Key words: Clostridium perfringens‚ diarrhea‚ dog‚ hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. Introduction Enteric clostridial infection in dogs are life-threatening condition usually caused by Clostridium perfringens and Clostridium difficile. The pathogenesis of enteric clostridial infection requires two factors; the presence of these microorganisms in the intestine and a change in the enteric microenvironment. C. perfringens is a Gram-positive‚ spore-forming‚ obligately anaerobic‚ non-motile bacillus and

Objective: The main objective for this lab was to use the Bradford and DC Protein Assay in order to determine our concentration of E. Coli BL21(DE3) lysate. Principle of Methods: To accomplish this objective‚ each pair of lab partners received an E. Coli lysate sample which we had to thaw by warming it with our hands and centrifuge it. We extracted a total of 12 samples with known concentrations of bovine serum albumin and 10 samples of different amounts of lysate put into them. Using the different

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION E. coli and S. aureus were tested to determine effectiveness of photodynamic inactivation with the use of methylene blue as photosensitizer and blue LED as alternative light source. Table 1 shows the resulting number of colonies for each replicate of every treatment per bacteria tested. Each of the treatments was averaged to get the mean number of colonies per treatment. All experimental setups were produced in quintuplicate‚ however only three of the five replicates were

2.4.3.1. Fusarium Spp. : - is one of the most important genera of plant pathogenic fungi‚ with a record of devastating infections in many kinds of economically important plants. The genus Fusarium belongs to the Ascomycota phylum‚ Ascomycetes class‚ Hypocreales order‚ while the teleomorphs of Fusarium species are mostly classified in the genus Gibberella‚ and for a smaller number of species‚ Hemanectria and Albonectria genera (Moretti‚ 2009). Unlike most Aspergillus spp. and Penicillium spp.‚ Fusarium

Salmonella is a bacillus bacteria from the Enterobacteriaceae family which can be devided into two species which is Salmonella bongori and Salmonella enterica‚ and another six subspecies can be divided from the species of Salmonella enterica‚ which are enterica‚ salamae‚ arizonae‚ diarizonae‚ houtenae and indica. Salmonellae are found globally in all types on animals‚ and also in the environment. From an article researched‚ proposed by C. Wray and A. Wray‚ it is stated that one of the main habitat

A bacterial virus‚ named WO‚ was discovered to contain spider-like DNA. WO is a bacteriophage (phage)‚ a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria. It’s usual target is a bacterial parasite named Wolbachia. Wolbachia is found in 40% of arthropods and has recently been used to fight the Zika-carrying mosquitoes. Now‚ scientists realize they can use the virus to insert whatever gene they wanted into Wolbachia and then that would modify the mosquito from within. Animal genes were also found

Scars form on the skin as part of the natural healing process of wounds in which the dermis is damaged. The dermis is the deeper layer of skin. When there are wounds on the surface layer or epidermis‚ scars usually do not form. There are two main types of scars‚ including hypertrophic or keloid scars that form because of an over production of collagen and atrophic scars that develop because of a loss of tissue. Acne scars are most often atrophic. When a pore in your skin becomes clogged with oil

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
