Importance of Microbiology| in Nursing Agriculture Pharmacy Advertisement Microbiology is a subject dealing with microbes and related concepts. Microbiology has come a long way since discovery of microbes and is presently of great help to mankind. It is used in health care‚ food production‚ diagnosis‚ production of alcohol‚ maintenance of sterility and cleanliness etc. Though the subject was initially limited to study of microbes and their characteristics or properties‚ latter it was explored to

biofilms When bacteria is threatened by antibiotics treatment that can kill them‚ or when a strong immune system responses to bacteria and produce cytokines or other agents to eliminate it from the body‚ Bacteria has the choice of either staying as individual and die or change their form to make biofilms. Biofilms are communities or bacteria binds together in large groups and make a sticky mesh to make themselves resistant against antibiotics. Some drug that can kill single bacteria will not

Understand how to maintain a clean environment to prevent the spread of infection. 1.1 State the general principals for environmental cleaning The general principals for environmental cleaning are to ensure the hospital environment is as clean as possible to reduce the risk of infection‚ and that all precautions are taken in accordance to legislation and Healthcare policy’s and guidelines. “To prevent the transfer of micro-organisms which

the souring of milk was caused by living organisms. He would boil liquids known to ferment in a “swan necked flask” and let them cool‚ he found that none of them went through fermentation after being boiled. This confirmed the theory that living microorganisms were the cause of many diseases and illnesses. This changed pathology forever and Pasteur’s work led to the introduction of antiseptic procedures into

Community Clay idea that stated molecules came together on clay that allowed them to concentrate in a particular area and organized them into patterns as our genes are known to do. Deep-sea vents were recognized as the earliest possible place where microorganisms would have begun to develop; the vents again allowing molecules to concentrate and feed off of their rich chemical and thermal energy. A most fictional theory is known as panspermia – which states that Earth didn’t begin here at all; rather the

My article is called Living long beneath the sea‚ and I got it from www.sciencenewsforkids.org. Some individuals who were involved were Hans Roy‚ a biologist from Aarhus University in Denmark. Who was been studying microbes that live beneath the Pacific Ocean‚ near the equator. Karen Lloyd‚ a biologist at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. She’s worked with Roy but not on this study. Lastly‚ Seth Shostak‚ an astronomer at the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute in Mountain

It is only known that the two organisms are from vomit; one is gram-positive and the other is gram-negative. It is necessary to first separate the two organisms by inoculating a nutrient agar plate using the streak-plate method. The

The Problem of Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria in Hospitals. Introduction Antibiotic resistant bacteria are bacteria who can survive after exposure to one or more antibiotics. Some bacteria present today can even be resistant to multiple antibiotics and these are sometimes referred to by the name Multidrug resistant (MDR). Today many clinically important bacteria are MDR’s and this is a direct result of past decades of antimicrobial use and misuse. If an infection results from this sort of resistant

Introduction Although bacteria is microscopic in size‚ it is largely important in the healthcare field‚ environmental work‚ food preparation‚ as well as many other industries. In particular‚ it is essential that healthcare workers be able to identify the species of bacteria invading a human reservoir in order to prescribe the correct antibiotic that will kill that species. For the purpose of bacteria identification‚ numerous tests have been devised to find out the exact species in question. However
