Meningitis And The Different Types of This Disease Your Name Your College Introduction to Human Biology 1101-01 Prepared for: Professor Braun January 14‚ 2013 Meningitis Meningitis is an infection of the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord‚ which is called the meninges‚ and causes inflammation. This inflammation can be caused by a virus‚ bacteria‚ or other microorganisms‚ but can also be causes by certain types of drugs which is very rare. Meningitis is

Bacterial Biology █ BRIAN D. HOYLE An understanding of the fundamentals of bacterial biology is critical to bacteriologists and other forensic investigators attempting to identify potential biogenic pathogens that may be exploited as agents in biological warfare or by bioterrorists. Fundamentals of Bacterial Biology Bacteria are one-celled prokaryotic organisms that lack a true nucleus (i.e.‚ a nucleus defined by a membrane). Bacteria maintain their genetic material‚ deoxyribonucleic

According to VanMeter and Hubert (2014)‚ meningitis is a bacterial infection caused in the meninges of the central nervous system. The pathophysiology of this infection‚ as the authors decribes‚ begins with microorganisms makes their way to the brain through blood‚ extension of tissues that are in proximity‚ or access directly from wounds. Microbes would then bind to nasopharyneal cells in order to cross the mucosal barrier‚ then entering into cerebrospinal fluid from being attached to the choroid

contaminates water and food usually seafood. It can cause diarrhea and water loss. This disease spreads through the contaminated water and food that we consume. 2. Meningitis Meningitis can be caused either by a virus or bacteria. Many different types of bacteria can cause meningitis but the majority of cases of bacterial meningitis are the meningococcal or the pneumococcal. The bacteria cannot live outside the human body. It thrives on the back of the nose and throat‚ or in the upper respiratory

The disease I’ve chosen to write my research paper on is Bacterial Vaginosis. Bacterial Vaginosis is vaginal condition that can produce vaginal discharge and results from an overgrowth of normal bacteria in the vagina. In the past‚ the condition was called Gardnerella vaginitis‚ after the bacteria that was believed to have caused the condition. However‚ the newer name‚ Bacterial Vaginosis‚ reflects the fact that there are a number of species of bacteria that naturally live in the vaginal area and

Pneumococcal meningitis is an infection that causes swelling and inflammation of the meninges of the brain and spinal cord. It is caused when the bacteria flows through the blood and affects the membranes that are around the brain and spinal cord. The bacteria multiplies in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) the bacteria releases poison in to the CSF which causes swelling in the meninges and the brain tissue. Which in turns causes swelling of the brain causing increased pressure on the brain. This produces

Bacterial are very diverse and quite adaptable‚ but they still need certain factors in order to thrive. The physical requirements for bacterial growth include pH range‚ temperature‚ oxygen concentrations‚ moisture levels‚ hydrostatic pressure‚ osmotic pressure‚ and radiation levels. When considering the pH level‚ bacteria are classified as either acidophiles (acid-loving)‚ neutrophiles (neutral ph range)‚ or alkaliphiles (alkali-loving). The one that causes disease in humans would be the neutrophiles

traveled from Sidney‚ Australia through Los Angeles International airport to JFK International Airport. This passenger began to feel ill and required assistance at the JKF airport. This passenger was hospitalized and diagnosed with meningococcal meningitis. From 1999 through 2001 the CDC received 21 reports of air-travel associated meningococcal disease‚ every 6 weeks on average. The spread of airborne pathogens including Neisseria meningitides‚ are spread easily in the environment of a Commercial
