Several systems, such as anaerobic pouches, boxes, jars and chambers provide suitable anaerobic culture conditions to isolate even strict anaerobic bacteria successfully from clinical specimens. Beside the classical, time consuming identification methods and automated biochemical tests, the matrix-assisted ...
Most of these uses, as well as dozens of others, follow a common theme -- the black lights make the invisible visible or isolate one specific substance from everything around it. When you think about it, there are dozens of situations where you could put this phenomenon to work. The appl...
*Oxygenated water helps long after soap, alcohol and chlorine, because peroxide dissolves the virus protein, but you have to use it pure and it hurts your skin. *NO BACTERICIDE SERVES. The virus is not a living organism like bacteria; *you cannot kill what is not alive with antibiotics.*...
Distilling water offers several benefits, making it a valuable process for various purposes: Removal of contaminants: Distillation effectively removes impurities, including bacteria, viruses, heavy metals and chemicals, from the water. However, while distillation is very effective, it does not remove cer...
Restriction enzymes recognize short DNA sequences and cleave double-stranded DNA at specific sites within or adjacent to these sequences. Approximately 3,000 restriction enzymes, recognizing over 230 different DNA sequences, have been discovered. They have been found mostly in bacteria, but have also...
The abnormal growth of bacteria in the lining of the bladder can lead to a condition called cystitis or a bladder infection. These infections are characterized by pelvic pain, pain with urination, and the increased urge to urinate; the symptoms usually come on quite suddenly and are the result...
Another theory, which has been applied to Helicobacter pylori infections in gastric cancers, suggests a hit-and-run action of tumor-initiating bacteria, whereby the pro-oncogenic action of the bacterial toxin CagA leads to genetic and epigenetic alterations [161]. This suggests that potentially ...
flora in their intestines.[6]Those who are overweight may have particular bacteria strains that extract more calories from food compared to those found in people who are not overweight. This means you could be eating the same amount of food as your friends, yet gaining more weight from it!
or UTI. A UTI is caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract. It causes inflammation of the urethra and bladder, causing pelvic pain and a burning sensation when you pee. It can also cause you to feel like you have to pee more often than you actually do, and can even lead to incont...
