Clostridium Difficile (C.diff) Clostridium Difficile (C.Diff) Clostridium Difficle is a nosocomial infection acquired mostly in hospitals. In 2005 it was consider the most precarious infection to bombard North American in a decade. Armed with knowledge about the infection‚ transmission‚ environmental factors‚ alternative treatments‚ prevention and ways to control C.diff healthcare workers can better be prepared to help fight the spread of this deadly infection. A C.Diff‚ its transmission

National parks are a celebration of life and‚ growing up‚ my family joined this celebration at many different locations. Our road trips took us to Glacier National Park‚ Joshua Tree‚ Yosemite‚ Yellowstone‚ and new locations continued to appear as red dots on the map as the years went on. Every national park proclaims its history on placards distributed throughout their territory‚ and the history of the animals that have barely survived mankind has always fascinated me the most. As I have grown older

“LOCKJAW” | | Cong Le | 12/3/2012 | Abstract: Tetanus is a severe infection causes by Clostridium tetani‚ a spore-forming anaerobic bacterium. This disease affects many people in the developing-countries where the immunization is not really available. On the other hand‚ tetanus is very rare condition in developed countries like America. Clostridium tetani has all the characteristics of the Clostridium genus. After entering the human wounds‚ this organism secreted two kinds of potent biological

Cured meats like serrano ham and pepperoni are just continuations of the age-old human tradition of salting meat to preserve it and make it safe for eating. Curing helps to prevent foodborne illness caused by bacteria like Clostridium botulinum. It is also important to recognize that the curing salts used to cure meat can be deadly if they are not handled carefully. Cure meats safely by following these steps: Decide which meat you want to cure. Ham is the most popular choice‚ but you can cure

Lockjaw is caused a Clostridium tetani bacterium which produces a highly dangerous toxin that affects the brain and the nervous system. Tetanus was well known to ancient people who also recognized the relationship between wounds and fatal muscle spasms. In 1897 Edmond Nocard proved that tetanus antitoxin gave passive immunity in humans and could be used for treatment. In 1924 P.Descombey developed the vaccine which was used to prevent tetanus induced by battle wounds. Clostridium tetani spores can
