Bacterial meningitis and Viral meningitis are the two most common and serious types of meningitis. Bacteria meningitis is caused by bacteria. There are several types of pathogens that can cause bacterial meningitis: Haemophilus influenzae‚ Streptococcus pneumoniae‚ and Listeria monocytogenes. Some of the symptoms of Bacteria meningitis are nausea‚ vomiting‚ increased sensitivity to light‚ and confusion. Bacteria meningitis can be life threatening and result in the need of medical attention. It is also

Bacterial pneumonias tend to be the most serious and‚ in adults‚ the most common cause of pneumonia. The most common pneumonia-causing bacterium in adults is Streptococcus Pneumoniae. Respiratory viruses are the most common causes of pneumonia in young children‚ peaking between the ages of 2 and 3. By school age‚ the bacterium Mycoplasma Pneumoniae becomes more common. In some people‚ particularly the elderly and those who are debilitated‚ bacterial pneumonia may follow influenza or even a common cold

Identification of Unknown # 15 Abstract. One of the most fundamental differential staining techniques used in the study of bacteriology is gram staining. There are two main types of bacteria‚ gram negative and gram-positive. The purpose of this experiment was to perform a variety of tests to identify the bacteria contained in the unknown sample labeled number 15. The following are the tests that were used to identify the two different bacteria. The

BRONCHOPNEUMONIA Bronchopneumonia or bronchial pneumonia or Bronchogenic pneumonia is a type of pneumonia that is characterized by an inflammation of the lung generally associated with‚ and following a bout with bronchitis. This inflammation starts in the small bronchial tubes the bronchioles‚ and irregularly spreads to the peribronchiolar alveoli and alveolar ducts with a diameter of about 3 to 4 inches. The result is that the inflammatory changes lead to the localized
