Just like streptococcus pyogenes, this bacteria can travel deep into the tissues and cause infections in organs, bones, and blood (MRSA infection, 2015). Staph bacteria is commonly found in our normal skin flora and most of the time it is harmless. However, it is considered to be opportunistic and can cause damage if it enters the body through a skin injury

the mass-production of penicillin, new bacteria arose that could resist the antibiotic, thus posing a renewed threat to the world’s population. Ever since the establishment of antibiotics, new “superbugs” have appeared that for years have challenged scientists to keep up with specialized medications to defeat and prevent these intrusive foes. Although most scientists have been effective in their research, newer, and stronger strains of super bacteria continue to appear. Many experts have concluded

What Types of Bacteria are Found on Gas Pump Handles? BY: ANNIE LYONS Problem/Question: How much bacteria are on gas pump handles? Do the newer gas stations have less germs than the older ones? Do we need to sanitize our hands after we pump gas? Hypothesis: Gas pump handles contain bacteria that could cause harmful diseases. There will be a significant amount of staph bacteria on the handles. Control: Each gas pump handle will have

By: Richard Martinez MCB-2010L Microbiology Lab Dr. James Rogers 11/29/13 Unknown bacteria were determined to be Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus due to their morphological, physiological and metabolic properties. I. Abstract In a laboratory setting, it often becomes necessary to identify an unknown organism. In this experiment, researchers classified some unidentified bacteria based on their physical structure, colony morphology, optimal conditions and metabolic properties

HOW TO WRITE AN UNKNOWN LAB REPORT IN MICROBIOLOGY GENERAL Unknown reports in microbiology are written in scientific format. Scientific writing is written differently from other types of writing. The results of the exercise or experiment are what are being showcased, not the writing. The purpose of scientific writing is not to entertain, but to inform. The writing should be simple and easy to understand. There is a specific style that must be followed when writing scientific reports. Scientific writing
