and food-borne illness (such as shellfish) can also cause acute gastroenteritis. • Fifty to seventy percent of cases of gastroenteritis in adults are caused by the noroviruses while rotavirus is the leading cause of infection in children. Staphylococcus aureus can form a toxin that cause food poisoning while the resident Escherichia coli can also cause significant problems. • Many people who experience symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea‚ which develop from these types of infections or irritations

Early bleb related endophthalmitis is caused by Streptococcus epidermidis‚ Staphylococcus aureus‚ Propionibacterium acnes and other gram positive organisms. Late onset endophthalmitis is caused by Streptococcus‚ gram negative organisms such as Haemophilusinfluenzae‚ Moraxella‚ Pseudomonas and Serratia The treatment of bleb related

Some are used at wastewater treatment plants to help clean the water. Others are also used to make grapes into

accidentally by Sir Alexander Fleming in 1928 at St. Mary’s hospital in London when he forgot to clean a Petri dish before leaving on vacation. Fleming’s experimentation with the left-behind mold led him to discover its dissolving effects on the Staphylococcus aureus bacterium. Through further trials he discovered that a pure culture of the mold effectively killed the harmful bacteria. 3) The Human Genome Project The crusade to map all human genes began in 1990 and was completed in 2003.

most common cause is Staphylococcus aureus. Mastitis is usually followed by swelling and redness of the cow’s udder. Testing for this you would use a strip cup test to see if the bacterium is present. You then take the result for this and see how bad the bacterium is‚ so then you would be able to carry out more investigations and be able to find out control methods. These methods would be hygiene and regularly cleaning the milking machines. 2.0 Introduction Staphylococcus aureus is one of the
