Microbes, despite being the most abundant organisms on Earth, were relatively inconspicuous to humans until the 17th century. These life forms have evolved their mechanisms of growth and survival in order to face the harsh conditions of the planet. While it often seems like two types of microbes, viruses and bacteria, have only impacted human life by increasing the fatality rate, Dorothy H. Crawford’s book, Deadly Companions, refutes this claim. Crawford argues that there are more important effects involved with microbial presence, as they have thrived during specific stages of human cultural history and have had a major impact on previous generations that have become lasting developments. More specifically, microbes have forced humans, the…

We are a lot like Chimpanzees when it comes to the bacteria and microbes we carry in our body’s. I learned a lot about how chimpanzee’s intestines work and how they need to be social in order to remain healthy. The article mostly focused on the changes in bacteria and microbe levels when the chimpanzees were social. I like the article and what it was about. It had some interesting things in it that I had never heard of before I read this article. There is not much about the article that I would change. It made the point it was trying to get across clear and it the flowed together very well. The only question I still have about the article and topic is how are the chimpanzees affected when the bacteria levels are low? The article only mentioned that the levels were low when they are not sociable but not about what happens to them when it is low. At the end of the article it speaks about the gut microbiomes in humans. There has not been a study done on humans because some of the things they did to the chimpanzees are not allowed to be done on…

The outbreak I will be studying is the anthrax bioterrorism of 2001. The outbreak began in the Florida Postal Service and spread throughout the entire nation over a short period of time. The epidemic unofficially began on October 4th when there were findings of anthrax in the mail, but the first reported case/illness was on October 12th, 2001. The causative agent of anthrax is Bacillus Anthracis (American Anthrax). Although the anthrax issue was unknown to many before 2001, the bioterrorism opened everyone’s eyes about how deadly anthrax can be.…

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, because new strains continue to emerge, it is of the utmost importance that microbiologists and microbiology students understand the nature of each bacterial species and how that species creates and maintains its complex communities.
