1.4–2.6mm long
