In the first module, you will learn about the organisms that can infect us and make us sick: pathogens. We will first take a look at the various types of pathogens that exist, and then learn about what it means to be infectious, and what it means to cause disease. After that, we wi...
infections are parasites (tiny bugs) that live inside and/or outside of the body. Scabies, pubic lice, and certain types of vaginitis can be cured with prescriptions or over-the-counter medicines while intestinal parasites that present symptoms and trichomoniasis often requires the use of ...
Extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) is a type of MDR TB with resistance to isoniazid and rifampin, plus any fluoroquinolone and at least one of three injectable second-line drugs (i.e., amikacin, kanamycin, or capreomycin). Select treatment based on consult with an infectious disease spec...

What defense targets specific pathogens? What types of pathogens do killer T-cells kill? a. What is the role of the Immune System in defense during a microbial infection? b. What are the main differences between parasitic and fungal infections?
(Fig.4a–f). Except for the Australian east coast, invasive species risk hotspots showed distinct patterns for the three taxa. Amphibians and mammals were particularly threatened in different parts of the New World and Europe, while hotspots of risk for birds were found on islands (consistent ...
In addition to the prevention of inbreeding depression, the maintenance of genetic diversity safeguards species' resistance to pathogens, as well as their capacity to cope with environmental change. This manuscript reports on the status of currently available genetic information for nationally endangered ...
1. What are the Different Types of Antimicrobial Agents? Ans: Antimicrobial agents have been used in preventing diseases and infections which are caused by pathogens. There are many different kinds of commonly available antimicrobial drugs. They are listed as follows: ...
Roost’s most unique product is its connected battery. Designed for use in smoke detectors, this battery tells the user when it needs to be changed so that they don’t get those annoying chirps at three in the morning. The company also makes smart smoke alarms and water leak/freeze detecto...
Bacteria and viruses are different types of pathogens, organisms that can cause disease. Bacteria are larger than viruses and are capable of reproducing on their own. Viruses are much smaller than bacteria and cannot reproduce on their own. Instead, viruses reproduce by infecting a host and using...
