Antibiotics are used for treating human infections that are caused by specific bacteria‚ fungi‚ protozoans‚ and other large viruses. They are generally grouped with the class of microorganisms that they inhibit. Antibiotics are used to fight off infections within the human body system by inhibiting the growth of its infectious microbes. Antibiotics have been considered one of the greatest newest innovations in medicine but there is still yet to be a perfect ideal antibiotic. In this experiment six

Introduction This lab is purposed to familiarize basic equipment and techniques used in the study of microorganisms. In addition‚ learn some basic techniques used in identifying prokaryotes and make and view microscope slides of some common prokaryotes. In this lab ‚ I worked two experiments ‚ the first one is cultivation bacteria "colony "‚ and When microorganisms are cultivated in the laboratory‚ a growth environment called a medium is used ‚ this medium should be sterile

Photo by: Dmitry Pichugin "Thermophiles" are microorganisms with optimal growth temperatures between 60 and 108 degrees Celsius‚ isolated from a number of marine and terrestrial geothermally-heated habitats including shallow terrestrial hot springs‚ hydrothermal vent systems‚ sediment from volcanic islands

At the beginning of the semester‚ samples of bacteria were obtained from various sources. Two bacterial colonies were isolated from plates that were incubated in the lab and these bacteria became the basis for this project. The bacterial cultures were maintained and used for various physiological‚ cultural‚ and biochemical tests and observations over several weeks. The purpose of culturing bacteria over half the course of the semester was to learn various techniques used in microbiology labs and

many other areas from better crop production through microbial pesticides to biological warfare. Their uses are endless as are their abilities to evolve and adapt to changing environments. That is why it is so important to be able to identify microorganisms. This study was conducted using techniques and experiments learned in microbiology lab that were used to classify the two unknown bacteria. The two unknown bacteria were presented in a broth culture labeled unknown #15 by Connie and Desiree

Identification and Diagnosis of Unknown Enteric Bacteria in an Infected Patient Using an Enteropluritube Brooke Addario 2/16/2015 BIO 488C - Section J TA – Jacob Karsten Introduction: Enteric bacteria are members of the Enterobacteriaceae family of microorganisms. These gram negative‚ rod shaped‚ facultative anaerobes are found in the intestinal tracts of humans and animals. Enteric bacteria can be pathogenic; however‚ they are also a normal part of human bacterial flora and are therefore found in both

Common Causes of Infection Transmission What is Infection? Microbes can lead to an infection only if they have capacity to multiple. Our bodies get infections from pathogenic microorganisms that cannot observe by naked eye such as • Bacteria. These one-cell organisms are accountable for diseases‚ such as urinary tract infections. • Viruses. Is an acellular agent smaller than bacteria consisting mainly of genetic material‚ that can be active in a close environments ranging from the common cold

helps to save the environment when we use biological organisms instead of pesticides. We can also use genetically modified strains and foods to get much good quality foods. Using biotechnology in processing like checking for the safety of food and to detect the presence of microorganisms is strongly recommended. Biotechnology can be used to increase the self-life of food materials and decrease the rate of spoilage. Using biotechnology for the packaging is also an important use. Using biotechnology for distribution or transportation is the best use we can do to food

According to the World Health Organization (WHO)‚ “HCAI results in prolonged hospital stays‚ long-term disability‚ increased resistance of microorganisms to antimicrobials‚ massive additional costs for health systems‚ high costs for patients and their family‚ and unnecessary deaths” (13). Multiple studies have been done outlining the legitimacy of the HCAI problem. An article published by the New
