However‚ in cases in which the persons with immunodeficiency‚ or a immune deficiency‚ an “effective cell-mediated immune response” may fail to occur and thus allow the disease to further progress and possibly spread from the lungs (“Tuberculosis”). A tuberculosis infection outside of the lungs is called extrapulmonary tuberculosis. In these instances‚ the kidney and bones are more commonly prone to infection. In the kidney‚ tuberculosis proposes little to no symptoms‚ but may destroy part of

Genetically Modified Foods: Harmful or Helpful? (Released April 2000) by Deborah B. Whitman Genetically-modified foods (GM foods) have made a big splash in the news lately. European environmental organizations and public interest groups have been actively protesting against GM foods for months‚ and recent controversial studies about the effects of genetically-modified corn pollen on monarch butterfly caterpillars1‚ 2 have brought the issue of genetic engineering to the forefront of the public

Overall‚ one-third of the world’s population is currently infected with the TB bacillus. How TB Spreads: TB is a contagious disease. Like the common cold‚ it spreads through the air. A person acquires a tuberculosis infection by inhaling tiny droplets of moisture contaminated with the Mycobacterium Tuberculosis bacteria. The source

Microbiology Lab Quiz #2 Study Guide Exercise 9 -- The Gram Stain Compare and contrast simple and differential staining techniques. Simple Staining Simple staining is useful in determining the basic morphology of an organism. Simple staining involves only one reagent i.e. crystal violet‚ basic fuchsin‚ or methylene blue. Simple dyes used to stain bacteria have a positive charge cationic (+)‚ therefore‚ they are attracted to the bacteria that are usually negatively charged anionic (-) Depends

The plague could spread rapidly and hugely due to the trading route across the large‚ treeless steppe as Mongol Empire spanned almost the entire Eurasian continent. The "steppe ecosystem was susceptible to the plague bacillus (Marks‚ 37)" as Mongol riders heading west spread the plague to the rodents on the steppe‚ resulting transmitting it across the whole Eurasia at the end.

It is characterized by the formation of granulomas in tissues and organs‚ more significantly in the lungs‚ lymph nodes‚ intestines‚ liver and kidneys (Shitaye et al.‚ 2007). Bovine TB is caused by a slowly growing bacillus which is a member of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. Bovine TB is a great threat to both animal and human health in many countries and human tuberculosis of animal origin particularly that caused by Mycobacterium bovis‚ is becoming increasingly

Clostridium Perfringens Clostridium perfringens (formerly known as C. welchii‚ or Bacillus welchii) is a Gram-positive‚ rod- shaped‚ anaerobic‚ spore-forming bacterium of the genus Clostridium. C. perfringens is ever present in nature and can be found as a normal component of decaying vegetation‚ marine sediment‚ the intestinal tract of humans and other vertebrates‚ insects‚ and soil. Infections due to C. perfringens show evidence of tissue necrosis‚ bacteremia‚ emphysematous cholecystitis
