to not only ensure the fairness of all black and brown people‚ but people who are not the majority of the population. Today we live in a world where movements are created by a simple hashtag‚ with little to no meaning behind them. With peaceful resistance to the government‚ I feel as though it should be no need for them (the government to mistreat the people) If violence is not happening‚ why should the government feel the need to extinguish a movement by sending in the police department‚ when nothing

2010 Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus’s Affects On Pittsburgh’s Communities The topic of this paper is Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus‚ better known as MRSA. This is a new disease that has a high resistance to antibiotics. Because of the resistance to most antibiotics‚ Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus is considered to be a very serious disease. How long has Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus been a problem? According to the University of Pittsburgh

the reality of antibiotic resistant bacteria evolving to the point of human extinction. Antibiotic resistance is a natural process‚ stronger bacteria survive and multiply. Even though antibiotic resistance is a natural process‚ it happens faster when antibiotics are used irresponsibly. Through use of media‚ personal responsibility and research‚ our species could help deter further antibiotic resistance by being educated. I will summarize the findings I have encountered researching the fascinating‚

Conjugation can also occur when small plasmids that do not have the ability to direct their own transfer ride on the backs of larger plasmids in order to enter a new bacterium. Another form of a

Lab Report: Antibiotic Evaluation by the Kirby-Bauer Method Introduction Chemical antimicrobial agents are chemical compounds capable of either inhibiting the growth of microorganisms or killing them outright. Those which are taken internally to alleviate the symptoms of or promote healing from disease are called chemotherapeutic drugs‚ and among these is a class of compounds called antibiotics. In order for a chemotherapeutic drug to be classed as an antibiotic‚ it must be produced by

that the potential differences and currents had with both types of circuits. In short‚ we were to test out Kirchhoff’s laws. Before starting the lab‚ we had to pick three different resistors and we were to calculate the values for the total resistances‚ potential differences‚ and currents for both circuits. Then‚ we were to take out the needed materials and parts of the circuits to start the lab. We then build a series circuit‚ with three resistors‚ a switch‚ a power source‚ and a few spacers

The Effect of Acetyltransferases on 2 different strains of E. coli Introduction Scientists have recently discovered that resistance to antibiotics may not be such a new thing. Evidence of bacteria samples in Canadian permafrost proposes that these resistances have been around for at least 30‚000 years (Luiggi 2011). In our required pre-lab reading‚ we learned tuberculosis is becoming increasingly drug-resistant‚ giving proof that bacteria can adapt to necessary changes in order to survive (Barry

high levels of antibiotic resistance found in E. faecalis contribute to its pathogenicity. E. faecalis can cause endocarditis and bacteremia‚ urinary tract infections (UTI)‚ meningitis‚ and other infections in humans. Several virulence factors are thought to contribute to E. faecalis infections. A plasmid-encoded hemolysin‚ called the cytolysin‚ is important for pathogenesis in animal models of infection‚ and the cytolysin in combination with high-level gentamicin resistance is associated with a five-fold

Penicillin V is a first-generation penicillin used to treat infections generally caused by gram-positive bacteria. Penicillin V consists of 16 carbons‚ 18 hydrogens‚ two nitrogen‚ five oxygens and a sulfur atom. The beta-lactam group is the ring composed of two nitrogen‚ a sulfur atom‚ and an oxygen double-bound to a carbon. Penicillin works by bursting a bacteria’s cell wall; this is done by inhibiting the proteins that link peptidoglycans together in the cell wall‚ which prevents the bacteria from

more certainty than resorting to violent revolt on terror" ( Ackerman and Duvall 8). According to the author "strategic nonviolent action rather than violence was the decisive mode of engagement" (Ackerman and Duvall 8). The choice for nonviolent resistance is not made for moral reason; instead the action is an effective strategic choice. This book is crucial to read because it shows how people can achieve freedom and justice without using violence . Although violence can instill fear for a time
