Unknown Microorganism: #5 Report Callie Schalk Microbiology Professor Quave November 24‚ 2015 The unknown microorganism #5 is Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It can survive in a variety of environments and at temperatures found in clinical settings (Murray et al‚ 1999). Clinical setting is referring to temperatures such as those in the hospital environment. P. aeruginosa can also survive in aqueous environments. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is found at several different sources. Nosocomial

Introduction: Diseases can be communicable or non-communicable. Communicable diseases are caused by infectious microorganisms which are pathogens. The aim of this passage is to discuss various types of microorganisms that cause disease. Microorganisms are simple organisms that are unicellular or live in colonies. The group contains bacteria‚ virus‚ algae‚ fungi‚ protozoa. They can be divided into pathogenic and non-pathogenic. In this passage pathogenic microorganisms that cause diseases are concerned.

Abstract Objectives: Entero-pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus (EPSA) and Escherica coli (EPEC) were treated with a methanol extract of Phyllanthus amarus‚ in vitro‚ to investigate the possible effects of the herb on these organisms. Zones of Inhibition (ZI) of the extract on EPSA and

Inflammatory lung processes‚ such as obstructive pulmonary disease‚ emphysema‚ chronic bronchitis‚ pneumonia and tuberculosis are also known risk factors for lung cancer‚ with significant effects observed for pneumonia and tuberculosis among never smokers4‚5‚6. The role of microorganisms as single pathogens in carcinogenesis is known for a long time‚ with 15% of the global cancer burden

INTRODUCTION Microorganisms such as bacteria‚ fungus‚ mold‚ and yeast are present and common in almost every environment on earth. The normally microscopic organisms can easily be seen using differing types of agar‚ which creates an ideal environment for the organisms to form colonies‚ which are groups of hundreds of organisms that can be seen with the naked eye. In order to see individual microorganisms‚ it is necessary to use the magnification of a high-powered microscope. These techniques

Humans and Microorganisms Humans will always use microbes. They occur in everyday life‚ everyday without fail. We use them for little things like inside to food production. However they are the root of some very unpleasant conditions like cholera and tuberculosis. To begin with‚ nearly every human being with consume food that has been produced using microbes or its self is a microorganism. Mushrooms are a good example of this as they are fungi which are eaten across the globe. You do need to

Microbes or microorganisms are minute living things that individually are too small to be seen with the naked eye. There are several benefits of microorganisms; in fact‚ most microbes are beneficial‚ only a minute percentage of microbes are hazardous or can cause disease (J. Black‚ 2012). The following are benefits of microbiology: 1. Certain microbes play important roles in photosynthesis thereby generating food and oxygen which is critical to life. 2. Microbes have great applications in the food

literally microscopic organisms‚ which can only be seen properly with the aid of a microscope. These include bacteria‚ microscopic fungi (moulds) and protoctists. Although viruses‚ which are even smaller than bacteria‚ are generally considered to be non- living entities‚ they might also be included here as they are important disease-causing agents. Micro-organisms are the most numerous organisms in any ecosystem. There are about 159‚000 known species‚ although this is thought to be less than 5% of
