POST1 Mucormysis is a rare but highly aggressive and a fatal infection that affects immunocompromised patients. Mucormycosis infections have increasingly become very common. The survival of such infections is also very poor. Iron metabolism plays a very important role in regulating mucor infections. Deferoxamine predisposes patients to mucormycosisby supplying the fungus containing iron.From these findings‚ it is possible to treat the infection by using iron chelator as long as the chelator does

Vibrio cholerae‚ Salmonella enteritidis‚ Staphylococcus aureus‚ and Escherichia coli were used as the test organisms in the experiment. Escherichia coli was isolated from a local lake‚ river‚ and agriculture livestock which was the Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) and Tilapia (Oreochromis

Today‚ certain antibiotics are used in fighting certain diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli. However‚ due to the improper usage of these antibiotics and the increasing antibiotic resistance of the bacteria‚ a lot of the medicines commonly used before to fight the same bacteria are now considered ineffective and because of it‚ scientists try to find ways such as discovering new antibiotics or recommending to the citizens some procedures and ways

closer to the objective lens‚ using the coarse- or fine- adjustment knobs. The two objects that were studied was the Paramecium caudatum which is a bacteria‚ and Amoeba proteus which is an protozoa. Our hypothesis are that we will discover an bacillus‚ coccus‚ or a spiral shaped bacteria. Paramecium caudatum/ Bacteria Species of Paramecium can be distinguished from other ciliates by their cigar or slipper shape and the undulating membrane within the peristome - a furrow that leads to the

of insecticide was discovered‚ particularly for corn. In this new case‚ the organism itself is genetically modified for protection. This insect-resistant corn is the new Bt-corn and contains genetic material from the donor organism‚ a bacterium. Bacillus thuringiensis contains a protein that kills the larvae of Ostrinia nubilalis‚ European corn borers‚ but is harmless to other insects (Bessin‚ 1999). When the Bt is consumed by the larvae‚ toxins paralyze the insectfs intestines‚ eventually causing

MICROBIOLOGY SECTION The microbiology section aims at studying yu ailments and diseases from the isolation of suspected causative organisms. The processes involved in the isolation of these organisms include; culturing‚ staining‚ microscopy and sensitivity tests. Samples collected for examination include; stool‚ blood‚ sputum‚ urine‚ vaginal swab‚ wound swab and wound biopsy. Bacterial Culturing and sensitivity Cultures are carried out to isolate suspected organisms from a sample. There are different
