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

to talk about today is botulism. Botulism neurotoxin is one of the most lethal substances known to man. Not many people are aware of what it is and its negative side-effects. What is Botulism? 3) Botulism is a neurotoxin produced by Clostridium botulism. Botulism causes extreme and sometimes fatal food poisoning. Botulism was first identified in Germany in 1735. A person had eaten a German sausage and got food poisoning. This is how botulism got its name because botulism is derived from

Clostridium Difficile‚ C. difficile or more commonly called C. diff. belongs to the “domain bacteria which makes it a prokaryotic‚ its Phylum is Firmicutes‚ its class is Clostridia‚ its order is clostridiales‚ its family is Peptostreptococcaceae” (Brymer). “Clostridium difficile is a spore-forming‚ Gram-positive anaerobic bacillus that produces two exotoxins: toxin A and toxin B. It is a common cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD). It accounts for 15-25% of all episodes of AAD.” [1] The

When we look at Vancomycin we know that the patient is taking this medicine for treatment for their clostridium difficile. With this drug there are many facts that the patient needs to know; such as being aware of dosing‚ associated risks like issues with hearing‚ and toxicity to the body.

Clostridium pefringens is a gram + rod and the bacteria they found in the patient was a gram + cocci which eliminates clostridium perfingens as a possibly even though some of the symptoms matched gangrene infections.

Botulism is a dangerous neuroparalytic illness caused by a botulinum toxin that is a product of the Clostridium botulinum bacteria. This toxin invades neuromuscular junctions by blocking the release of acetylcholine and results in lack of muscle contraction. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention‚ “There are three main kinds of botulism: foodborne botulism‚ infant botulism‚ and wound botulism. Foodborne botulism occurs when a person ingests the toxin within food that leads to illness
