to infections because of their compromised immunity‚ frequent invasive use of vascular accesses‚ exposure to blood-borne pathogens (e.g.‚ Hepatitis B or C)‚ and colonization with multidrug-resistant microorganisms (e.g.‚ methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)). Hand hygiene is the most important evidence-based intervention to prevent transmission of nosocomial infection in a health care setting. Therefore‚ it is imperative for all HD patients to be educated on the importance of regular

MILK FABRIC ABSTRACT: The milk fabric is new born fabric. The milk protein fabric moistens skin and it is healthy and bacteriostatic - it is the perfect material to produce underwear and socks‚ pants‚ long-sleeve T’s and jackets also. The important ingredients of milk protein fiber are milk casein proteins‚ which can nourish and lubricate the skin. The milk protein contains the natural humectant factor‚ which can capture the moisture and maintain skin’s moisture to make the skin tender and smooth

Experiment 9: Growth curve of Serratia marcescens Abstract Bacteria grows by binary fission. The aim of this experiment is to follow the growth of Serratia marcescens in nutrient broth at 37oCby recording the changes in turbidity (cloudiness) by measuring the absorbance of visible light (600 nm) and also to prove that there is an increase in the cell number and not just in mass during the growth. In the experiment we measure the full growth curve of Serratia marcescens by measuring the absorbance

He once opened one of his Petri dishes for a few seconds to smear it with a strain of staphylococcus which is a bacterium that typically occurs in clusters resembling grapes. Fleming noticed a halo of inhibition of bacterial growth around a contaminant blue-green mold staphylococcus plate culture. He concluded that the mold was releasing a substance that was inhibiting bacterial growth and lysing the bacteria. He grew a pure culture
