The Staphylococcus aureus‚ a bacteria that is found in the nose‚ has been a leading cause of infection in hospitals around the world. This is an antibiotic-resistant‚ nosocomial pathogen‚ meaning that it’s acquired at hospitals. To test the idea that these infections have increased‚ eight hospitals participated in a study within the New York Area. The following are hospitals participated in this study: VA hospital‚ Kings County Hospital‚ Columbia University Medical Center‚ New York-Presbyterian Queens

Over time the bacteria E. coli became resistant to the antibiotics‚ and once resistant then the medicine (penicillin) has no effect (Doughari 2012). The purpose of the experiment is to understand the processes by which genes can be inserted into plasmids‚ also to gain some experience in cloning genes via E. coli‚ lastly to understand the medicinal and other implications of gene transfer among organisms (Hoot‚ Wimpee‚

It is commonly known as E. coli and 0157:H7; E. coli found in the human intestinal tract and is found in multiple forms. E. coli is rod shaped and the size of two microns to one micron. Widely known for the deadly stain found in feces and meat. The pathogen is still a major instrumental issue in human health and is easily infectious with contaminated sustenance.
