long period of time. Social contacts are also screened and treated if necessary. Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem in multiple drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) infections. Prevention relies on screening programs and vaccination with the bacillus Calmette–Guérin vaccine. One third of the world’s population is thought to have been infected with M. tuberculosis‚[3] with new infections occurring in about 1% of the population each year.[4] In 2007‚ there were an estimated 13.7 million chronic

1. What Are Bromeliads? Bromeliads are members of a plant family known as Bromeliaceae (bro-meh-lee-AH-say-eye). The family contains over 3000 described species in approximately 56 genera. The most well known bromeliad is the pineapple. The family contains a wide range of plants including some very un-pineapple like members such as Spanish Moss (which is neither Spanish nor a moss). Other members resemble aloes or yuccas while still others look like green‚ leafy grasses. In general they are inexpensive

Shigella Introduction: Shigella is a very infectious bacteria that causes Shigellosis. I. Morphology of Shigella • Gram-negative • Nonmotile bacillus II. 4 different species of Shigella • S. dysenteriae o Most severe type of shigellosis because it secretes Shiga Toxin Shiga toxin- stops protein synthesis in host’s cell. • S. flexneri o Is the predominate species in developing countries. • S. boydii • S. sonnei o Is the most common species isolated in industrialized nations.

However‚ they can also produce antibiotics. Beneficial bacteria can do various tasks from producing yogurt to decomposing dead organic matter. Most bacteria are one in three shapes. The first one is coccus which is spherical. The next one is bacillus which is rod shaped. The last and third on is spirillum which is spiral. There are many parts to a cell. The capsule‚ only found in specific bacteria‚ is the outermost protective coating. The cell wall gives the cell its shape. It is made out

Antibiotics are substances produced by microorganisms that kill or inhibit other microbes. They are used in the treatment of infectious disease. Antibiotics are produced in nature by molds such as Penicillium and bacteria such as Streptomyces and Bacillus. + Vaccines are substances derived from microorganisms and are used to immunize against disease. The microbes that are the cause of infectious disease are usually the ultimate source of vaccines. + Biotechnology Microbiology makes a significant
