UCSD Biologists Discover Cell’s Defense Mechanism Against Class Of Disease-Causing Bacterial Toxins

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

A group of biologist from University of California, San Diego discovers a latest mechanism that will permit the cells to fight class of toxins which came from various type of disease causing bacteria. Biologist believed that this study they made could give way in forming or formulating a new and more effective treatment for bacterial […]

This article released by the National Institutes of Health explains a study, published in the journal Circulation and supported by four agencies of the NIH, reports that periodontal bacteria are a strong, possible precursor for the development of cardiovascular disease.

The Rise of Antibiotic-Resistant Infections

Friday, July 27th, 2007

Penicillin was considered a medical miracle. It became famous during the Second World War because it quickly eliminated the biggest wartime killer, the infected wounds. It is the product of the soil mold known as Penicillium. It crippled many types of disease-causing bacteria. Four years after its mass-production in 1943, microbes began to appear that […]

Microbial Diseases of the Respiratory System

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

Respiratory system infection is the most common and most damaging type of infection in humans. When harmful bacteria are inhaled, these harmful bacteria are easily spread to the various parts of the body through respiration. Examples of harmful bacteria are pathogens that cause mumps and rubella and they can be examined through the use of […]

Staphylococci

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

Fifty percent of people have the harmful bacteria Staphylococci under their foot or forever crawling all around in the hospitals and living in nasopharynx and the skin.
There are three major species of this type of harmful bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Staphylococcus saprophyticus. To determine the type of staphylococci, Gram stain, catalase test […]

Endemic Murine Typhus and Spotted Fever

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

Endemic Murine Typhus
Endemic murine typhus sporadically occurs rather than in epidemics. The word murine is comes from latin word for mouse, which refers to the fact that rodents, like rats and squirrels, are the common hosts for this disease. The harmful bacterium, as examined through a microscope, liable for the disease is the harmful bacterium […]

Streptococci

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

Streptococci and staphylococci are responsible for a wide variety of clinical diseases. To prescribe the appropriate antibiotic, it is necessary to differentiate between these two harmful bacteria. The first way to differentiate one harmful bacterium from another is to examine their appearance on a Gram stain through a microscope. The harmfuil bacterium Streptococci line up […]

Escherichia Coli

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

Escherichia coli is one of the most common inhabitants of the intestinal tract and is probably the most familiar organism studied in microbiology through the microscope. The presence of this harmful bacterium in water or food is also important as an indication of fecal contamination. E. coli is not usually considered as pathogenic. However, […]
