What is it?Lactobacillus is a type of bacteria. There are lots of different species of lactobacillus. These are "friendly" bacteria that normally live in our digestive‚ urinary‚ and genital systems without causing disease. Lactobacillus is also in some fermented foods like yogurt and in dietary supplements.Lactobacillus is used for treating and preventing diarrhea‚ including infectious types such as rotaviral diarrhea in children and traveler’s diarrhea. It is also used to prevent and treat diarrhea

Bureau of Plant Industry. It was tested against the bacteria E. coli and S. aureus. The resulting Numerical value was 2.5 for E. coli and 3.0 for S. aureus. The bureau used the standard parameter 1-2- slightly inhibited and 3-5 as partially inhibited. Thus‚ the inhibition of the mango leaves extract and coconut oil in E. coli was slight and it is partial in S. aureus. The researcher concluded that mango leaves extract with coconut oil can kill bacteria like E. coli and S. aureus. It can also be concluded

Bacteria become resistant with mutations and by swapping DNA with a bacteria that is already resistant. The resistance of bacteria to antibiotics is a textbook example of evolution. The mutant bacteria will survive due to natural selection and will continue to cause illness in the patient. One thing that can be done to stop this evolution of bacteria is to somehow replace the bacteria’s DNA/RNA polymerase with one that is much better and accurate. This might fool the bacteria/virus into

Quantification of Microbes in Milk and Water Naomi Hall 10/20/14 BSC 381L H003 Group: Megan Baker‚ Katie Coe and Meagan Williams Abstract Coliforms are gram negative bacteria commonly found in the intestines of birds and mammals and are the most widely utilized indicators of fecal contamination. The purpose of this experiment was to test various water and milk samples for the presence of coliforms‚ specifically fecal coliforms. It was expected that fecal coliforms would be found in all

Probiotics Probiotics are living microscopic organisms‚ or microorganisms‚ that scientific research has shown to benefit the health. Most often they are bacteria‚ but they may also be other organisms such as yeasts. In some cases they are similar‚ or the same‚ as the “good” bacteria already in the body‚ particularly those in the gut. These good bacteria are part of the trillions of microorganisms that inhabit the bodies. This community of microorganisms is called the microbiota. Some microbiota organisms

tripartite symbiosis‚ by Jennifer Walker‚ Hannah Cohen‚ Logan Higgins and Peter Kennedy‚ the relationship between Alnus trees‚ ectomycorrhizal (ECM) Fungi and Frankia bacteria was looked at. Alnus are a group of trees‚ which have a symbiosis with ECM fungi and nitrogen fixing bacteria. The bacteria helps the fungi get nutrients and the bacteria/fungi symbiosis helps to get nutrients to the tree. In this article they were particularity looking to see if ECM fungi communities that were in relation to Alnus

grow on LB (Luria Broth) plates with ampicillin and determining if any genetic transformation has occurred. By combining +pGLO LB and ampicillin we should get an ampicillin resistant gene and by using –pGLO we should create a non-genetic resistant bacteria. The pGLO plasmid has the GFP (green fluorescent protein) gene and the gene that allows the plasmid to be resistant to the antibiotic ampicillin. The most important part of this experiment is the “heat shock treatment” because the E. coli membrane

Jordan. 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. Antibiotic-producing microorganisms whose numbers increased during incubation included actinomycetes‚ Lysobacter spp.‚ and Bacillus spp

KELLY STREET Unit 4222-265 Causes and Spread of Infection Outcome 1 1.1 Bacteria are single cell organisms that cause infections‚ there are both good bacteria for example which lives in the gut ‚ helping break down nutrients for the bodies needs as well as bad bacteria which can cause infections. They can produce toxins which are poisonous‚ and in optimum circumstances can multiply every 10-20 minutes via binary fission‚ so potentially millions can be produced within a short space of time if
