INTRODUCTION This scientific report is to discuss the results of an experiment being conducted on the effect that antibiotics have on the growth of bacteria. This will be done through the use of microbiology. Microbiology is a science in the department of biology‚ particularly microorganisms. These include; bacterium‚ fungi‚ protozoa‚ algae and viruses. This is an important subject to study as microorganisms can be found everywhere‚ covering all matters of different surfaces even including the human

Introduction Pneumonia is defined as the inflammation of lung tissue caused by an infectious agent that results in acute respiratory signs and symptoms. It can either be acquired outside (community-acquired) or within the hospital (hospital-acquired) Who shall be considered as having community-acquired Pneumonia? For ages 3 months to 5 years are tachypnea and/or chest indrawing For ages 5 to 12 years are fever‚ tachypnea‚ and crackles Who shall be considered as having

Part I INTRODUCTION TO MICROBIOLOGY 1 The Evolution of Microorganisms and Microbiology CHAPTER OVERVIEW This chapter introduces the field of microbiology and discusses the importance of microorganisms not only as causative agents of disease‚ but also as important contributors to food production‚ antibiotic manufacture‚ vaccine development‚ and environmental management. It presents a brief history of the science of microbiology and an overview of the microbial world. The origin of life and

Their uses are infinite as are their abilities to develop and adjust to altering environments. That is why it is so significant to be competent to identify microorganisms. This study was conducted by applying techniques and experiments cultured in microbiology lab for the identification of the unknown microorganism.

(Microbiology‚ 2005) Some strains produce an enterotoxin that causes staphylococcus aureus gastroenteritis‚ also known as food poisoning. The most harmful species of S. aureus is Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA); this bacterium has developed antibiotic resistance. (Microbiology‚ 2005) Each year‚ approximately half a million people are admitted to a hospital in the U.S. due to a staphylococcal

I remember taking Medical Terminology almost three years ago back in high school. With only eight students in my class‚ the class was “early-bird”‚ meaning that it started at 5:00 AM. Despite the early time‚ I will forever be indebted to the instructor for helping guide me in journey to become a cardiologist. Before the class‚ I had never had any exposure to the medical field. Since my instructor was an ICU RN‚ I was given the chance to not only learn terms used in medicine‚ but also to go to the

Lab Report Microbiology Introduction Bacteria can be found almost anywhere. For human life‚ some help us‚ some hurt us‚ and others are neutral. It is now known that good bacteria‚ or normal microflora‚ can reach 1014 microbial cells. This is far more than the 1013 cells that make up the human body (Tannock‚ 1995). The total number of bacteria on Earth is estimated to be around 4-6 x 1030 (Horner-Devine‚ 2004). It is important to know the extent of bacteria‚ how they live‚ and how they are

The results indicated that the antibiotics produced by the antagonists were more effective than the fungus itself and differ with different fungi. Coating plant stems with antagonists or with antagonist extracts reduce the severity of the disease but not prevent it in all tested pathogens.
