and why disease-causing bacteria grow and spread‚ so that you are able to prevent food-borne diseases. Kinds of bacteria 1. Beneficial bacteria These are helpful to us. They can enhance flavor of butter‚ yoghurt‚ and cheese. 2. Undesirable bacteria These are bacteria that are responsible for food spoilage. 3. Disease-causing bacteria or pathogens These are bacteria that are most of the food-borne illnesses. The only way to protect food against pathogenic bacteria is by proper hygiene and

Clostridium tetani is a pathogenic bacterium. It is a gram positive bacillus‚ which means it possesses thick cell walls made of peptidoglycan and appear as rod shaped. C. tetani is an obligate anaerobe that form spores which are resistant to heat and exposure to oxygen (Brüggemann‚ 2015). This ability to form spores allows the cell to survive in harsh conditions‚ packing everything it needs to survive until conditions improve. C. tetani is found mostly in warm‚ damp areas‚ especially in soil‚ but

Iran Correspondence: * rasooli@shahed.ac.ir ABSTRACT Preservative agents are required to ensure that manufactured foods remain safe and unspoiled. Antimicrobial properties of essential oils (EOs) reveal that Gram-positive bacteria are more vulnerable than Gram-negative bacteria. A number of EO components have been identified as effective antibacterials‚ e.g. carvacrol‚ thymol‚ eugenol‚ cinnamaldehyde and cinnamic acid‚ having minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) at higher dilutions in vitro.

family of bacteria in the division firmicutes (meaning strong skin and referring to the cell wall) and the class bacilli (which refers to its rod like shape). They look just like streptococcus bacteria from physical characteristics alone. In fact‚ members of the genus Enterococcus were classified as Group D Streptococcus until 1984 when genomic DNA analysis showed that a separate genus classification would be appropriate. Enterococci are part of the normal intestinal flora (good bacteria) of humans

mind that causes symptoms and has a negative impact on health. Diseases may be inherited and have a genetic component‚ or can be the result of pathogenic infections. Our lifestyle choice may further exacerbate the risk of contraction of disease. This essay expands on these principles to describe how disease is caused in humans. Pathogens‚ such as bacteria‚ fungi or viruses are agents that cause disease. Pathogens cause disease by gaining entry into the host‚ colonise the tissues‚ resist the host
