I have to admit‚ she’s the bravest fourteen year old girl I have ever met. I haven’t seen her cry once. After the Outbreak spread‚ we’ve lost contact with our parents because of the chaos in the streets. We haven’t seen them in 7 months‚ when this all started. I fear the worst‚ but she’s optimistic.

Main article: Progress of the SARS outbreak The epidemic appears to have originated in Guangdong Province in November 2002 ("Patient #0" -- first reported symptoms -- has been attributed to Charles Bybelezar of Montreal‚ Canada) and‚ despite taking some action to control it‚ Chinese government officials did not inform the World Health Organization of the outbreak until February 2003‚ restricting media coverage in order to preserve public confidence. This lack of openness caused delays in efforts

Biology101 McDowall 10/29/2012 Escherichia Coli “The Bacterial Beast” E.coli or binomial name Escherichia coli was discovered by a German pediatrician named Theodore Escherich in 1885. Dr. Escherich originally named the bacteria‚ bacillus communis coli. After the demise of Dr. Escherich the intestinal bacteria was then named Escherichia coli after the late doctor in 1919. The bacteria Escherichia coli are classified as follows. Domain- Bacteria Kingdom- Eubacteria Phylum- Proteobacteria

members of the genus Vibrio are Gram-negative‚ motile and most of the members have a single polar flagellum‚ when grown in liquid medium (Kaysner & DePaola‚ 2004). Vibrio cholerae lives naturally in riverine and is the causative agent of cholera outbreaks and epidemics. Vibrio cholerae is comma-shaped. Initial isolates are slightly curved‚ whereas they can appear as straight rods upon laboratory culturing. Vibrio cholerae is a facultative anaerobe and can undergo respiratory and fermentative metabolism

Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus albus Some bacteria’s require a certain amount of light in order to function properly and there fore survive. Escherichia coli is found in the gut and intestines of mammals. Staphylococcus albus is generally a skin dwelling bacteria Aim: To test whether the amount and type of light that the bacteria’s E.coli and S.albus are subject to causes changes in their growth rates and habits.

Life of Escherichia Coli Escherichia Coli 0157:H7 bacterium can live in the intestines of cattle‚ therefore meat can become infected during slaughtering. You can contract this bacterium by eating undercooked meat‚ especially ground beef. Escherichia Coli 0157:H7 can also be contracted by eating contaminated fruits or vegetables‚ as well by drinking raw fruit juices or milk‚ or sewage contaminated water. Infection can also be spread via person to person. Escherichia Coli 0157:H7 can also be

Transformation Of Escherichia Coli With pGLO Plasmid April 24‚ 2013 ABSTRACT: This experiment focuses on genetic engineering and transformation of bacteria. The characteristics of bacteria are altered from an external source to allow them to express a new trait‚ in this case antibiotic resistance. In is experiment foreign DNA is inserted into Escherichia coli in order to alter its phenotype. The goal of the experiment is to transform E. coli with pGLO plasmid‚ which carries a gene for ampicillin
