and recent‚ recount the curing of skin infections‚ including diaper rash‚ by using red soils from the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Following inoculation of red soils isolated from geographically separate areas of Jordan‚ Micrococcus luteus and Staphylococcus aureus were rapidly killed. Over the 3-week incubation period‚ the number of specific types of antibiotic-producing bacteria increased‚ and high antimicrobial activity (MIC‚ ∼10 μg/ml) was observed in methanol extracts of the inoculated red soils

Streptococcus spp. After the initial tests were conducted‚ five more tests were done to narrow down the genera and species. From the provided list of possible unknown genera‚ the only genus left was Staphylococcus. However Staphylococcus has many species‚ so test focused on differentiating the many species of Staphylococcus were conducted. First‚ to confirm that the unknown wasn’t a Micrococcus sp.‚ the bacitracin test was used. This test confirmed that the unknown 32 was a resistant bacitracin resistant bacterium

negative impact on the human body in the form of infections‚ commonly involving the urinary tract. Another gram-positive bacteria‚ Staphylococcus‚ exists in the nose and on the skin of humans. Found in these locals‚ it is generally benign‚ until there is a disruption or injury in the skin that introduces it systemically. (Stoppler‚ Melissa Conrad MD). Staphylococcus can be insidious and potentially life-threatening if left untreated‚ causing sepsis if left to run rampant. A yeast delineated as

The microbes used for the testing the activities are E.coli‚ Staphylococcus aureus‚ Bacillus subtilis‚ Salmonella typhi‚ Aspergillusniger‚ Candida parapsilosis‚ Trichophyton rubrum. With different concentrations of the extracts starting from 2.5µg/ml‚ 5.0µg/ml‚ 7.5µg/ml‚ 1.0µg/ml and the highest activity is shown by Staphylococcus aureus and Candida parapsilosis.

spreading around. The article starts off by expressing the valid point of the spreading of harmful diseases. A 12-year-old boy named Omar Rivera‚ from Brooklyn‚ died after getting infected by a disease. This disease was Methicillian Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus‚ otherwise known as MRSA. This bacterium is resistant to one of the most potent drug classes in the current antibiotic arsenal. Because of these dangerous bacteria’s developing resistance to antibiotics‚ it puts the risk of mortality higher

(Larkin et al. 1990; Gray et al. 1995) Gray et al found that bacterial contamination is common in 77% of lens cases‚ followed by contamination with fungi (24%) and then protozoan (20%). Most commonly found organisms include Pseudomonas aeruginosa‚ Staphylococcus spp‚ Acanthamoeba spp and Fusarium species from CL cases. But still there are variations in isolated organisms from contact lens storage case in different studies. Studies also have documented the most commonly recovered micro-organisms in contact

My journey to the unknown started about three weeks before the end of my microbiology class at Brunswick Community College. This journey started out with a media plate cultured with an unknown species of bacteria. 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
