The role of microorganisms as single pathogens in carcinogenesis is known for a long time‚ with 15% of the global cancer burden attributable to infectious agents7.

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. A disease is an abnormal condition

Throughout the session the bacteria changed in shape and how large it grew in many different ways. There were many different results in every bacteria that was examined‚ no bacteria looked alike towards one another. The bacteria in order to be produced it need to be put nutrient agar that would nourish it. The bacteria

Temperature effects on the growth of microorganisms Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effects that temperature has on three different organisms. Temperature is one of the most important environmental factors affecting growth and survival of microorganisms². The three organisms used where Escherichia coli‚ Pseudomonas fluorescens‚ and Bacillus stearothermophilis. Most bacteria grow within a particular temperature range. The minimum growth temperature is

The Impact of Microorganisms on Human Affairs What is microbiology? Microbiology is the study of microorganisms or microbes. The word micro means small in Greek‚ implying that microbes are very minute or small life forms that cannot be seen with just the naked eye. One would need a microscope to see these small life forms. Microbes are everywhere and have a large impact on the world. It all started when one of the most important discoveries in history was made in 1665. Englishman‚ Robert Hooke

prevention of the transfer of amino acid for growing peptide chains which leads to the inhibition of the formation of bacterial protein. (Michigan State University‚ 2011). Chloramphenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic. (Hitner et al.‚ 2016). Bacterial microorganisms become resistant by the inactivation of chloramphenicol through the enzyme acetyltransferases. (Rang et al.‚ 2016). Chloramphenicol resistance are very common in Staphylococcus spp. such as Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Staphylococcus

Colonisation is when microorganisms become a part of the normal internal flora. These mircoorganisms are not harmful to the human‚ but when they reproduce and multiply they join the natural flora of the body and they all live together. Infection is when a pathogen (infection causing microorganism) invades the body and start to reproduce in any tissue of the human. Examples of infection include the common cold‚ skin infections (warts) and gastroenteritis. Disease refers to a disruption in the sturture

Micro-organisms Micro-organisms Micro-organisms (or microbes) are 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

A Survey of Eukaryotic Cells and Microorganisms HISTORY OF EUKARYOTES: 1. Evidence indicates that the first Eukaryotic cells first appeared on the earth approximately 2 billion years ago. Fossilized cells appear in shale sediments from China‚ Russia and Australia the date from 850-950 million years ago. 2. Biologists have discovered evidence to suggest that the eukaryotic cell evolved from prokaryotic organisms by a process of intracellular symbiosis. 3. Some of the organelles that
