Identification of Staphylococcus aureus and epidermidis Wendy Heck Bio 175: General Microbiology Fall 2012-11-21 Staphylococcus aureus is the most pathogenic for humans and Staphylococcus epidermidis is part of the normal flora and is of low pathogenicity. Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus are two medically important species of bacteria. A culture from the nose and throat was taken to perform whether or not Staphylococcus epidermidis or Staphylococcus aureus were detected. Test

Outcome 1 - Understand the causes of infection 1 - Identify the differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites Bacteria - Bacteria are organisms made up of just 1 cell. They are capable of multiplying by themselves‚ as they have the power to divide. Bacteria exist everywhere‚ inside and on our bodies. Most of them are completely harmless and some of them are very useful. But some bacteria can cause diseases‚ either because they end up in the wrong place in the body or simply because

Probiotics Probiotics are living microscopic organisms‚ or microorganisms‚ that scientific research has shown to benefit the health. Most often they are bacteria‚ but they may also be other organisms such as yeasts. In some cases they are similar‚ or the same‚ as the “good” bacteria already in the body‚ particularly those in the gut. These good bacteria are part of the trillions of microorganisms that inhabit the bodies. This community of microorganisms is called the microbiota. Some microbiota organisms

Causes and spread of infection Identify the differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi‚ parasites? -Viruses aren’t living. They’re only made of complex proteins and nucleic acids. Bacteria‚ Fungi and Parasites are living organisms. - Bacteria are unicellular microorganisms. Fungi and Parasites are multicellular. - Fungi have cell walls made of chitin and they aren’t animals. Parasites and bacteria are animals. Bacteria come in 3 main shapes; spherical which are known as cocci‚ rod shaped

Any species of bacteria can turn into a superbug. A superbug is a strain of bacteria that is resistant to antibiotics. According to webmd.com "Every year‚ about 2 million people get sick from a superbug‚ according to the CDC. About 23‚000 die. Earlier this year‚ an outbreak of CRE (carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae) linked to contaminated medical tools sickened 11 people at two Los-Angeles area hospitals. Two people died‚ and more than 200 others may have been exposed." This has become a serious
