What causes cancer? Cancer is ultimately the result of cells that uncontrollably grow and do not die. Normal cells in the body follow an orderly path of growth‚ division‚ and death. Programmed cell death is called apoptosis‚ and when this process breaks down‚ cancer begins to form. Unlike regular cells‚ cancer cells do not experience programmatic death and instead continue to grow and divide. This leads to a mass of abnormal cells that grows out of control. How can cancer be prevented? Cancers

Communicable Disease: Communicable diseases‚ also known as infectious diseases or transmissible diseases‚ are illnesses that result from the infection‚ presence and growth of pathogenic (capable of causing disease) biologic agents in an individual human or other animal host. Infections may range in severity from asymptomatic (without symptoms) to severe and fatal. The term infection does not have the same meaning as infectious disease because some infections do not cause illness in a host. Disease

proteins‚ they are antiphagocytic‚ which prevents other cells to engulf the bacteria through phagocytosis. It helps the bacterial cell to adhere to host cells‚ and can help in the formation of biofilm. For the capsule staining‚ the bacteria Klebsiella Pneumoniae was utilized. It is a facultative anaerobe‚ meaning it can survive with or without oxygen present.
