multi-billion dollar industry. Different antibiotics and synthetic drugs all have different modes of actions and can have several different possibilities of side effects. Antibiotics work by finding something in the pathogen that is different in the host cell and attacks it to stop the pathogen from reproducing and causing more harm. The side effects can range from loss of hearing all the way to discoloration of the teeth. Some may take these drugs and have no side effects at all except to obtain better

Anatomy and Physiology I 1 INTRODUCTION The ability to ward off the pathogens that produce disease is called resistance – Lack of resistance is called susceptibility Resistance to disease can be grouped into two broad areas – Nonspecific resistance: general defensive mechanisms effective on a wide range of pathogens – Immunity: activation of specific lymphocytes that combat a particular pathogen or other foreign substance • cell-mediated immunity • antibody-mediated immunity

SCOPE OF MICROBIOLOGY: What is Microbiology? | � Microbiology is the study of microorganisms� Microorganisms‚ roughly‚ are living things that are too small to be seen with the naked eye� Microorganisms cannot be distinguished phylogenetically from �macroorganisms� (see variety of microorganisms‚ below)� Microbiology is more a collection of techniques: aseptic technique‚ pure culture technique‚ microscopic observation of whole organisms‚ etc.� Microbiologists

implant loss can occur. Peri-implantitis is a bone destructive process affecting the tissues surrounding dental implants(Mombelli 2002). Pathogens found in peri-implantits around affected implant were similar to pathogen found in periodontal disease.(Cortes et al. 2012) Many factors can affect the success of dental implants. systemic health‚ oral hygiene ‚ remained pathogens and habits can all play a crucial role in the success of dental implants as a restorative to the missed tooth.

Dangerous Trash Landfills in today’s society are our cheapest solution to ridding the land of everyday waste. Although‚ this is a convenient alternative to waste solution‚ it does provide substantial dangers to our environment and health. One of the greatest dangers we face today is the groundwater pollution from lacheates. While they are supposed to protect humans from harmful toxins‚ but these protective barriers only delay the inevitable due to natural deterioration. The problem with landfills

The District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority receives and treats wastewater collected from the District of Columbia sewer system and from the Maryland and Virginia suburbs. The treatment has two phases‚ in the first phase begins as debris and grit which is removed and trucked to a landfill where the sewage then flows

Chertoff‚ “By fusing the clinical data‚ the regular intelligence information‚ and ultimately the BioWatch data‚ including next generation sensors‚ we can ensure that decision makers have an early‚ immediate‚ and comprehensive picture of the kind of pathogens that are out there so they can characterize them (Chertoff‚ M.‚ 2008)”. Awareness through good intelligence and planning will enable our country to keep up with biological attacks with a higher degree of prevention. Part of this awareness and prevention
