more commonly, bacterial flagella have no membranous sheath. However, when grown on solid agar it develops additional unsheathed flagella that give it the motive power to crawl over the agar in a phenomenon called swarming.Above: the structure of a Gram negative bacterial cell.Left...
· Salmonella: One of the bacteria that causes food poisoning, found in eggs, meat and vegetables, which ultraviolet light can destroy by damaging its DNA. · Helicobacter pylori: A bacteria that causes stomach ulcers and stomach cancer, UVC can kill this bacteria on the surface, reducing the ...

The most typical pathogens causing septicemia, or blood poisoning, are these bacteria. Bacteria getting into your bloodstream causes an infection to...
Microscopic unicellular organisms that commonly reproduce by cell division (fission) and contained within a cell wall. They are a natural component of the human body, particularly on the skin, mouth and intestinal tract. Many are beneficial to the environment and living organisms, but some are the...
A related bacterium, Clostridium botulinum , releases a toxin that causes the most severe form of food poisoning, botulism. Some forms of dangerous bacteria live on the human skin, but cause no harm unless they are able to enter the blood stream through a break in the skin. Among these ...
It also causes toxic shock syndrome (TSS). Another facultative anaerobe is Escherichia coli, which contains many helpful strains of bacteria as well as some damaging ones, such as those that cause food poisoning. Anaerobic Infections Many anaerobes infect open wounds, diabetic skin ulcers, bites, ...
It is commonly believed that the presence of bacteria creates an immense danger, but this belief is far from the truth. The fact is that a very small percentage of bacteria can place us in any danger, and most of us with a healthy immune system are able to fight them off. Pathogenic ...
25 It is commonly implicated in infections of skin and soft tissues, postoperative surgical sites, bone and joint, diabetic foot, and the urinary tract, and causes septicemia and endocarditis. At present, there is a high prevalence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) ...
Nosocomial infections are the result of Staphylococcus aureus infection whileas food poisoning is caused by the Bacillus subtilis [7,8]. Pseudomonas aeruginosa leads to urinary tract infections [9] and Escherichia coli causes diarrhea, food poisoning and sepsis [[10], [11], [12], [13]]. Pi...
