Inflammation of the tonsils can be caused by many contagious bacteria or viruses‚ including strains of streptococcus bacteria‚ adenovirus‚ influenza virus‚ Epstein-Barr virus‚ enterovirus‚ and the herpes simplex virus. One of the most frequent causes of tonsillitis is group A beta hemolytic Streptococcus pyogenes (GABHS)‚ which is also the cause of strep throat; it is responsible for 30% of childhood tonsillitis and 10% of adult cases (Lauro).

MICROBIOLOGY SECTION The microbiology section aims at studying yu ailments and diseases from the isolation of suspected causative organisms. The processes involved in the isolation of these organisms include; culturing‚ staining‚ microscopy and sensitivity tests. Samples collected for examination include; stool‚ blood‚ sputum‚ urine‚ vaginal swab‚ wound swab and wound biopsy. Bacterial Culturing and sensitivity Cultures are carried out to isolate suspected organisms from a sample. There are different

isolated phytoconstituents were subjected to disc diffusion assay to ascertain their antibacterial effect. Results Hot water and acetone seed extracts showed considerably good antibacterial activity against all the bacteria except Klebsiella pneumoniae and one strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Minimum inhibitory concentration for aqueous and acetone seed extracts ranged from 20–80 mg/ml and 5–15 mg/ml respectively. Viable cell count studies revealed the bactericidal nature of the seed extracts

Antibacterial action of the irrigants against Enterococcus faecalis in the root canal The overall percentage reduction of E. faecalis inside the root canal after biomechanical procedures was presented in table1. All the irrigants significantly reduced bacteria in comparison with positive control group (P< 0.01). The average reduction of bacteria in the presence of E.galbie did not have any significant difference with 2.5% NaOCl‚ CHX 2%‚ CHX 0.2% and M.communis L. (P > 0.05). The average reduction

the selective agent‚ can allow only Enterococcus and group d streptococcus to hydrolyse esculin in the presence of bile salts‚ and inhibit growth of other gram positive organisms. Ferric citrate is an indicator. When the hydrolytic substrate esculin molecules are split‚ the product esculetin reacts with ferric citrate and forms a dark brown iron ions precipitate. Positive result indicates the organism is a member of group D Streptococcus or Enterococcus‚ they grow in the medium and turn medium darken

What Is Microbiology? Microbiology is the study (logy) of very small (micro) living (bio) things. Microbiology is the study of microorganisms. These "bugs" include: bacteria (that’s the Latin plural for bacterium); viruses (that’s the non-Latin plural for virus - virii sounds weird‚ so I don’t say it); and‚ fungi (that’s the Latin plural for fungus - which by now you have guessed‚ or already knew‚ and may not be all that interested to know‚ anyway). Microbiology is actually made up of several

1.4.1. Safety Aspects of Probiotics Today‚ there are evidences that probiotic strains used as commercial bacteria are safe to use in applications. The safety of the probiotic products is appraised with the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics and the statistics of used microorganisms (Çakır 2003). Safety aspects of probiotic bacteria include the following requirements. 1. Strains for human use are preferred to be human origin. 2. They are isolated from healthy human gastrointestinal tract. 3
