controversial and uprising issue that is being addressed in the present day (Atlas‚ 2014). Hittites‚ in 1500 BC‚ used Francisella tularensis (Pahvant Valley Plague) as a bioweapon by parading infected victims into the cities of enemies (Loike‚ 2013). Yersinia pesti‚ also known as Black Death or the Bubonic Plague‚ was the origin of the European pandemic in the 14th century.

P1: you must explain how infections are caused by‚ bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites. P2: you must explain how pathogenic microorganisms grow and spread. In this assignment I am going to explain how infections are caused by‚ bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites. I will then explain how pathogenic microorganisms grow and spread. Infection is the process where germs enter a susceptible area in the body‚ where they multiply‚ resulting in disease. Colonisation is where microbes are present

Lesson 1: Introduction to Epidemiology Section 10: Chain of Infection As described above‚ the traditional epidemiologic triad model holds that infectious diseases result from the interaction of agent‚ host‚ and environment. More specifically‚ transmission occurs when the agent leaves its reservoir or host through a portal of exit‚ is conveyed by some mode of transmission‚ and enters through an appropriate portal of entry to infect a susceptible host. This sequence is sometimes called the chain

The E.coli bacterial cell was used in order to observe how its DNA was able to change and develop immunity towards ampicillin. In order for this change to occur the use of several

healthy children at the same time should prompt the clinician to explore for all possible triggers of reactive arthritis. Common causes of enteric reactive arthritis are preceding infections attributable to Salmonella‚ Shigella‚ Campylobacter‚ and Yersinia. Clostridium difficile is an uncommon cause of reactive arthritis‚ but should be considered as part of the differential especially children with recent antibiotic use or colonic symptoms. Diarrhea caused by C-difficile is not necessary to be bloody
