Introduction: Escherichia coli is a bacterium that can affect our health or even kill. Like most bacteria‚ E. coli is able to change and progress into different forms based on genetic changes that they can go through. One example of this genetic change is shown in the E. coli becoming immune to ampicillin is blood infections. Because ampicillin has been used so frequently to fight the symptoms of an E. coli infection‚ the bacteria has been able to change itself genetically by producing more of

Louis Pasteur And The Alcoholic Fermentation Abstract: Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) was a French chemist and microbiologist known for his discoveries in the field of vaccination‚ pasteurization and microbial fermentation. His discoveries have saved many lives and his contributions to science‚ technology‚ and medicine are nearly without precedent. This paper will focus on one of the aspect of his work that relates mostly to chemistry: the alcoholic fermentation. Louis Pasteur:

Careers PCT 1 October 14‚ 2012 Clostridium Difficile Clostridium difficile is a gram positive‚ spore forming anaerobic bacillus‚ which may or may not carry the genes for toxin A-B production. These two types of protein exotoxins produced by the Clostridium difficile bacillus‚ toxin A and toxin B‚ can have an infectious form and a non-active‚ non-infectious form. The disease spreads throughThe spores can survive for a longer period of time in the environment and are not infectious

plant will gain drought tolerance as well. Not only can genes be transferred from one plant to another‚ but genes from non-plant organisms also can be used. The best known example of this is the use of B.t. genes in corn and other crops. B.t.‚ or Bacillus thuringiensis‚ is a naturally occurring bacterium that produces crystal proteins that are lethal to insect larvae. B.t. crystal protein genes have been transferred into corn‚ enabling the corn to produce its own pesticides against insects such as

Advancements in Medicine in 19th Century England A robot saved my life! While this may not necessarily be true‚ the revolutionary technological aspects of medical advancements in the 1800s were just as crazy to people who lived there and saved their lives. While the common cold is a prevalent illness among us now and has treatment‚ in the 1800s common illnesses like this caused death. During this time there were many medical advancements that took place. From advancements in the knowledge of diseases
