Identification and Diagnosis of Unknown Enteric Bacteria in an Infected Patient Using an Enteropluritube Brooke Addario 2/16/2015 BIO 488C - Section J TA – Jacob Karsten Introduction: Enteric bacteria are members of the Enterobacteriaceae family of microorganisms. These gram negative‚ rod shaped‚ facultative anaerobes are found in the intestinal tracts of humans and animals. Enteric bacteria can be pathogenic; however‚ they are also a normal part of human bacterial flora and are therefore

The unknown bacteria A and bacteria B have to be identified by its genus and species. First both bacteria had to be inoculated into a TSA agar media using the streak plate method. Four quadrants were drawn‚ so that the bacteria could be isolated as much as possible. Each bacteria was inoculated into two different plates‚ so that one could be incubated at 37 degrees Celsius and the other at 25 degrees Celsius. Bacteria B‚ which was incubated at room temperature showed red colonies throughout its media

How Are Infections Spread? Alicia Todd University of Mobile How Are Infections Spread? According to Lynch‚ Elmore and Morgan (2012)‚ millions of people die each year from infectious diseases such as influenza‚ malaria‚ tuberculosis‚ and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (p. 245). Everything we eat‚ breathe‚ or touch throughout the day puts us at risk for developing an infection. Knowing how infections are spread will decrease these risks and is crucial for overall health. No matter how hard one

Infection Control Summary: Infection control in a health care facility is the prevention of the spread of microorganisms between patient to patient‚ patient to staff member‚ and staff member to patient. Health care workers. All health care workers who have contact with patients and equipment must all adhere to the Infection Control Policies and Procedures to prevent from spreading infection to one another. In most of the health care facilities‚ many ill people are being treated and cared for

Anaerobic respiration in Bacteria Like humans and other animals‚ bacteria need to breathe. Anaerobic bacteria basically mean bacteria that respire anaerobically. All living cells need to respire in order to release energy for vital cell activities. Anaerobic respiration is respiration in the absence of oxygen‚ hence anaerobic bacteria does not breathe at all. The purpose of respiration is to provide the cell with the appropriate molecules for creating energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate

Our body is prone to many fungal infections. Some cause internal issues while the symptoms of some are visible in our body‚ from outside. Ringworm is one such fungal infection that happens on different parts of our body‚ from outside. This Ringworm‚ or tinea‚ alludes to a few sorts of infectious contagious contaminations of the top layer of the skin‚ scalp‚ and nails. There is a typical misconception identified with Ringworm. Because of its name numerous trusts that it is some sort of illness that

Oxygen Requirements of Bacteria BACKGROUND The GasPak system is useful for culturing anaerobic bacteria on standard microbiological media because the GasPak generates carbon dioxide and hydrogen. The hydrogen will combine with oxygen present in an anaerobic jar to produce water. This system can reproducibly attain oxygen levels in the parts per million range if used correctly. This is the best method for determining the oxygen requirements of unknown organisms. A candle jar is useful

Healthcare acquired infections also known as nosocomial infections are defined as an infection obtained by a patient 48 hours or later after admission into a healthcare service. Any infections thought to be obtained prior to 48 hours are considered to be obtained within the community (Gould et al‚ 2000). This standard of the 48 hour inoculation period is however arbitrary as it has remained the standard for many years despite the variable rate of incubation in different bacteria (Ami et al‚ 2003).
