Hello and welcome to Goodnight America! Today we are going over a controversial bacterium that Americans are talking about. This particular bacteria is called Lactobacillus. If, you are just hearing about this organism allow Dr. James to explain what Lactobacillus is. “ This particular bacteria is friendly and doesn 't cause diseases. Lactobacillus can be found in some foods like yogurt and dietary supplements. Lactobacillus is usually taken by mouth to treat and prevent diarrhea. Some people may take lactobacillus for digestion problems, irritable bowel syndrome, urinary tract infections, cystic fibrosis, and many more!” “ Wow Doctor i never knew these bacteria was actually good!” Okay folks now we are going to answer a few
Major Quest Outline Name: Madison Underwood Thesis: Bacteria is becoming resistant to antibiotics and will eventually cause an apocalypse. Body: I. Understanding antibiotic resistance is vital in understanding the argument. A.
Fleming’s penicillin alone has saved an estimated 200 million lives (New World Encyclopedia Contributors 2013). Not only would antibiotics combat 50 percent of common illness threatening seamen, but also would prevent any potential bacterial infections brought on by environmental ailments like carbon dioxide poisoning, scurvy, and malnutrition. Though antibiotics are not a safeguard against any contractible sickness, they are an explicit defense against bacterial infections, which were the most common form of infection among
Cornhole is fast becoming a tradition for many family get-togethers and tailgate parties and while many other people, friends and family members, may already know a lot of the terminology that goes along with the cornhole game, you may find yourself at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to keeping up. You don't have to continue to guess at what they're talking about or have to feel stupid for asking about everything they say. The following terms are the most commonly associated with cornhole. Cow Pie (or Ace): This occurs when the bag lands on the board. This is worth one point.
The putrid smell of Escherichia coli is one that is immediately identifiable to the few lucky individuals who recognize its scent. It is also an aroma with which I became intimately sensitive to as I shuttled petri dishes of the bacterium in and out of an incubator. While my classmates shied away from the task of handling the pungent bacteria used in our recombinant DNA experiments, I took to the task eagerly, anything that would take me one step closer to my goal of researching. I had the opportunity to learn about lab techniques and cutting edge biology concepts the summer before my junior year, in an extracurricular biotechnology class at Northwestern University’s Center for Talent Development. The class, a three week crash course in the
Tuberculosis, Have you ever heard about this Word/term before? I guess your answer is yes . Since the early ages TB had infected many people and caused their death . IF you have never heard of it , here are some information about it . Certain Bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis attacks the lungs, hunting the infected person’s life, but not only that but it raises its hand to attack another people’s lives including your closest people ; your family , friends and your society .
The following was eliminated because they are gram positive: Bacillus cereus, Bacillus circulans, Bacillus coagulans, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus thuringiensis, Brevibacillus brevis, Geobacillus stereothermophilus, Lysinibacillus sphaericus, Clostridium perfringens, Corynebacterium pseudodiphtheriticum, Listeria monocytogenes, Lactobacillus casei, Enterococcus faecalis (Streptococcus), Streptococcus lactis (Lactococcus), Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus pneumonia, Micrococcus (Kocuria) roseus, Sarcina lutea (Micrococcus luteus), Sporosarcina ureae, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, and Rhodococcus rhodochorous. The remaining microbes are gram negative: Alcaligenes faecalis, Rhizobium radiobacter, Salmonella typi, Serratia marcescens, Shigella flexneri, Yersina pseudotuberculosis, Erwina persicinus, Serratia liquifacens, Halobacter salinarium, Enterobacter aerogenes, Eschirichia coli, Flavobacter capsulatum,
I decided to learn more about Louis Pasteur. He was more amazing then I first thought. His scientific mind was brilliant. His ability to make connections between seemingly unrelated and unpopular concepts changed medicine, led to what is now microbiology, and vaccinations. More than 100 years after Louis Pasteur’s discoveries, we can still appreciated the impact he made.
Lactose intolerance, also known as milk intolerance, is the inability to fully digest the sugar, lactose, in milk. There are more than three million cases in the U.S. per year. As a result, they have diarrhea, gas and bloating after eating or drinking dairy products. A deficiency of lactase, an enzyme produced in your small intestine, is usually responsible for lactose intolerance. Many people claim to be lactose intolerant.
The topic of probiotic effectiveness on AAD has been recognized as need to be researched. Recent studies have concluded that probiotics can have significant relative risk reductions of 44-47% for AAD (Ouwehand et al., 2013). AAD justified as a selected topic as the rise in antibiotic use is causing a rise in AAD and its adverse effects (Pattini et al., 2013). The topic of probiotic use with antibiotic administration is a daily discussion at interdisciplinary team meetings.
Nutrition Topic: Nutrition Organization: Topically Specific Purpose: To inform my audience the importance of proper nutrition I. INTRODUCTION A. Attention getter: Did you know that more than two thirds of adults are considered to be overweight or obese in the United States? If obesity rates stay consistent, about 51% of the population by the year 2030 will be obese.
Lactobacillus spp. , Bifidobacterium spp.) are beneficial intestinal bacteria added to animal feed. They prevent harmful organisms from colonizing the GIT and improve feed utilization (Maré, 2009). In cattle, they help to create an anaerobic environment, competing with lactic acid producing bacteria and increasing nutrient absorption (due to an increased volatile fatty acid production) (1). Competition with pathogens for colonization sites and nutrient sources is another advantage (1).Prebiotics (e.g. oligofructose, fructooligosaccharides, inulin) are nutrients that promote the growth of beneficial microorganisms in the GIT and are indigestible to the animal (Maré, 2009).
Have you ever seen different types of fungus before? I am going to share with you a type of fungus that you might have not heard about before. The fungus that I will be telling you about is microsporidia. Microsporidia is gram negative and found in many living things. Microsporidia is harmful to many living species.
INTRODUCTION: Quick look at your hands do you see them. (attention) Do I see what you might be asking? Well the millions of bacteria that are currently hanging out on your hands.
These are the “good” bacteria or probiotics that create the yogurt and promote your health when you consume the yogurt. Some of them will stay to inhabit your gut, aid in digestion and keep the bad guys away (even when bad bacteria present in the food you eat). Anyway, you need to get them somehow into the milk to make yogurt. How?
These bacteria found from fermented dairy products are subject to their survival during production and storage. The use of probiotic bacteria is increasing in food and pharmaceutical applications. The disturbed intestinal microflora and other dysfunction of the human G.I tract can be balanced by probiotics use. Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium spp. have found to be beneficial probiotic organisms that provide outstanding therapeutic benefits.
