in nature, the bacteria can transfer these plasmids from bacteria to bacteria, transfering those beneficial genes. this mechanism allows bacteria to adapt to new and foreign environments. the continuous resistance of bacteria to antibiotics is due to the transmission of these plasmids. Bio-Rads unique pGLO plasmid encodes the gene for GFP and a gene for resistance the antibiotic ampicillin. pGLO can also control the gene expression of this fluorecent protein.
The sexually transmissible disease gonorrhea has become increasingly resistant to treatment with antibiotics. What is the most likely scientific explanation? a) The gonorrhea bacteria learned to avoid antibiotics b) The gonorrhea bacteria changed their genes when they sensed antibiotics c) Antibiotic-sensitive gonorrhea bacteria died out, but antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea bacteria have flourished and persisted d) The antibiotic increased the mutation rate in the gonorrhea bacteria e) Both b and d 26. Which statement best describes the relationship between plants and animals on earth? a) Plants produce O2 and sugars from CO2 b) Animals produce CO2 and H2O from sugars and O2 c) Plants produce O2 and sugars and animals produce CO2 and H2O d) Animals produce O2 and sugars and plants produce CO2 and H2 27.
Fay Chambers Unit 4223-008 Causes and spread of infection Bacteria are single celled organisms; they are among the most successful life forms on Earth and can survive in all habitats. Some bacteria are good for us. ‘Friendly’ bacteria for example help us to digest food, whilst other forms of bacteria can cause serious illness. The kinds of bacteria that cause infection are called pathogenic bacteria. Many bacterial infections can be treated with antibiotics although some strains are now becoming resistant.
Consumers are those who obtain much benefit with the improvement of food and drug. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. It is responsible for protecting and promoting public health through the regulation and supervision guidelines, from the safety of food and pharmaceutical products to cosmetics and electromagnetic radiation emitting devices. The FDA currently has regulatory oversight toward a large number of products that affect the health of the general consumers. Changes should be made to the Food and Drug Administration regulatory process, especially on the excessive use of antibiotics in livestock.
In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of Science 9 Submitted by: Macam, Victoria Liz C. Escabarte, Chrystine Hace A. Navarro, Carl Louie T. Abstract: The researchers came up with the problem, “Can vitamins affect the growth of plants?” Many investigations were made regarding this problem yet the researchers wanted to clarify everything and tested the effectiveness of the vitamins with their own eyes. The researchers arrived with this problem because they wanted to know if there is a difference between organic and inorganic fertilizer and human vitamins. Lastly, the researchers wanted to help the farmers in providing a safer and more effective way of having healthy plants. Vitamins are important for the growth of plants. Based on other investigations, vitamins which are made up of organic compounds can help plants grow by providing them with essential nutrients.
What kinds of clinical specimens may yield a mixed flora in bacterial cultures? Oral, Skin, or GI specimens 5. When more than one colony type appears in pure culture, what are the most likely sources of extraneous contamination? Individual colonies can be picked up on the inoculating loop, or straight wire and inoculated in to the fresh agar or brother media References Cowan, M. K. (2012). MICROBIOLOGY: A SYSTEMS APPROACH, THIRD EDITION.
The result that garlic has an inhibitory effect on E. coli supports the original hypothesis. Key Terms: bacteria, E. coli, allicin, antimicrobial, garlic Introduction and Review of Literature This project was conducted in order to learn about the effect of garlic on fighting Escherichia coli (E. coli). The testable question was “What is the effect of garlic on E. coli?” E. coli is a bacterium. Bacteria are
What is the benefit of the modification? Because the GM tomatoes can remain fresh longer they have time to ripen in the sun before picking, resulting in a better tasting tomato! 4. Three advantages of genetically modified foods Longer lasting foods can be more easily transported, Having extra vitamins in food help poor people from becoming malnourished or going blind, and the insecticides inside some genetically modified plants keep farmers from having to spray the whole place down with toxic wastes, and they also 5. A counter argument to one of the disadvantages of genetically modified food Some antibiotics can be transferred to humans and make it harder for us to fight infections, genetically modifying foods could potentially put farmers out of work, and some important insects could be at risk because of the insecticides in foods.
It stated in its report that, humane treatment of livestock is good for both animal and good for business. This report gave an approach towards farms animals handling. It recognizes that since the early 1990s, the meat industry standardized the benefits of a proactive approach to animal handling. In its reports, it indicated that a professor of animal science at Colorado State University, Professor Temple Graddin, a leading animal welfare expert, proclaimed a research study which shows that animal welfare could be improved in the plant setting by trying to work with an animals’ natural instincts, rather than working against them. In this research study, Dr. Gradin also reaffirmed that animals are naturally inquisitive.
Cationic peptides are the first to be discovered and are widely found in plants and animals. Anionic peptides are a smaller group of molecules which show antimicrobial action and have been up until now only isolated from mammals. Prokaryote antimicrobial peptides are produced by bacterial cells.The most important active-membrane peptides among them are created by gram-positive bacteria and are identified as bacteriocins6. Antimicrobial Peptides in the Pharmaceutical Industry Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a threat to the health of the population of the planet. AMR is present in all continents of the world and as new resistance mechanism emerge they spread across the world.
