No matter what profession you are pursuing‚ it is important to thrive and succeed in whatever courses you are taking. For those of us who are premedical students‚ we must abide by a strict curriculum. These classes can be a variety of things‚ but most of them relate to science and math in some way‚ shape‚ or form. However‚ everyone has to take general education courses. Since I am a biology major‚ I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to compare two prospective courses I could be taking

Pig production The primary purpose of pig farming is the production of meat‚ including pork and bacon. If the bacon industry is to thrive‚ factories must receive pigs of the right type. In order to improve the level of pig production‚ the use of fine types and feed‚ the implementation of strict epidemic prevention system and using high quality facilities for the effective control of the environment are necessary. The questions of how to improve the technological content of feed pig at each steps

Introduction Zoonotic intestinal parasites are prevalent around the world. One of the most common and studied is transmitted by the microscopic protozoan‚ Giardia intestinalis‚ also known as G. lamblia and G. duodenalis (Ivanov‚ 2010). This eukaryotic parasite is responsible for the transmission of the most common waterborne disease‚ giardiasis‚ which causes watery diarrhea‚ vomiting‚ and has even been linked to irritable bowl syndrome (Ankarklev et. al. 2010). Since its discovery in 1681‚ Giardia

The following show expected colony appearances and morphologies (shapes) of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Note characteristics such as edges‚ color‚ and whether the colonies are rough or smooth in texture. For colony appearances of E. coli and S. aureus‚ scientists often describe what they look like on agar. This is not the microscopic view (for example‚ as with a slide) but a “naked eye” view of how the bacterial colonies look while growing on a medium. (This is one type of culture

Microbiology Laboratory Report Identification of Unknown Bacteria 03/10/05- 04/01/05 Authors: Richard Hendricks‚ Jessica Prebish; NMU Abstract: Broth culture 16 was randomly selected by our group and subjected to qualitative tests for taxonomic identification. The culture did appear homogenous throughout the testing period and is currently retained by Northern Michigan University’s department of Microbiology. We suggest that culture 16 is an example of Escherichia coli. Background: Techniques

Microbiology-2460 Lab-003 March 31‚2008 Lab Report-Escherichia coli Abstract The purpose for this lab report was to identify and inform of an unknown bacteria that has been causing a patient to have lower abdominal and pelvic pain. To obtain the identification of this unknown bacterium‚ several biochemical tests needed to be performed in order to prescribe the correct medication to treat and cure the symptoms. Introduction In a lab today‚ I am to identify an unknown bacterium that is

A medical microbiology lab performs testing on human samples collected from different body sites. The tests are used to detect and identify any microorganisms capable of causing disease. Knowing of unknown microorganism is important on how this microorganism works and how it is structured‚ means knowing how it can affect humans. The purpose of this study was to identify an unknown bacterium by applying all methods that were previously conducted and learned in the medical microbiology laboratory

For my networking assignment I chose to interview Dr. Dale Casamatta. As my biology professor‚ I felt that I could overall learn the most from him‚ hoping to be a potential nursing student. In addition‚ Dr. Casamatta‚ is my favorite teacher so far based solely off how interested he seems to be in informing his students properly and how entertaining he makes the subject. Being in his class‚ makes me appreciate the subject more and makes me feel as though I have something to prove‚ which is I felt

What is a Medical laboratory technician? A laboratory technician process specimens and perform laboratory tests ordered by physicians and medical technologists. Many specialize in cytotechnology‚ hematology or microbiology. As a medical technician‚ you may perform tests on saliva‚ blood‚ and tissue samples and then be responsible for recording and sharing the results with the physician. Performing these tests often requires the ability to operating various medical machines and equipment. You may
