Although the anthrax issue was unknown to many before 2001‚ the bioterrorism opened everyone’s eyes about how deadly anthrax can be. Bacillus anthracis is the bacterium that causes anthrax and bacillus anthracis is also the scientific name used by scientists. Bacillus anthracis is the aerobic (needs air)‚ spore forming bacteria that grows well in the body‚ especially

in Egypt. A German physician and bacteriologist‚ Robert Koch traveled with a group of German colleagues from Berlin to Alexandria‚ Egypt in August‚ 1883. Following necropsies‚ they found a bacillus in the intestinal mucosa in persons who died of cholera‚ but not of other diseases. He reasoned that the bacillus was related to the cholera process‚ but was not sure if it was causal or consequential. He stipulated that the time sequence could only be resolved by isolating the organism‚ growing it in

humans through bites (Forsyth). As people migrated it reached Haiti and then spread to America (Clark p. 65). The bubonic plague‚ too‚ was a spontaneous epidemic. The Black Death occurred because a bacillus was carried by fleas that fed off the blood of humans and transmitted the deadly bacillus in the process (Packer). It began in China and spread by migration throughout all of Europe and even America (Forsyth). Efforts to contain both diseases were entirely unsuccessful. AIDS is now an international

FIRST FEW VACCINES Vaccination is a simple‚ safe and effective way of protecting babies and children against diseases. The risks from having these diseases are far greater than the risk of any minor side effects from vaccination. When your child is given a vaccine‚ their body responds by making antibodies‚ the same as if they had caught the disease but without getting sick. Then their body produces antibodies to destroy the vaccine and these stay in your child’s body and protect them against the

Unknown #1 Vomit Serratia marcescens & Bacillus cereus Biol 251 Microbiology 5/14/2009 Introduction The purpose of this study is to differentiate and identify two unknown organisms provided by the instructor in a nutrient broth. It is only known that the two organisms are from vomit; one is gram-positive and the other is gram-negative. It is necessary to first separate the two organisms by inoculating a nutrient agar plate using the streak-plate method. The

Biology101 McDowall 10/29/2012 Escherichia Coli “The Bacterial Beast” E.coli or binomial name Escherichia coli was discovered by a German pediatrician named Theodore Escherich in 1885. Dr. Escherich originally named the bacteria‚ bacillus communis coli. After the demise of Dr. Escherich the intestinal bacteria was then named Escherichia coli after the late doctor in 1919. The bacteria Escherichia coli are classified as follows. Domain- Bacteria Kingdom- Eubacteria Phylum- Proteobacteria

Our hypothesis are that we will discover an bacillus‚ coccus‚ or a spiral shaped bacteria. Paramecium caudatum/ Bacteria Species of Paramecium can be distinguished from other ciliates by their cigar or slipper shape and the undulating membrane within the peristome - a furrow that leads to the
