impression that the litter level are the determinant of the cleanliness of the water. This study intends to examine: The bacteria population of samples obtained from several site across south east coast of England. Identify species of Gram Negative (-) & (+) of each sample. identify any faecal coliform bacteria which might suggest water contamination. These indicator organisms are used for indication of water contaminant by human and other warm-blooded animals (APHA 1992). Several

Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever Rickettsia rickettsia was named after the first person who discover Rocky Mountain Spotted fever‚ Howard Taylor Ricketts. The unicellular aerobic gram negative non-motile‚ non-spore forming‚ coccobacilli bacterium are 0.3-0.5 x 0.8-2.0 um. It is in the family Rickettsiaceae and order Rickettsiales of the α-Proteobacteria. It is a unicellular microorganism that lacks a distinct nucleus and membrane- bound organelles‚ while it is a three-layered cell wall and its outer

INTRODUCTION To begin the process of protein extraction and compare the results in a study‚ it is necessary to understand the importance of proteins‚ the process of extraction and how you are using the results to determine a rational conclusion. First understand proteins and the necessity of studying their impact. Proteins are essential molecules for biological functions and are the

Multiplication of contaminant bacteria in urine and interpretation of delayed culture. Abstract A prospective study of the bacterial populations of non-infected urine was mounted in an attempt to define the length of delay between voiding and analysis during which culture would not give false positive results due to the multiplication of contaminant bacteria present at the time of voiding. The findings suggest that culture of urine within four hours of voiding is likely to give a true indication

diff‚ is a spore-forming‚ gram-positive‚ anaerobic bacillus (The Mayo Clinic). Although the active bacteria are gram-positive‚ the spores are gram-negative (Horridge‚ et al). Culture of c-diff is performed at normal human body temp‚ on a blood agar (Nadan). After 48 hours of incubation‚ isolates resembling C. diff are anaerobically subcultured on a fastidious anaerobe agar. After the final culture‚ colonies are checked for florescence‚ and gram stained. Once gram-staining is complete‚ colonies are
