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.

at home‚ or dealing with a major surgical wound in the clinical setting‚ hand washing is critical in preventing infection. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is more common than most people think. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (2013) Workplace Safety & Health Topics. MRSA and the Workplace: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus)‚ also known as staph‚ is a type of bacteria that most healthy people carry on their skin‚ or in their nose. The MRSA refers to

The Characteristics of MRSA Staphylococcus aureus is a group of lactic acid-producing bacteria commonly found on the surface of the skin. When it penetrates a break in the surface‚ it induces an immune response that involves hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide. For example‚ when it reaches the gut‚ it induces what is clinically referred to as enterocolitis‚ or infection of the digestive tract (Suzuki‚ 1994). Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA)‚ just like other S. aureus strains avoids such immune

Staphylococcus aureus‚ otherwise known as Staph‚ is a bacterium that has naturally acquired resistance to many current antibiotics. Specifically‚ the MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) strain has acquired resistance to methicillin. Staph frequently colonizes in human nasal passages‚ which serve as reservoirs for transmission. The following texts focus on Staph’s nasal colonization and mode of transmission‚ inspired by the research of Dr. Alexander Cole at UCF’s Burnett School of Biomedical

Looking at these bacterium underneath the microscope is an important step to determine which kind of species it is. All cocci bacteria are not gram positive‚ but this lab will examine only this kind because of their influence in human health. Staphylococcus Aureus is a gram-positive coccus bacterium found in humans. It is frequently found on the mucus membrane in the nasal cavity and on the skin. It also infects many people in the hospital‚ also called a nosocomial infection. S. aureus has a large

Chapter 1 The Problem Introduction Today’s technological innovation and medical advances gave birth to formulation of synthetic drugs used to treat respiratory infections‚ urinary tract infections‚ diarrhea‚ arthritis and other diseases. These pharmaceuticals are costly and to a point‚ inaccessible to many Filipinos. These may also pose adverse effects like nausea‚ dyspnea‚ and diarrhea. Researchers are challenged to produce natural medicines‚ which could be lower in cost and more synergistic
