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. I realized right away she did not understand the medical

which include streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxins. It is a rare bacterial infection that invades the skin and tissues under the skin. (Asttrino 1). 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. There are several stages of necrotizing fasciitis. Normally people who get necrotizing fasciitis have a weak immune system‚ have chronic health problems‚ have cuts

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

described in detail‚[3] although there are millions of different types.[4] Viruses are found in almost every ecosystem on Earth and are the most abundant type of biological entity.[5][6] The study of viruses is known as virology‚ a sub-speciality of microbiology. Virus particles (known as virions) consist of two or three parts: i) the genetic material made from either DNA or RNA‚ long molecules that carry genetic information; ii) a protein coat that protects these genes; and in some cases iii) an envelope
