Genetic Engineering - Genetic Engineering is the use of various methods to manipulate the DNA of cells to change hereditary traits or produce biological products. It is a manipulation of genes that allows scientists to put genes from one organism into another organism. Plants - You may not realize it, but plants are a big part of Genetic Engineering. Farmers use many techniques to insert genes from different organism around the world to help increase crop yield and to boost up proteins inside

Healthcare Associated Pneumonia vs Non Healthcare Associated Pneumonia Many germs can cause pneumonia. The most common are bacteria and viruses in the air we breathe. The human body usually prevents these germs from infecting your lungs, but sometimes these germs can overpower the person’s immune system, even if the person’s health is generally good. Pneumonia is classified according to the types of germs that cause it and where you got the infection (Staff, 2015). Pneumonia can be acquired

Antibiotics are influential in the stopping of bacteria and other infections. The real question though is if they are more harmful then they are good? This essay will focus on whether or not antibiotics affect the human microbiome, how does the human microbiome respond to antibiotics and how does it respond when a person stops taking antibiotics. Firstly, antibiotics do affect the human microbiome very heavily. In today’s medical system antibiotics are the first option when trying to fight dangerous

forth allowing the cell to move. Plasmid is found in bacteria. They need a host to live of. It is a clone of the bacteria’s DNA. It typically provided the bacteria with genetic advantages, such as antibiotic resistance. Plasmid can be passed to other cells through a process called conjugation. Plasmid can be cloned into daughter cells thousands of times, making it easy to spread the bacteria’s DNA. Plasmid is not said to be live just like a viruses. Plasmid is very important if come type of organism

Zainab karimu Unit 37 P4 I will be explaining active and passive artificially acquired immunity in form of a table. Immunity is the protection of the body from infections from viruses and bacteria. Acquired immunity is a type of immunity also known as the third line of defence, it is the immunity produced when the human body has been infected by an antigen which triggers the production of antibodies. There are two types of acquired immunity which are active and passive acquired immunity

much like cocci. Escherichia, or E. coli, is a rod shaped bacteria. There are many strains of E. coli and many are not harmful to humans and animals. There are some, however, that will cause illness in the form of gastrointestinal distress. There is often vomiting and diarrhea. The last, Mycoplasma, are very small with no cell walls. They are the smallest known bacteria and when first discovered they were mistaken for viruses because of their small size. Despite their small size, they can

useful in water purification because the small molecule contaminates are passively absorbed by the nanoparticles. This discovery is superior to current water purification systems in place like ultraviolet radiation (UV) that is sufficient to kill bacteria however, more absorption occurs on small nanoparticles (Fletcher, 2015). However, nanoparticles can only be used to filter surface and groundwater because cations in saltwater tend to make the particles bind together, losing the effectiveness of

CS#13 You work in a small family practice in rural Virginia, (much better than Texas!). A man in his early 50s comes in with a complaint of intermittent fever (102-103 F) and headache for the past two weeks. The physician examines him and takes a history. The only clinical finding is a wound about the size of a quarter on his right thumb. Axillary lymph nodes are swollen and tender. The man says he cut himself while skinning a rabbit three days ago. On the basis of these observations the
