I was then instructed by my professor to use all of my previous knowledge to identify the unknown bacterial pathogen. This lab led me to master my skills of using the Gram stain‚ testing for catalase‚ testing for coagulase and using the oxacillin screen. Now I am going to take you with

Colonisation is where microbes are present on or in the body‚ where they grow and multiply without invading the surrounding tissues. An example of this is the bacteria that cause MRSA will often live harmlessly on the skin and in the nose of people without causing any harm at all to that individual. Localised infection is only confined to one certain part of the body and will only affect that specific area. If they are internal

Superbugs are becoming a big problem in the world‚ but what are superbugs? Superbugs is a bacteria that becomes resistant to antibiotic drugs they carry genes that are resistant to antibiotic drugs and cannot stop the bacteria from multiplying (Staff 1). You might know of superbugs by the term multidrug-resistant bacteria. This mostly happens when people overuse antibiotics and their body becomes immune to those drugs. In very severe cases people with extremely weak immune systems usually die if
