My topic that I found interesting that relates to microbiology is Biological Warfare. It is where organisms such as bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi‚ toxins are used to kill or injure people. Organisms that are used in biological warfare are called agents. Biological agents have been around since ancient times. Archers would infect their arrows by dipping them in dead‚ decomposing bodies or blood that is mixed with feces. Now in modern times‚ biological warfare has become more sophisticated. In WW1‚

CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY This chapter includes all the materials and procedures that were properly followed to gather the needed information and necessary data for the study. A. Sources of Test Organisms The bacterial isolates (Staphylococcus aureus‚ Escherichia coli and Streptococcus) used in the experiment were obtained from Institute of Biological Science‚ University of the Philippines Los Baños‚ Laguna. B. Maintenance of Microbial Cultures Bacterial isolated were subculture

Parasites are different from bacteria or viruses because their cells share many features with human cells. 2. Bacteria: Food poisoning. (Salmonella). Whooping cough. Tuberculosis. Tonsillitis. Ear infections. MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). Meningitis. Viruses: Chicken pox. AIDS/HIV. Mumps Common cold. Herpes. Fungi: Athlete foot. Yeast infections. Ringworm Thrush. Parasites: Tapeworms. Schistosomiasis. Sleeping sickness (trypanosomiasis). Leishmaniasis

abies born with CF don’t gain weight as expected. They fail to thrive in spite of a normal diet and a good appetite. Mucus blocks the passageways of the pancreas and prevents pancreatic digestive juices from entering the intestines. Without these digestive juices‚ the intestines can’t absorb fats and proteins completely‚ so nutrients pass out of the body unused rather than helping the body grow. Poor fat absorption makes the stools appear oily and bulky and increases the child’s risk for deficiencies

How have you reached this conclusion? It was most likely the result of: a. Staphylococcus aureus. The chickens got in contact with human who carries disease‚ in this case most probably from the chef b. Clostridium perfringens. The cooked chickens were left in room temperature on the bench until the next morning (slowly) c. Salmonella

January‚ 2012 Ms. Santiago Abstract Humans especially for those who live in dirty community are prone to get disease such as cholera‚ diarrhea‚ fever and many more because there is an unseen specimen called bacteria. Bacteria such as e-coli and staphylococcus are the most common bacteria that can cause illness to mankind. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) 3 out of 10 people are infected by bacteria that cause various diseases. This study was conducted to determine the anti-bacterial
