The pathogen of salmonellosis is Enterobacteriaceae and Gram-negative bacilli. It comprise two species: S. enterica, which is subdivided into over 2,000 serovars, and S. bongori. Also, based on genetic similarity and host range, the species has been divided into six subspecies: enterica (Group 1), salamae…

In present study, all selected carps (H. nobilis, C. idella and C. carpio) secreted huge amount of mucus. Also mucus secretion varied among selected fish species. Blackstock and Pickering (1982); Negus (1983) and Nigam, Kumari, Mittal and Mittal (2012) also reported the similar results. This…

Sea food is one of a the main sources of low calorie animal protein and a source of nutrients and minerals. However, sea food can accumulate contaminates from the environment and food. These contaminants may be pathogenic bacteria or heavy metals. The studies indicate the…

If you are unfamiliar with the ‘CRISPR-Cas9’ system, it is the revolutionary technique discovered in bacteria (E. Coli) which they use to defend themselves against invading viruses. It works by the specific targeting of viral DNA and cleaves at determined locations, previously invading viral pathogens…

Acidithiobacillus strains SP5/1 and HV2/2 are rod-shaped, Gram-negative, γ-proteobacterium, aerobically pyrite-oxidizing and Acidophilic bacteria that thrives optimally at 30°C and 45°C respectively. S-layer molecular structure similarity in symmetry in the closely related species can be used as a taxonomic characteristic that distinguishes phylogenetic position of…

Meningitis can affect people of all ages; however, infants at 6-18 months of age are at an increased risk for developing bacterial meningitis. Elderly people are also at risk due to their decline in immune functions, as well as people with illnesses which affects their…

The purpose of these experiments is to view bacterial cells under a microscope by staining the cells and accommodating their characteristics with the stains used as different bacteria cells have different characteristics, depending on the environment in which they are exposed in. Experiment 4 covers…

In acute care and long term care, people are vulnerable to new and potent bacterial strains that resist our most powerful antibiotics. The antibiotic penicillin was a great discovery by Alexander Fleming and at the time it was being hailed as a magic bullet. Fleming…

Human beings are closely related to the earth and all its components, which includes the flora, fauna, from the largest of beings to the smallest of creature. While we can experience our association with the seemingly visible world, surely we can’t ignore the role of…
