Staphylococcus Aureus Clinicals Lesson 1.1 Ms. Marino Chelsea Trussell October 8‚ 2013 Staphylococcus Aureus [staf-uh-luh-kok-uh-s]‚ commonly known as Staph is an infection that can damage the skin and tissue of the body by either an Abscess or Cellulitis. It is also known as the most important bacteria’s that cause disease in people. Staph was first found in the 1800’s in Aberdeen‚ United Kingdom‚ by the surgeon Sir Alexander Ogston. He found the bacteria in pus from a surgical Abscess

Specific organisms are identified as being of particular interest‚ especially those standard organisms that form part of the B.P. challenge test. These include Candida albicans‚ Pseudomonas aeruginosa‚ Escherichia coli‚ Aspergillus niger and Staphylococcus aureus. A cross-section of plants mentioned in the literature as being specifically targeted at these organisms are considered. The paper concludes with Appendices of plant materials that have mention in the literature according to specific definitions

For the purpose of this essay‚ I am going to explore a skin infection. I will do this by researching impetigo symptoms‚ causes‚ and treatments. Impetigo‚ also known as a school sore‚ is most common in children in elementary. Most people believe that impetigo should not be an infection for children to get. It is mostly contagious in elementary because impetigo is itchy so when children itch it‚ it spreads when they touch the playground or the table. Bullous impetigo is a type of impetigo that look

was tested against the bacteria E. coli and S. aureus. The resulting Numerical value was 2.5 for E. coli and 3.0 for S. aureus. The bureau used the standard parameter 1-2- slightly inhibited and 3-5 as partially inhibited. Thus‚ the inhibition of the mango leaves extract and coconut oil in E. coli was slight and it is partial in S. aureus. The researcher concluded that mango leaves extract with coconut oil can kill bacteria like E. coli and S. aureus. It can also be concluded that it can help wounds

Common nosocomial infections include; urinary tract infections (UTI)‚ surgical wound infections‚ as well as causative agents which are coagulase-negative meticillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)‚ Escherichia Coli (E-Coli)‚ Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBL’s)‚ Diarrhoea and vomiting (D&V) and Clostridium Difficile (C.Diff) to mention a few. I plan to explore this subject matter to inquire into and evaluate the evidence

Local Study “This research study aims to prevent diseases caused by Escherichia coli‚ Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella enteritidis. The study makes use of kamias (Averrhoa bilimbi) leaves and fruit extract as an antibacterial agent that is more or equally effective than the commercialized one and at the same time‚ available in our environment.

MRSA is the term is used to describe a number of strains of the bacteria‚ Staphylococcus aureus‚ that are resistant to a number of antibiotics‚ including methicillin‚ though you are probably still wondering what is Staphylococcus aureus? | Staphylococcus Aureus is a group of bacteria that live on the surface of people’s skin and inside the nose.

If the antibacterial protein is isolated and is proved non-cytotoxic to humans‚ then it can be researched and developed further as a drug for curing various diseases caused by Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus ailments in human beings and thus give an impetus to further research on being used as model organisms to be studied. 5.2 DEFINITION OF THE PROBLEM: Treating every bacterial-caused disease with
