attributable to both the infestation and a hypersensitivity reaction to the mite. Scabies is generally a nuisance on account of itching‚ rash‚ and its ability to spread easily‚ although there is a possibility of superinfection (especially with Streptococcus pyogenes). The most common sites of infestation are the fingers and the wrists‚ but in older individuals the infection may manifest as a diffuse truncal eruption. Characteristic clinical presentation Scabies has three basic clinical presentations:

This infection is caused by one of two types of bacterial infections: streptococcus and staphylococcus. There are several different types of Impetigo‚ their symptoms is what sets them apart. The one that is most common among children is called Impetigo Contagiosa or also known as Nonbullous Impetigo. This type starts off as

Archaea - very primitive; live in extreme habitats 2. Eubacteria - more advanced 3.

In the 1930’s‚ Richard Dogmagk experimented with a red dye called prontosil and found that it had strange healing effects‚ when he injected the dye into mice with severe streptococcus infections‚ they all survived. Dogmagk had discovered the one of the fist antibiotics‚ specifically the first Sulfa drug. When scientists isolated the active part of the prontosil molecule they discovered how it and all sulfa drugs work. Sulfa drugs contain a sulfur atom that has six total bonds (shared electrons)
