    Today we will be taking a journey through the human body. We will be injected into the femoral vein of a healthy, 28 year old female named Corrin. We have received previous alert that there is a bacterium invading Corrin’s lower lobe of her left lung. As we go on this special voyage, we will get to document this invasion in regards to how infections attack the human body. To accomplish all of this, we must first miniaturize ourselves, along with the sub that we will be taking this journey on, down to just eight microns long! At the end of this voyage, we will exit out of the nose. Get ready for an interesting ride!…

    An organism is a living thing that can produce all basic life processes. In the human body there are five levels of organization in which each one will perform a specific operation. In order to understand how these processes work, observation of the structural organization of each level is necessary. Each level is organized from the smallest form to the largest. For instance, the chemical level is the smallest there for it is the first level followed by the cellular, tissue, organ, and system level.…

    P. aeruginosa is an opportunistic bacterium that causes different conditions such as septicemia, pneumonia, urinary tract infection (UTI), endocarditis, and skin-eye-ear infections [1]. This bacterium is one of the major causes of hospitalized infections and the main cause of death in patients with cystic fibrosis, severe burns, and AIDS [2]. P. aeruginosa is one global threat of hospitalized infections in the entire world [3]. It is described that about 63,000 people in the U.S. and 25,000 in the E.U. die each year because of the infectious diseases caused by multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria [4]. MBLs are the genes causing resistance in P. aeruginosa. The MBL-encoding genes, blaIMP and blaVIM, which are often located on integrons, can easily…

    Safety in a microbiology laboratory is important in the prevention of infection that might be caused by the microorganisms being studied. This laboratory does not require the use of virulent human pathogens. However, many types of microorganisms are potentially pathogenic. This means that, although they would not cause disease in a normal healthy host, they might possibly do so if a large enough quantity of the microbes came into contact with a compromised host, such as by wounds and cuts.…
