Introduction An antibiotic is one of wonderful and vital discoveries of 20th century which was first proposed by Selman Waksman. Although being astonishing discovery, the real wonder is rise of antibiotic resistance in communities, environment and hospitals with their extensive use. The outstanding microbe’s genetic capacities have gained a lot of benefit from overuse of antibiotics by human being which has let to exploitation of every resistance source of genes and every horizontal gene transmission

The pathogenicity of entomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae and Verticillium lecanii, was evaluated against the adult of vine mealybug ,Planococcus ficus (Signoret) under laboratory conditions by dipping bioassays. The results showed that the virulence of B. bassiana was higher than the virulence of M.anisopliae and V. lecanii. In case of B. bassiana isolate, the LC50 value was 6 × 104 conidia /ml while LT50 recorded 5.30 days at 5 × 107 conidia /ml. Results showed that

CHAPTER 1 1.1INTRODUCTION Leprosy is caused by mycobacterium called leprea. The Norwegian doctor amuer Hansen isolated the bacterium in 1875. Leprosy is also called hansen’s disease after him, although it is first human pathogenic bacterium causing disease in man, though it has not been cultured in laboratory (rees.r. 1939). A large number of people in this world are exposed to these dangerous diseases, some of the conditions are likely to harm the health and mental of the patients. The challenges

Only a few days after 9/11, several people fell victim to letters that were laced with anthrax. The alleged person, who was a prime suspect of releasing this bacteria was Dr. Bruce Edward Ivins; he committed suicide in 2008, so he was not able to and could not be prosecuted (Shane). I feel Dr. Bruce Ivins knew the people of the United States were already in panic because of the 911 attack, and he knew that lacing letter with anthrax would cause complete pandemonium in the United States. Anthrax

“Streptococcus Group A (GAS) is also called Streptococcus Pyogenes. This is a gram-positive coccus pathogen that causes a large variety of diseases” (Fieber & Kovarik 2014). Most GAS infections are mild such as Strep throat. Strep A is one of the most common pathogens that occur in humans. “Strep Throat is most common in children ages 5-15, although anyone can get it” (Strep Throat Medline Plus, n.d). “Strep Bacteria causes about 1/3 of all sore throats in children” (Health Research Funding, 2014)

Bacteria can be found in plants and animals, in all habitats, on all surfaces and even in our bodies. To investigate the type bacteria existing in different locations, we took a culture from the inside of a mouth and the surface of a tabletop and let the bacteria grow in agar plates for one week. Separate agar plates were prepared for each of the two locations that also contained a small amount of two different cleaning solutions, Lysol and Green disinfectants, to observe which product worked better
