30 February 2014 Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria: What is it‚ how to prevent it and who it affects? In the United States alone‚ about 23‚000 people die from antibiotic resistant infections yearly. It is also one of the top 15 most dangerous illnesses in the country (United States House of Representatives). Antibiotic resistance is when bacteria develops a different response to an antibiotic that is its ancestor bacteria. Slight changes in bacteria enable the antibiotic to work and successfully

Anaerobic respiration in Bacteria Like humans and other animals‚ bacteria need to breathe. Anaerobic bacteria basically mean bacteria that respire anaerobically. All living cells need to respire in order to release energy for vital cell activities. Anaerobic respiration is respiration in the absence of oxygen‚ hence anaerobic bacteria does not breathe at all. The purpose of respiration is to provide the cell with the appropriate molecules for creating energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate

Abstract There have been studies on HIV/AIDS‚ but there is currently no cure for the virus/disease. There is a misconception that AIDS is transmitted‚ but what people don’t know is that the virus HIV is what is transmitted; leading to the disease AIDS. The risk factors‚ major health promoting behaviors and symptoms that can alleviate the hardships that come with the virus/disease‚ can cause stress‚ frustration and conflict managing the illness. The impact of the medical condition on the mental health

December 2012 Flesh Eating Bacteria Necrotizing Fasciitis is a rare bacterial disease that causes the rapid decay of the fascia. The human body is said to be compose of approximately a hundred trillion cells‚ connective tissue contributes to about forty five percent of the total cell weight. It was nicknamed the flesh eating bacteria because the victims injuries would have a rotting appearance. What are the pathogens that cause this disease? Necrotizing Fasciitis can be caused by a number of

Bacteria‚ such as Vibrio natriegens‚ are single cellular‚ microscopic microorganisms. Bacteria grow by cell division‚ mainly by a process called binary fission‚ where two cells arise from one single cell (Madigan et al.‚ 2015). In bacteria such as Vibrio natriegens‚ who are curved-rod shaped microorganisms‚ they elongate to almost twice their own size and form a dividing wall in which splits the single cell into two daughter cells (Madigan et al.‚ 2015). There are four phases to bacterial cell growth:

How does internet aid communication? With the rise of the Internet‚ mobile Internet and subsequently social media‚ communications and connectivity have been augmented. Relationships as a result are affected in ways. We used to communicate to people living close to us but now we have become engaged in both local and long-distance relationships and keep in touch regardless of location. Research has shown that online communication have not replaced more traditional offline forms such as face to face

Abstract Some bacteria are able to go through transformation making new combinations of genes. Transformation is a way of gene variability in bacteria. This experiment is based on the transformation mechanism of bacteria and gene regulation. The bacteria used for the experiment was Escherichia coli and the genes introduces for the transformation were: gfp and bla by a pGLO™ plasmid. After the insertion of the target genes and growing the bacteria on specialized LB media‚ it could be seen that the

Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria A better understanding of the use of antibiotics would help prevent 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
