Abstract: Gas Gangreneis a potentially deadly form of tissue death.The Clostridium species C.perfringens , C.septicum and C.histolyticum are the principal causative agent of the trauma associated gas gangrene and their incidence increases dramatically in times of war, hurricanes , earthquakes and other mass casualty condition
Calcium Deficiency in Cattle Australia is the world’s second largest producer of beef and live cattle. In the beef cattle industry there is various number of deficiencies that cattle can contract due to the climate, feed, soil and weather. One deficiency that can affect the extensive grazing industry is calcium deficiency in cattle. This deficiency can have massive effects on the industry because intensively fed cattle can get place the animal under stress resulting in a lethal toxin affecting the
introduces Dr. Max Niewdorp, a doctor whose 81-year-old patient happened to develop a bacterium called Clostridium difficile. Because of this, Nieuwdorp then decided to do a fecal transplant on the woman. In order to do this procedure, the doctor must have access to a donor’s feces. Once he has it, then the feces gets blended and squirt into the woman’s small intestine in order to flush out the Clostridium difficile. After the procedure was completed, she was cured. This new finding caused many patients
Background: Clostridium difficile is now the most commonly reported pathogen in U.S. healthcare facilities, causing 12% of all hospital acquired infections (HAI). Patients in long-term care facilities (LTCF) contribute significantly, with the carriage rate among residents approaching 50%. Both symptomatic and asymptomatic carriers contribute to new hospital infections. LTCF residents are often placed on Fecal Management Systems (FMS) at the onset of diarrhea. Although research suggests a strong link
chosen is Food Poisoning Bacteria. It is hoped to attain a better understanding of food poisoning bacteria by paying close attention to the five most commonly known food poisoning bacteria which are Salmonella, Listeria, E Coli 0157, Clostridium Botulinum and Clostridium Perfingens. A greater insight will be given into each of these bacteria individually. The areas covered in this report will be the characteristics and symptoms of each food poisoning bacteria, the sources in which these bacteria grow
the gastrointestinal tract to produce the disease. Most microbial food poisonings come in this category. For example, salmonelloses caused by Salmonella sp. like Salmonella typhi. In certain other types of food poisoning, as in the case of Clostridium perfringens, live cells need to be ingested for the disease to occur but the organism does not grow and reproduce in the gut. Vegetative cells sporulate after ingestion and enterotoxin is released in turn causing the disease symptoms. Since live cells
BACTERIAL GROWTH Growth of Bacteria is the orderly increase of all the chemical constituents of the bacteria. Multiplication is the result of growth. Death of bacteria is the irreversible loss of ability to reproduce. Bacteria are composed of carbohydrates , proteins, water, lipids and trace elements. Factors effect on bacterial Growth : (1) Environmental factors affecting growth, and (2) Sources of metabolic energy. Classification of Bacteria 1-According to shape: Bacteria are generally classified
They pose a risk to public health, especially when added to meals without further treatments [5]. Of particular significance are the Bacillus cereus and Clostridium perfringens species, which are spore forming bacteria. These spores are found to occur ubiquitously in the soil environment and often requires harsher conditions to inactivate their properties. If introduced into a more complex food matrix, the germination
