and chloroplasts contain their own DNA and self-replicate‚ their genetic codes are passed along with the rest of the cell when reproduction occurs. The two types of ribosomes made in a eukaryotic cell will respond differently when given certain antibiotics (Nelson‚ et al 2009). This experiment focused on two: erythromycin and cyclohexamide. When given erythromycin‚ tRNA is inhibited from transferring from one site of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) to another site during protein synthesis. However‚ this

Staphylococcus epidermidis is considered “an opportunistic pathogen.” It usually has a symbiotic relationship with its host‚ and for this reason it rarely causes diseases and is usually considered nonpathogenic (Avdic‚ Habes‚ and Avdic 3885). Recently though‚ the microorganism is becoming the common cause of nosocomial infections. In “Microbiology: with diseases by taxonomy”‚ Richard Bauman defines a nosocomial

Emancipatory Perspective I believe I should have been more confident in my ability to explain what MRSA is as I just completed a course in microbiology and MRSA was a primary focus. I think I did a good job explaining MRSA in simple‚ non medical words because the daughter was not quite understanding the information I was relaying at first.

The tissues die rapidly‚ so it is important for doctors to catch it early. This disease increases sensitivity‚ releases toxins‚ increases the permeability of the vessels‚ inhibits blood supply.

Introduction Osteomyelitis is an ancient disease dating back to 460 BC (Schmitt‚ 2017). It is a bone infection‚ usually caused by bacteria‚ that can be either acute or chronic. This condition usually occurs as a result of an infection in one part of the body that is transported through the bloodstream to a bone in a distant location. Most cases stem from Diabetes because bacterial infections are a large risk factor for the diabetic patient due to high glucose levels weakening the immune system.

is crucial to its motility‚ a characteristic that helps this organism colonize. Moreover‚ since P. mirabilis flagellum has also been linked to the ability to form biofilms‚ it aids in the bacteria’s resistance to defenses of the host and select antibiotics. On a switching note‚ since P. mirabilis is Urease positive this allows it to thrive by raising its PH which can lead to stone formation in the kidneys (kidney Stones). Infections caused by P. mirabilis are seen most often in nursing home patients
