The following show expected colony appearances and morphologies (shapes) of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Note characteristics such as edges‚ color‚ and whether the colonies are rough or smooth in texture. For colony appearances of E. coli and S. aureus‚ scientists often describe what they look like on agar. This is not the microscopic view (for example‚ as with a slide) but a “naked eye” view of how the bacterial colonies look while growing on a medium. (This is one type of culture

cause perforations in the infected cells. When both of these mechanisms are through they will help destroy pathogens in the infected body. This diagram will help with the visualization of these mechanism and their processes. Killer T-cells combine with antigens on the surface of any invading cell and release a powerful group of chemicals called lymphokines. Some lymphokines kill the pathogens directly‚ others stimulate lymphocytes to become active and help increase the inflammation so that there are

Tabbaa Department of Public Health‚ Faculty of veterinary medicine‚ Al Baath University‚ Hama‚ Syria Abstract Humanity faces many challenges that require global solutions.

identifying and killing pathogens and tumor cells. It detects a wide variety of agents‚ from viruses to parisitic worms‚ and needs to distinguish them from the organism ’s own healthy cells and tissues‚ in order to function properly. Detection is complicated as pathogens can evolve rapidly‚ producing adaptations that avoid the immune system and allow the pathogens to successfully infect the body. To survive this challenge‚ multiple mechanisms evolve that recognize and neutralize pathogens. Even simple

The immune system protects the body from disease by having a complex system of organs and cells to keep the body safe. The first barrier of the immune system and of the body is the skin which keeps out pathogens from entering the body‚ but if there is a cut in the body‚ the skin can no longer defend against the pathogen‚ so next comes inflammation which helps to limit the spread of the
