This essay is to discuss the statement: ‘Infection prevention is every healthcare professional’s responsibility’. In order to identify the healthcare professional’s responsibility the author will be drawing from three different sources including documents from the Department of Health‚ the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s code of conduct and the Royal College of Nursing. After this‚ the essay will talk about two different practises that healthcare professionals can use to break the chain of infection

The following objectives focus your attention on the major concepts from the video and reading: List 7 major groups of organisms studied in microbiology. Identify the cell structure for each group (prokaryotic‚ eukaryotic‚ acellular). List the major characteristics that allow us to differentiate among these major groups. Compare the theories of spontaneous generation and biogenesis. Recognize

Science is an organized body of knowledge supported by observation and experimentation‚ derived from the natural phenomena of the entire material universe. Biology had flourished a great deal in ancient India. Various systems of classifying animals and plants were developed‚ for example Jeevaj (Viviparous) animals that give birth to young one‚ Andaj (Oviparous) animals that lay eggs‚ etc. Cultivation of rice was first introduced in India. It is estimated that more than 1000 varieties of rice had

Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to isolate two unknown bacteria and perform a series of selective and differential tests to correctly identify each. After the bacteria was isolated a series of differential and selective tests following the dichotomous key attached were used to identify each bacteria

mechanisms whose transition states are more thermodynamically stable than uncatalyzed reactions (Berg et al.‚ 2002; UBC Department of Microbiology and Immunology‚ 2006). Increased thermodynamic stability in these transition states reduces the energy of activation‚ the minimum amount of energy input a chemical system requires for a reaction to occur (UBC Department of Microbiology and Immunology‚ 2006). Thus‚ substrate is converted to product using less energy at amplified rates when enzymes are involved

include influenza C and the subtypes of influenza A known as H1N1‚ H1N2‚ H2N1‚ H3N1‚ H3N2‚ andH2N3. Swine influenza virus is common throughout pig populations worldwide. Transmission of the virus from pigs to humans is not common and does not always lead to human flu‚ often resulting only in the production of antibodies in the blood. If transmission does cause human flu‚ it is called zoonoticswine flu. People with regular exposure to pigs are at increased risk of
