Community Acquired Pneumonia Dora E. Wiskirchen‚ PharmD‚ BCPS PHCY 836 – Day 5 PM Learning Objectives Identify risk factors for the development of pneumonia. Explain the pathophysiology‚ signs and symptoms‚ most common bacterial etiologies and associated resistance patterns‚ severity of illness scoring systems‚ and diagnostic techniques for pneumonia. Define atypical pneumonia and characterize patients who may be at risk for developing this type of pneumonia. Evaluate pharmacologic

The procedures performed consisted of sterile technique in addition to being followed as stated in the referenced course laboratory manual by Matar (1) ‚ unless otherwise noted. Not all of the tests were performed on every culture. However‚ there are as some of the tests were used only for gram (+) others were even more specific and used only for cocci bacteria .The first procedure have

Following inoculation of red soils isolated from geographically separate areas of Jordan‚ Micrococcus luteus and Staphylococcus aureus were rapidly killed. Over the 3-week incubation period‚ the number of specific types of antibiotic-producing bacteria increased‚ and high antimicrobial activity (MIC‚ ∼10 μg/ml) was observed in methanol extracts of the inoculated red soils

Most commonly found organisms include Pseudomonas aeruginosa‚ Staphylococcus spp‚ Acanthamoeba spp and Fusarium species from CL cases. But still there are variations in isolated organisms from contact lens storage case in different studies. Studies also have documented the most commonly recovered micro-organisms

BIOSENSORS ADVANCED BIOREPORTER TECHNOLOGIES FOR TARGETED SENSING OF CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL AGENTS Steven Ripp and Gary S. Sayler Introduction Bioreporters refer to intact‚ living microbial cells that have been genetically engineered to produce a measurable signal in response to a specific chemical or physical agent in their environment (Figure 1). Bioreporters contain two essential genetic elements‚ a promoter gene and a reporter gene. The promoter gene is turned on (transcribed) when the
