the skins surface‚ or it can affect tissues underlying the skin and can spread to lymph nodes and even the bloodstream. Cellulitis occurs when bacteria‚ most commonly streptococcus and staphylococcus enter through breaks in the skin. One of the most serious infections is called Methicillin-resistance Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Bacteria is most likely to enter the body through disrupted areas of skin‚ such as areas of recent surgery‚ IV catheters‚ cuts‚ puncture wounds‚ an ulcer or dermatitis. Certain

chemotherapeutic agents from plants is a research area of the utmost importance. The present study was designed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of banana (Musa sapientum Linn.) Blossom extract against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli). The appropriate extraction process with an outstanding antibacterial activity of the extract was the alcoholic extraction with 80% ethyl alcohol for 48 hours. The antimicrobial activities of the extract were evaluated

I. Introduction of Disease An abscess (Latin: abscessus) is a collection of pus (dead neutrophils) that has accumulated in a cavity formed by the tissue on the basis of an infectious process (usually caused by bacteria orparasites) or other foreign materials (e.g. splinters‚ bullet wounds‚ or injecting needles). It is adefensive reaction of the tissue to prevent the spread of infectious materials to other parts of the body. The organisms or foreign materials kill the local cells‚ resulting in the

Section 1: Infections in Healthcare Settings Essay. Nosocomial infections‚ hospital acquired infections‚ are an on-going concern to healthcare professionals. These infections are one of the major causes of death in hospitalised patients and are a significant burden on not only the patient’s and the public’s health (as organisms causing nosocomial infections can be transmitted to the community through discharged patients‚ staff and visitors) but also the economy. A nosocomial infection is an infection
