between Bacteria, Viruses, Fungi and parasites. The common characteristics of bacteria: Bacteria are microscopic single-cell organisms. Different types of bacteria can be identified by their size and shape. Bacteria can multiply outside the body. Most bacteria need moisture, time, warmth and nutrients to survive and multiply. Some bacteria are helpful. Some bacteria produce toxins which cause unpleasant symptoms. Most bacteria can be treated with antibiotics. Some bacteria are resistant

1. What were the historical scientific breakthroughs that led to our current understanding of viruses, viroids, and prions? Researchers discovered viruses by studying a plant disease. The discovery of viruses resulted from the search for the infectious agent causing tobacco mosaic disease. In 1935, Wendell Stanley isolated tobacco mosaic virus, making it possible to carry out chemical and structural studies on a purified virus. Viroids are infectious pieces of RNA that cause some place diases

Ciprofaxacin stops the protein synthesis, stops the recoiling, it is a g+ bacteria & allows the antibiotic in to kill bacteria bc of the peptidoglycan layer permeability. This antibiotic has some side effects to the host bc of the cell wall damage, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea & rash are the most common. Erythromycin is a antibiotic that is used for the g- bacteria & binds to the front of Asite of 50S subunit of ribosome of susceptible bacteria & suppresses protein synthesis. This is due to the role of the ribosomes

about 15% of the population Bacteria (i/bækˈtɪəriə/; singular: bacterium) constitute a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. Typically a fewmicrometres in length, bacteria have a number of shapes, ranging from spheres to rods and spirals. Bacteria were among the first life forms to appear on Earth, and are present in most habitats on the planet. Bacteria inhabit soil, water, acidic hot springs,radioactive waste,[2] and the deep portions of Earth's crust. Bacteria also live in plants and animals

INTRODUCTION Infection remains the main cause of morbidity and mortality in man, particularly in developing areas where it is associated with poverty and overcrowding.In the developed world increasing prosperity, universal immunization and antibiotics have reduced the prevalence of infectious disease. However, antibiotic-resistant strains of microorganisms and diseases such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease ,avian influenza and severe acute respiratory

Classification of viruses Student name Course Institution Instructor Date due Classification of Viruses Most things living things in our world are classified into five different categories. Scientist, biologist and academics do this so they know the exact organism that is being examined and discussed. The five kingdoms of life are identified as: plant, fungi, animal, moneran and fungus. Although, in my research

in which viruses are like organisms is that they are able to multiply. • Although viruses can multiply, they do so differently than organisms. Viruses can multiply only when they are inside a living cell. • The organism that a virus enters and multiplies inside is called a host. • A host is an organism that provides a source of energy for a virus or another organism. • A virus acts like a parasite, an organism that lives on or in a host and causes it harm. • Almost all viruses destroy the
