A surgical site infection(SSI) is defined when a microorganism settles into and contaminates sterile tissue within 30 days of the surgery. Per the CDC (2017) SSIs are responsible for 31% of healthcare-associated infections or nosocomial infections which is the highest leading cause. This can happen before during or after a patient has surgery. There are many physiological risks that are evaluated before a person has surgery to see if they are at a high risk for a surgical site infection. Some

INTRODUCTION: Site directed mutagenesis is molecular biology technique that is used to make specific‚ intentional and precise changes to the DNA sequence of a gene or any gene products. It is also used to determine the structure and biological activity of DNA‚ RNA and protein molecules. It is also called as site-specific mutagenesis or oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis. This method has also found use in understanding important genetic process like DNA conformational analysis and also functioning

Usually‚ contamination occurs between a raw food and a cooked food‚ vegetables and meats‚ or for hygienic reasons. For example‚ cross-contamination can occur

quicker the reaction‚ and so the faster the rate. Speed = fixed distance so Reaction rate = fixed amount of reaction time taken time taken From this we can see that the reaction rate is proportional to l ÷ time. THE DISAPPEARING CROSS The reaction used in this experiment is between dilute hydrochloric acid and sodium thiosulphate (formula Na2S2O3). You can see from the chemical equation below that one of the products is sulphur‚ which does not dissolve in water. [pic]

Here are some examples of food-to-food cross-contamination: * In a refrigerator‚ meat drippings from raw meat stored on a top shelf might drip onto cooked vegetables placed on lower shelf. * Raw chicken placed on a grill touching a steak that is being cooked.
