    Antimicrobial Effects of Cilantro

    Herbs and spices have been used for many years for their health benefits and antimicrobial properties (Lai & Roy, 2004). Cilantro, an herb found in many ethnic food dishes, has been shown to have an antibacterial effect on Salmonella choleraesuis due to the compound dodecanal found in the leaves. Dodecanal was found to be twice as potent as the antibiotic gentamicin that is commonly prescribed for Salmonella infections (Kubo, Fujita, Kubo, Nihei, & Ogura, 2004). The antimicrobial properties of cilantro have also been demonstrated against the bacteria’s Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli (Marsh & Arriola, 2009). We decided to conduct our own…

    Salmonella (Food Borne Illness Paper

    Salmonella is one of the most commonly reported types of food-borne illness. Salmonella is caused by a variety of different bacteria. The ensuing illness is treatable, but in some cases, fatal. Most of the time people aren’t even aware they have salmonella, they think something they ate didn’t agree with them and the symptoms are mild and disappear quickly. I believe no one really takes any action of going to a hospital or to their doctor until the symptoms worsen and become unbearable or scary for them that’s at least what I do, which I shouldn’t because instead of me finding out what problem was solving it quickly, I go through the pain and agony until I can’t take t\it anymore. Quite often, the mishandling of food products causes salmonella. In many cases, the bacterium is spread by animal feces coming into contact with fresh foods in the case of eggs, the bacteria come from within the chicken and are already in the egg before it is laid. Eggs are the most common source of salmonella. Infections can also come from contaminated dairy products, meats, and various shellfish. Undercooked meats and poultry may contain the bacteria and on rare occasion fresh fruits and vegetables can also be contaminated. Clinical symptoms are diarrhea, fever, chills, cramping in the stomach and intestine, fatigue and in some cases, headache symptoms can appear as soon as eight hours after ingestion contaminated food products. In some cases, it takes a few days for the symptoms to appear. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days, most people recover without treatment. The way you treat salmonella also known as (food poising) is by managing any complications until it passes. Dehydration is most common because of diarrhea so drinking a cup of water or a rehydration drink for each large, loose stool you have. Do not drink fruit juices or soda due to the fact they have too much sugar and they are not good for dehydration. Ways to prevent salmonella are: do not eat row or uncooked eggs, avoid…

    The number one way to make sure the virus salmonella is not contracted is to cook food properly. Do not eat raw meat or raw eggs.

    Gram Negative Bacteria

    Bacteria are microbial organisms which are present in various environments. Many bacteria are good and help humans synthesize materials and assist in biological processes, such as digestion. However, some bacteria can cause harmful diseases. When harmful bacteria infects the body, people take antibiotics in order to suppress bacteria. Different antibiotics have different ways they suppress bacteria, and the efficacy of antibiotics depends on the structure of the bacteria which they are targeting. The specific bacteria being studies in this experiment is E Coli and Enterococcus. E Coli is a bacteria which may cause diarrheal disease (CDC.gov), and Enterococcus may cause urinary tract infection (Kau).…

    Antimicrobial Activity of Banana (Musa sapientum Linn.) Inflorescence Ethanolic Extract against E. coli and S. aureus

    The experience of human misery in the form of disease is perhaps as old as the inception of man on the earth. The history of medicine beyond record of human civilization is shrouded in the misery of obscurity; it almost touches the boundaries of mythology, both East and West alike. Several pharmacological industries have evaluated new era for the search of effective antibiotics throughout the world but on the other hand resistance to these an antibiotic by microorganisms has increased. The increasing failure of chemotherapeutics and antibiotic resistance exhibited by pathogenic microbial infectious agents has led to the screening of several medicinal plants for potential antimicrobial activity. They have a long evolution of resistance against microbial agents which has lead to alternative directions in drug development.…
