Enterococci can survive very harsh environments including extreme alkaline pH 9.6 and salt concentrations (basic). Environment: They can found in the intestines of humans‚ particularly within the large bowel. They also are a natural part of the intestinal flora in most other mammals and birds. E. faecalis has also been frequently found in root canal-treated teeth. Pathogenicity: The organism is able to cause disease. E. faecalis can cause life-threatening infections in humans‚ especially in the

CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction “The hardest thing to see is what is in front of your eyes.” – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Plants are everywhere. They cover the face of the earth. They were just treated as a reliable food source in ancient times‚ but today‚ numerous benefits have been given by these wondrous creations. One of these plants is the Moringa Oleifera‚ commonly known as horseradish and locally known as malunggay. Moringa

Unit 20 – Causes and Spread of Infection 1.1 Identify the differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites. Bacteria are microbes with a single cell. There is no nucleus or membrane within bacteria‚ making its structure simpler than that of other organisms. Instead‚ the genetic information is contained in a single loop of DNA. Viruses are microscopic organisms consisting of genetic material surrounded by proteins‚ lipids‚ or glycoprotein coats. Fungi can be multicellular or single celled

called the Sarcodines and the Flagellates called the Mastigotes are sometimes linked into one group called the Sarcomastigotes because of similar features. The Ciliates are about as complicated as single cells can be. The Sporozoans tend to be tiny parasites‚ often living inside other cells‚ but are also pretty complicated.

I.DEFINITION/PREVALENCE Acute disease of the GI tract may be caused by the pathogen itself or by a bacterial or other toxin. Acute inflammatory disorders such as appendicitis and peritonitis result from contamination of damaged or normally sterile tissue by a client’s own endogenous or resident bacteria (Lemone and Burke‚ 2008‚ page 766). Appendicitis is the inflammation of the vermiform (wormlike) appendix; the appendix is a small fingerlike appendage about 10 cm (4 in) long‚ attached to the

The oxpecker gets food and the Zebra gets pest control. 3. Explain why most parasites do not kill their host. Why is it in their own best interest to keep their host alive? If a parasite kills its host the parasite will most likely die too Section 2 1. Define animal behavior. Animal behavior is how animals interact with each other and their

cause protozoan parasites which when passed on from human to human can generate the well known tropical disease known as malaria. The prophylaxis of malaria‚ a vector borne infectious disease‚ is vital as prevention for this disease is very necessary. Malaria can be infected in humans by four separate species of plasmodium parasites. These parasites are Plasmodium falciparum‚ Plasmodium vivax‚ Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium malariae. The major difference in these plasmodium parasites is that Plasmodium

erythrocytes are being destroyed by a parasite that infects them. What is the process of blood cell formation that replenishes lost cells? Erythropoesis is the process of blood cell formation. Case Story‚ Question 4 Why would Ed’s RBCs be a good host for a parasitic protozoan? RBC’s are a good host because they allow the protozoan to grow and multiply. When the RBC’s are unable to withhold all of the parasites‚ they lyse and explode‚ releasing the parasites and infecting more and more RBC’s..
