Finally‚ the bacterial flagellum is a long ‘tail’ which helps the cell move.2 Prokaryotic cells can be harmful as they are bacterial cells and therefore can cause disease. Some of these bacteria have developed a resistance to antibiotics‚ for example‚ MRSA. The resistance becomes coded on the plasmid DNA and as the bacteria can share the plasmid between each other‚ the resistance can bass between the cells. Also‚ as prokaryotic cells reproduce asexually

The difference between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites are: Bacteria are single celled organisms that can rapidly multiple themselves every 10 minutes up to 10 times each bacterial cell‚ but they do not live or reproduce in a human cell. When threatened they will make a copy of their DNA to enable them to come back to life in the right conditions. They are able to survive in most extreme living conditions including with and without oxygen‚ there are various types of bacteria such as Cocci/Coccus

In this essay‚ I am going to discuss traditional and contemporary wound dressings and management techniques. I will be comparing the traditional dressings with today’s current modern dressing. When choosing a dressing many circumstances have to be accessed as what type of wound is it? This makes it a lot harder on which dressing should be used as there are so many different types available today. Many that are used in the veterinary practice are in fact used by humans.
