Enumeration of Bacterial Contamination in Hamburger Meat from Unknown Sources C March 6‚ 2012 The importance of bacterial enumeration has become even more apparent in recent years due to the increasing numbers of harmful bacteria found in meat products. This process is the key to understanding the populations of microorganisms that contaminate the food supply. Much of the bacteria in meat has been shown to be resistant to multiple drugs; so disease-causing microbes

spirals‚ and spheres. Some bacteria can "swim" around using long tails called flagella. Others just hang out or glide along. Are bacteria dangerous? Most bacteria aren’t dangerous‚ but some are and can make us sick. These bacteria are called Pathogens. Pathogens can cause diseases in animals and plants. Some examples of pathogens are leprosy‚ food poisoning‚ pneumonia‚ tetanus‚ and typhoid fever. Fortunately‚ we have antibiotics we can take which help to fight off the bad pathogens.

the rise in antibiotic resistant pathogens through horizontal gene transfer. Located in the bacteria are plasmids. They are independent‚ self-duplicating‚ and allow bacteria to perform new functions/generate new products. Basically plasmids help their hosts to stop the action of antibiotics and become resistant. “Gene transfer must be integral and critical to the overall survival of bacteria‚ providing a way for them to adapt to difficult conditions” (Levy 2002‚ 83). Horizontal gene transfer can

Heavy metal contamination occurs though all facets of life such as air‚ water‚ food‚ soil‚ and in everyday objects and occurrences. When heavy metals enter the air from factories emissions and smoke‚ it is exposed to the body‚ which mostly affect your skin and lungs such as Cadmium and Arsenic. Common water contaminates are Chromium and Thallium‚ Chromium can enter the water source usually through spills and leaks from power plants. Thallium like other metals occurs naturally in water but some areas

Discovery of Antibiotics “Penicillin” As we know‚ the 19th and 20th centuries were among some of the most drastic years the United States experienced. While we often look at it as a time of bad and wrong decisions‚ there were many positive things that came from them. The most prominent of them were the number of discoveries and inventions that took place and were of great benefits then and now. One of those was the discovery of antibiotics in 1928‚ by Dr. Alexander Fleming. Before this discovery

process in which a bacterial cell takes up extracellular DNA. This can be especially useful for bacteria in order to acquire certain traits such as: antibiotic resistance‚ synthesis of catabolites‚ or any other trait that would help improve its survival. However‚ not all bacterial cells are naturally competent (able to naturally take up extracellular DNA). There are several techniques that can make cells artificially competent‚ some of which will be discussed later. Bacterial transformation was

The audience to whom the responsibility of this problem falls includes pediatricians and family practice physicians who are in the position to prescribe and administer antibiotics to children. Antibiotics have been one of man’s greatest discoveries in the medical realm; saving thousands of lives that would have otherwise succumb to harmful‚ disease-causing bacteria.1 However‚ with the discovery of antibiotics has also come the misconception that they
