Lazcano adds that without the beneficial microorganisms in the body we also die "due to infection in the mucous membranes‚ skin‚ or pathogens that cannot normally proliferate by the presence of guests who always carry".

P1: you must explain how infections are caused by‚ bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites. P2: you must explain how pathogenic microorganisms grow and spread. In this assignment I am going to explain how infections are caused by‚ bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites. I will then explain how pathogenic microorganisms grow and spread. Infection is the process where germs enter a susceptible area in the body‚ where they multiply‚ resulting in disease. Colonisation is where microbes are present

Fermentation consists of a chemical breakdown of any substance by the means of bacteria‚ yeast or other microorganisms. It has the added benefit of preserving our food longer. Here are a few well-known examples of fermentation processes. The Rennet is a natural enzyme mixture (found in calves’ fourth stomach)‚ in which the enzyme chymosin destroys the kappa

November 2011 B iofilters are a proven and effective method for reducing odor and other gaseous emissions from mechanically ventilated animal facilities and manure storage units. Biofilters work by absorbing noxious gases into a biofilm where microorganisms break down the gases into carbon dioxide‚ water‚ and salts and use the energy and nutrients to grow and reproduce. Well-designed and managed biofilters can reduce odors and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) by as much as 95 percent and ammonia (NH3) by

Health and Safety. Introduction The quality of health and safety of the environment is greatly affected by the environment itself‚ never more so than in the health care setting‚ where patients and clients may be more vulnerable than in there own homes. Florence Nightangale suggested that patients in health care settings may be harmed just by being there. Health and Safety commission (1992) places a general duty on employers to ensure the health and safety of employees. Infection Control

They can also be employed to contaminate inorganic elements such as air‚ water and soil. There’s an array of microorganisms that can be utilized as biological weapons‚ some are more reliable based of their availability and effectiveness. The substances that are commonly chosen for biological weapons are highly toxic‚ cheap to produce and obtain‚ easy to disseminate

CAUTI or a catheter associated urinary tract infection is the most common of all health associated infections. So‚ CAUTIs consists of 40% of health associated infections (Ozella‚ 2010). The risk of a patient developing a CAUTI is about “3% to 7% in an acute care setting” (Ozella‚ 2010). In addition‚ CAUTIs results in approximately “$565 million in excess health care costs and approximately 13‚000 deaths are each year” (Rabideaux‚ 2013). Furthermore‚ although the complications of CAUI can vary from

13 PRINCIPLES OF STERILE TECHNIQUE 1. ONLY STERILE ITEMS ARE USED WITHIN THE STERILE FIELD. Some items such as linens‚ sponges‚ or basins may be obtained from stock supply of sterile packages. Others‚ such as instruments‚ may be sterilized immediately proceeding the operation and removed directly from the sterilizer to the sterile tables. Every person who dispenses a sterile article must be sure of its sterility and of its sterile until used. Proper packaging‚ sterilizing‚ and handling should
