The purpose of this experiment was to determine the type of Staphylococcus (commonly referred to as Staph) that was isolated from the nose by performing a series of tests. Staph is a bacteria that is very often the cause of skin, stomach and blood infections. It is commonly found on the skin, but is easily disinfected with antiseptics or even soap and water. It is normally dealt with by the body's immune system pretty easily, and as such is very hard to catch directly from another infected person

Staphylococcus aureus, (S aureus) or ‘Golden Staph’ as it is more commonly as, is a bacteria that is generally harmless to humans. This fact is true with the exception of when it’s host is weakened by disease and or traumatic injury in which case it can prove fatal. Genetic variation and mutation of the bacteria has been likened to the Darwinist theory of Evolution. Treatment of the Staphylococcus bacteria has become increasingly more complex over time. The genetic evolution of this bacteria has
Staphylococcus Aureus ANP-1120-C Staphylococcus is a group of bacteria that can cause a number of diseases as a result of infection of various tissues of the body. Staphylococcus is more familiarly known as Staph. Staph-related illness can range from mild and requiring no treatment to severe and potentially fatal. The name Staphylococcus comes from the Greek staphyle, meaning a bunch of grapes, and kokkos, meaning berry, and that is what Staph bacteria look like under the microscope, like a bunch
Use the best practices shared by your classmates and from the text to create a stress management plan in the following table that you can implement immediately. Refer to Ch. 16 of Your College Experience to identify at least three areas of stress in your life. List these in the first column in the table below. In the second column, identify stress management best practices or techniques you can use to address the stressors you listed in the first column. Briefly indicate how you will use that
Staphylococcus is a group of bacteria that can cause multiple different diseases. Staphylococcus is widely known as Staph (pronounced “staff”) and can infect various tissues of the body. The infection can cause disease due to direct infection or due to the production of toxins by the bacteria. Examples of the diseases are boils, impetigo, food poisoning, cellulitis, and toxic shock syndrome. The name Staphylococcus comes from Greek origin, the word staphyle, meaning a bunch of grapes, and kokkos
S. AUREUS Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive bacteria, which means that the cell wall of this bacteria consists of a very thick peptidoglycan layer. They form spherical colonies in clusters that resemble grapes, and have no flagella. Surface secretions include adhesions, endotoxins, exoenzymes, and capsular polysaccharides (VanMeter, VanMeter, & Hubert, 2010). Staphylococcus aureus reproduces by binary fission, a method of asexual reproduction. The molecule starts to divide itself and its
readily acquire pathogens after contact with contaminated hospital surfaces and can transfer these organisms to subsequently touched patients and inanimate surfaces. The acquisition of nosocomial pathogens by a patient and the resultant development of infection depend on a multifaceted interplay between the environment, a pathogen and a susceptible host. In her article, Ms. Arias discusses several epidemiologically important pathogens that are common causes of HAIs, in particular the role of noncritical
