Essays on Bacteria

For more than 50 years, the human society routinely used antimicrobials for treatment and prophylaxis of infectious diseases caused by pathogenic microorganism. Although Antibiotics have saved large number of lives and an essential part of modern medicine, they have been responsible for evolutionary stress on…

Bacteriophages or phages therapy is one of the promising methods used for the management of bacterial infections. Phages are bacterial viruses that can kill the bacteria or ‘bacterium eaters’. Phage therapy undertaken by the use of Phages for the management or prophylaxis of a specific…

Three E. coli BL21 bacteria cultures containing GST, GST-ICP0, and 6xHis-USP7 proteins in Erlenmeyer flasks were prepared prior to the beginning of lab day 1. On lab day 1, the three bacteria cultures were collected and 1mL of each were transferred into plastic cuvettes. The…

Enteric fever, caused by the bacterium Salmonella enterica serovars Typhi and Paratyphi, has a long history and effect on human lives. Chronicled records show us an incredible arrangement about typhoid fever—the high sickness load and lethal results of the infection; the real courses of transmission;…

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the WHO probiotics defined as the use of non‐pathogenic live microorganisms in adequate amounts to give a health benefit to the host. These effects include the balancing and restoration of intestinal normal flora,…

Recent studies have demonstrated phage therapy successfully treated infections caused by resistant bacteria species. Phages were effective for the elimination of food poisoning pathogenic bacteria such as Campylobacter jejuni, Listeria monocytogenes, and Salmonella spp. In 2006, FDA approved the use of combination of six phages…

Toxins are antigens secreted by microbes to act on the host tissue and can stimulate specific antibodies called antitoxins. Antimicrobial monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) synthesized by the host against microbial cell surface targets and soluble exotoxins. Its mode of action depends on the nature of the…

Microorganisms can be grown in an artificial environment, such as a laboratory. The small organisms need nutrients to survive, this is provided to them by the culture media. This essay will focus on chocolate agar and pneumacult media. Chocolate agar is a type of enrichment…

This study on antimicrobial activity is carried out by screening for the soil fungi Fusarium sp. and investigating its antibacterial activity against Bacillus sp. and Staphylococcus aureus. The research was performed through soil sample dilution and various plate culture methods to detect fungal behavior against…

Introduction Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when a particular microbe, such as bacteria or a virus, develop an immunity to one or more antimicrobials, becoming superbugs. These include antibiotics, antiviral medication and antifungal medication. This emerging issue is causing large amounts of concern in the medical…
