chemicals that also eliminate pathogens. 2. How is the infectious agent transmitted through food or water? Hepatitis A is the only common vaccine preventable food borne disease in the United States (Fiore 2004). It is one of five human hepatitis viruses that primarily infect the human liver and cause illness. This may result in liver failure and death. It is transferred through food or water that is contaminated with fecal matter that has the HAV virus. Other potential sources of infection are

SURFACE SANITATION VERIFICATION PURPOSE: The primary purpose of this information paper is to provide guidance on the use and implementation of the Charm PocketSwab( for surface sanitation verification in commissaries located throughout EUCOM. BACKGROUND: ATP (adenosine triphosphate) bioluminescence has been used in the food industry for over 10 years to quickly assess and monitor microbial contamination on surfaces. ATP is an excellent means of identifying “hot spots” or areas with organic material

scientific Western Hemisphere, we believe in two possible answers; one, that we descended from Adam, who was created from the mingling of the dirt of the ground with God's breath into his image or two, that we evolved from monkeys which evolved from bacteria, which evolved from non-living chemicals and lightning. These two theories both have credibility - the Bible is one of the oldest and most extensive historical documents we have, recorded with great precision, while evolution is very logical and

Antibiotic resistance Antibiotic resistance is a form of drug resistance whereby some (or, less commonly, all) sub-populations of a microorganism, usually a bacterial species, are able to survive exposure to one or more antibiotics. Accordingly, pathogenic species which have become resistant cause infections which can not be treated with the usual, formerly efficacious antibiotic drugs and/or their usual, formerly efficacious, dosages and concentrations. Resistance may be instrinsic or acquired.

Chlamydia Chlamydia is one of the most common diseases in the United States. The infection is part of a 'silent epidemic' as most cases do not show symptoms and are left untreated. It can cause pelvic inflammatory disease and lead to scarring of the Fallopian tubes causing infertility and higher risk of ectopic pregnancy. The research was carried out at the Molecular Microbiology Group, at the University of Southampton, in conjunction with the Department of Virology, at the Ben Gurion University

more often than not a disease such as cholera is not a worry because of our clean water supplies and filtration equipment, while in developing third world countries, it is more often the water, and many symptom-less carriers pass large amounts of bacteria in their feces that further contaminate water supplies or transmit by poor hand washing. While Cholera is rarely spread directly from

IDENTIFICATION OF PATHOGENIC BACTERIA ASSOCIATES WITH WILT DISEASE OF TOMATO By Anam Nawaz Chapter No: 1 INTRODUCTION Occurrence of Disease in a Host due to Pathogen can only happen in the presence of conducive Environment, or in other words “ disease causal are only the combination of these three elements, Susceptible Host, Virulent Pathogen and Conducive Environment. Otherwise disease does not happen. So these three elements was taken into more consideration which are

Straube Biology 107 Monday 3, 2010 Case Study #3 Tony is suffering from a disease caused from the microorganism Salmonella Typhi. Salmonella Typhi is a bacterium that is strictly a human pathogen with currently 107 known strains of the bacteria. Salmonella Typhi is a facultative anaerobic, gram-negative enteric bacillus belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family. This organism was originally isolated by the late Karl J. Erbeth in 1880. It is a multi-organ pathogen that inhabits the
