There are three different types of the most common cases of meningitis. The three include: Neisseria meningitidis‚ Streptococcus pneumoniae‚ and Listeria monocytogenes. In addition‚ many of the symptoms can vary by a different age group. Some symptoms can be more serve than others.

Streptococcus mutans is considered to be constituent of the "normal" flora of the human mouth‚ which is related with dental caries also regarded as tooth decay. Dental caries is a transmissible and infectious dental disease that affects people of all ages. Streptococcus mutans can be transferred from one person to the another through vertical or horizontal transmission. The transmission path of Streptococcus mutans is to settle itself among human hosts. S. mutans prefers hard non-shedding surfaces

How do people "catch pneumonia"? Some cases of pneumonia are contracted by breathing in small droplets that contain the organisms that can cause pneumonia. These droplets get into the air when a person infected with these germs coughs or sneezes. In other cases‚ pneumonia is caused when bacteria or viruses that are normally present in the mouth‚ throat‚ or nose inadvertently enter the lung. During sleep‚ it is quite common for people to aspirate secretions from the mouth‚ throat‚ or nose. Normally

Lastly‚ with the information gathered‚ it was identified that the unknown sample was Streptococcus salivarius. Introduction: In this lab‚ the exploration of an unknown gram positive bacteria was conducted. What is known about gram positive microorganisms is that their cell walls are composed of a thick peptidoglycan layer‚ which retains

Rheumatic fever is an autoimmune inflammatory disease that can develop as a complication of insufficient treatment of strep throat or scarlet fever. Strep throat and scarlet fever are caused by an infection with group A streptococcus bacteria. Rheumatic fever is most prevalent in children ages 5- to 15-year-old‚ although it can develop in younger children and adults. Although strep throat is common‚ rheumatic fever is rare in the United States and other developed countries. Nevertheless‚ rheumatic
