food. A pathogen “is a biological agent that causes disease or illness to its host.” (www.sciencedaily.com/terms/pathogen.htlm) There are many ways foods can be in contact with pathogens. First of all, the air and soil has many pathogens and bacteria floating in it that can easily come in contact with our food. If the food is packaged, there may be pathogens from the packaged materials. Also pesticides used to preserve foods is very commonly used. Materials and Methods: First I chose to

give a background on the characteristics, pathogenicity and some uses of one of the identified unknowns. II. Introduction In this lab report I will discuss how I came to find my two unknown bacteria. Each bacteria have undergo many different test to eventually identifying both bacteria. We understand that bacteria6 the discussion on the role of microbes in human welfare may be divided under two headings - good and bad 6. Microbes as we know are capable of both good and bad as for as

Task #1: Fungi Nicole Keane Clinical Microbiology C453 1/6/2016 Introduction For this experiment, five food substrates were chosen to compare fungal growth placed in the same environment over a period of seven days. The five foods that were used for this experiment were grapes, strawberry, bread, American cheese slice, and a green pepper. Materials and Methods The materials needed for this experiment were five different food items, five small plastic bags, and five wet paper towels

Let us say something about Energy that I know while I was in high school Physics class. Energy is usually defined as the ability to do work. In general; we would say that energy is fundamental entity whose availability and flow are required for all phenomena, natural or artificial. Energy neither be created nor destroyed; rather it is changed from one form to another. That means mechanical energy, such as the kinetic energy of motion can be converted to heat energy. Let’s come to the type of energy

Botox Botulinum toxin offers relief to neuro-muscular disease patients Clostridium botulinum is a bacterium that produces neurotoxin which can cause dead food poisoning. Yet, this poison has been used as a tool to fight wrinkles. Botulinum toxin marketed in therapeutic doses as “Botox”. Initially, it was used to treat neuro-muscular disease with involuntary muscle contraction symptopms. This problem arises from too little inhibitory input to motor neuron, as compared to excitatory input,

The immune system can be divided into two components, a primary innate generalised system and a secondary specialised response. It is the integration of these two systems which can eliminate harm provoked by an invader. The innate response includes multiple physiological and anatomical barriers, including unbroken skin, low pH conditions found on the skin and in the stomach, mucociliary clearance, temperature as well as a few more which all aid in the maintenance of an antimicrobial environment

Methodology Glucocorticoids Influence on CFTR Because chloride is a major component in the fluid that is secreted from pulmonary epithelial cells, it plays an essential role for the development of fetal lungs. It was previously found that as birth approaches, CFTR levels decline sand cortisol levels increase. Which is why this study investigates the effect of glucocorticoids on the chloride channels in the lungs. In this procedure, fetal distal lung epithelial (FDLE) cells were isolated from
