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

Griffith’s experiment Griffith’s experiment discovering the "transforming principle" in pneumococcus bacteria. Griffith’s experiment‚ reported in 1928 by Frederick Griffith‚[1] was one of the first experiments suggesting that bacteria are capable of transferring genetic information through a process known as transformation.[2][3] Griffith used two strains of pneumococcus (Streptococcus pneumoniae) bacteria which infect mice – a type III-S (smooth) and type II-R (rough) strain. The III-S strain covers

I will test tetracycline‚ chloramphenicol‚ ampicillin‚ sulphatriad‚ penicillin G and Streptomycin. I would also like to see if Bacillus subtillis shows resistance to Antibiotics or to Tea Tree oil. The use of penicillin is being reduced because of the resistance many types of bacteria are developing against it. Hypothesis: My hypothesis is

MLT1: ANTIBIOTIC SENSITIVE LAB Western Governor’s University When antimicrobials are used to treat an infection‚ the antimicrobial used is based on selective toxicity. Selective toxicity is when the agent selected kills or inhibits the bacteria without causing serious harm to the host. The agent must interact with a function or structure of the microbe that is not present or is very different from the host. There are two different types of antimicrobial agents: antibiotics and antimicrobial

differences between a virus and a bacterium are thus: * Bacteria are unicellular‚ Viruses have no cells. * Bacteria have DNA and RNA floating in cytoplasm‚ and a cell wall and membrane. Viruses have DNA or RNA enclosed in a protein coat. * Bacteria have Ribosomes‚ whereas viruses do not. * Bacterial infections are localised‚ yet viruses are systemic. As you can see‚ there are a load of differences between viruses and bacteria‚ however there are some similarities. For instance they

These bacteria included streptococcus‚ meningococcal‚ and diphtheria bacillus.

Obtaining such genetically identical organisms (or pure strains) can be useful in many cases; this is done by spreading bacteria on a culture plate and starting a new stock of bacteria from a single colony.
