The following show expected colony appearances and morphologies (shapes) of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Note characteristics such as edges‚ color‚ and whether the colonies are rough or smooth in texture. For colony appearances of E. coli and S. aureus‚ scientists often describe what they look like on agar. This is not the microscopic view (for example‚ as with a slide) but a “naked eye” view of how the bacterial colonies look while growing on a medium. (This is one type of culture

MRSA Prevention in American Hospitals: A Review of the Literature Jenny Niemann AP Language and Composition Mrs. Cook November 4‚ 2010 Abstract Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a harmful and virulent antibiotic resistant bacterium that is a major concern in most American hospitals. Modern scientists are aiming to discover effective prevention methods for MRSA in hospitals‚ so productive prevention guidelines can be created. Clinical microbiologists

fungi were successfully isolated from K. Africana for the first time: including Cladosporium sp.‚ Aspergillus flavus‚ Aspergillus sp.‚ Curvularia lunata as well as three unknown species. The fungal extracts were assessed for antibacterial activity against three standard pathogenic bacterial strains: Bacillus subtilis‚ Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Most of the extracts showed in vitro inhibition of bacterial growth. The phytochemical screening revealed the existence of a diverse group

Another bacteria is Staphylococcus aureus (STAFF-ee-loeKOK-us OR-i-us). When resistance develops‚ it is commonly called MRSA for methacillin (METH-a-SILL-in) resistant or ORSA for oxacillin (OX-aSILL-in) resistant Staphylococcus

Staphylococcus aureus‚ otherwise known as Staph‚ is a bacterium that has naturally acquired resistance to many current antibiotics. Specifically‚ the MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) strain has acquired resistance to methicillin. Staph frequently colonizes in human nasal passages‚ which serve as reservoirs for transmission. The following texts focus on Staph’s nasal colonization and mode of transmission‚ inspired by the research of Dr. Alexander Cole at UCF’s Burnett School of Biomedical

Bacterial Biology █ BRIAN D. HOYLE An understanding of the fundamentals of bacterial biology is critical to bacteriologists and other forensic investigators attempting to identify potential biogenic pathogens that may be exploited as agents in biological warfare or by bioterrorists. Fundamentals of Bacterial Biology Bacteria are one-celled prokaryotic organisms that lack a true nucleus (i.e.‚ a nucleus defined by a membrane). Bacteria maintain their genetic material‚ deoxyribonucleic
