Livja Koka Anaerobic Bacteria In this experiment the purpose is to seek understanding between an organism and its use of oxygen. Oxygen is a very important part of the organisms’ survival. Oxygen has a tendency to form very reactive by-products inside a cell. These by-products create havoc by reacting with protein and DNA‚ thus inactivating them. Cells that are able to live in the presence of oxygen have evolved enzymes to cope with H2O2 and O2- and thus are not inhibited by O2. Also many anaerobes

The nursing diagnosis analyzed in this paper is fluid volume deficit related to diarrhea secondary to clostridium difficile. Behaviors for fluid volume deficit are as follows: skin turgor more than 3 seconds‚ dry mucus membranes‚ longitudinal furrows on the tongue‚ slow capillary refill‚ confusion‚ lethargic‚ low urine output as defined as less than 30 millimeters

Bacterial contamination is more dangerous because very often the food does not look bad: even though severely infected‚ it may appear quite normal. The presence of highly dangerous toxins and bacterial spores is often not detected until after an outbreak of food poisoning‚ when laboratory examination and experiments uncover the infecting agent.
