Lahela Correa 12/08/2009 Microbiology 140 Matthew Tuthill Unknown Lab Report Introduction There are many reasons for knowing the identity of microorganisms. The reasons range from knowing the causative agent of a disease in a patient‚ so as to know how it can be treated‚ to knowing the correct microorganism to be used for making certain foods or antibiotics. This study was done by applying all of the methods that I have been learned so far in the microbiology laboratory class for the identification

Anu G Agarwal65 (2003) A common bio-medical waste treatment facility (CBWTF) is a setup where Bio medical wastes which are generated by the Health care centres are imparted necessary treatment to reduce the risk which it possesses. The treated wastes are finally land filled in a restricted area. All the Health care units cannot have individual facilities because of the volume of waste generated‚ treatment methods and techniques‚ space‚ investment needed‚ maintenance and availability of qualified

Introduction The science of microbiology is all about microorganisms‚ what they do and how they work. Microorganisms are ubiquitous‚ and are a very important part of life everywhere since they have been around for billions of years. The two main themes associated with microbiology are (1) having an understanding of the nature and function of the microbial world‚ and (2) being able to apply that understanding of the microbial world so that the benefits to the Earth and humans are known(6).

to this lab was to isolate and identify two unknown bacteria from a mixed culture provided to us. This study was done by applying all of the methods that have been instructed on thus far in microbiology laboratory class. Each test performed‚ provided us with some key information about the unknown microbes in question . The identification of unknown bacteria is a time honored part of microbiology courses. It will challenge knowledge and skill in performing laboratory techniques‚ ability to critically

susceptibility to cholera is also affected by their blood type with those with the O type blood being the most susceptible. Persons with lowered immunity such as those with AIDs or children who are malnourished are more likely to experience a severe case if they become infected. Transmission People harvest oysters in waters infected with sewage‚ as vibrio cholera accumulates in zooplankton and the oysters eat the zooplankton. Cholera has been found in two animal populations: shellfish and plankton

Renee A. McIver Margaret Case Study OB--Summer Semester 2016 In Margaret’s Case Study (3) possible causes for her sudden change in medical status could have been due to spontaneous rupture of membranes (SROM)‚ anaphylactic reaction and acute hypotension. SROM is defined rupture of the fetal membranes on their own. This is often referred to by mother’s a “my water broke.” Anaphylactic reactions have a rapid onset and may cause death. Signs and symptoms include shortness of breath and hypotension which
