Abstract: Urinary tract infections are a serious health problem affecting millions of people each year. Infections of the urinary tract are the second most common type of infection in the body. Women are especially prone to UTIs for reasons that are not yet well understood. One woman in five develops a UTI during her lifetime. UTIs in men are not as common as in women but can be very serious when they do occur. This research project shows that we can produce a herbal medicine

if‚ in fact‚ that cell size had anything to do with the initiation of DNA replication in bacteria. The objectives and hypothesis was clearly stated in the paper. In order to find the answer to their question‚ the researchers used Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) in their experiment. Both E. coli and B. subtilis are common and well known bacteria that are used in research. They took the E. coli and B. subtilis and placed them in specific media for each step the in

Pneumonia is a common disease‚ which occurs in all age groups. However‚ pneumonia is the leading cause of death in elderly‚ people who are chronically and terminally ill‚ and children under five years old worldwide. It can result from a variety of causes‚ including infection with bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi‚ or parasites‚ and chemical or physical injury to the lungs. Pneumonia is an irregular inflammatory condition of the lung. It is often described as inflammation and abnormal fluid filling of the

however; they found that consumers would not eat the food as it was a health hazard. Also it had harmed the environment as the pesticide would poison the water supply. By having genetically modifying crops food can be protected from insects and pests. Bacillus thuringiensis(BT) Corn is an example of a genetically modified crop‚ which contains delta endotoxins and when insects are exposed to this the toxins will paralyse the insect’s digestive system and kill it. Hence GM foods can be very beneficial as

to determine the effects that temperature has on three different organisms. Temperature is one of the most important environmental factors affecting growth and survival of microorganisms². The three organisms used where Escherichia coli‚ Pseudomonas fluorescens‚ and Bacillus stearothermophilis. Most bacteria grow within a particular temperature range. The minimum growth temperature is the lowest temperature at which a bacterium can still grow‚ while the maximum growth temperature is the highest
