Facts about Staphylococcus

-
1.Morphology of Staphylococcus
     
                     Gram positive,spherical,non motile,not acid fast,non spore forming bacteria                                                 



2.Staphylococcus aureas is facultative anaerobic.It can be growes at 37 Deg celcius                                    

3.S.aureas produces yellow color colonies with yellow zone in MANNITOL SALT AGAR(selective media) by ferment the mannitol.It can be indicated by red color of phenol in agar changes into yello Baird parker agar,PURPLE AGAR(differential diagnosis) also be used.                                  

4..Haemolytic on blood agar =Double haemoysis  due to alpha and beta toxins.                                     Alpha toxin produces narrow zone of complete haemolysis  and beta  toxin produces wide zone of incomplete haemolysis                                                                                                                      
5.Incomplete haemolysis will be completed at 4 Deg  celcius.This is known as hot cold lysis                   phenomenon                                                                                                                                            
6.Alpha toxin or Alpha haemolysin causes Gangrenous mastitis. other toxins are Entero toxins(food         poisoning) ,TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME TOXIN-1,EXFOLIATIVE TOXINS A and B  &Staph       Salded Skin Syndrome toxin(epidermolytic toxin a and b of S.aureus)                                                                                                                    

7.Pathogenesis                                                                                                                                       
  1. Gangrenous mastitis(blue bag condition),udder impetigo                                                            
  2. GREESY PIG DISEASE(exudative epidermatitis) is due S.hyicus                                             
  3. Otitis  externa in dog                                                                                                                    
  4. BUMBLE FOOT IN POULTRY is due to S.aureas
  5. BOTYROMYCOSIS(Chronic granulomatus condition) in HORSE                                       
8.Diagnosis                                                                                                                                        
  • Isolation and Identification of bacteria    
  • Identification of toxins
  • PHAGE TYPING                   
9.TREATMENT                                                                                            
  • S,aureas is resistance to Penicillin.Because They expressed a β-lactamase that hydrolysed the critical β-lactam bond and destroyed the drug's antibacterial activity. so VANCOMYSIN IS recommended
  • Synthetic penicillins such as METHICIILLIN  and OXACILLIN.

Oxygen can Killing us slowly!!!

 Hey my friend , be relax ,close your eyes for a moment and FOCUS ON your BREATHING. Breathe deeply. Then release the air from your lung .Do it many times .Of course It feels great .so oxygen brings life .97 % of the oxygen do this miracle for us  and used to produce energy. .BUT remaining 3 % of the ( hungry) Oxygen having Dark side and produce free radicals.           These free radicals can eat our body cells day by day....showing symptoms when we get old. LIVING TOO SHORT;DYING TOO LONG Scientific research shows that these free radical damage is the underlying causes of almost every chronic degenerative diseases known as diabetes ,cancer, macular degeneration and arthritis. If it is in your eyes ,you could develop cataracts or if it is in your blood vessels, you could have a heart attack or If it is in your joints ,it could develop arthritis.             Causes of free radical damage is           NOT TAKING ENOUGH ANTIOXIDANTs          excessive stress ,fast foods ,smoking cigeret

Insulin Injection

Insulin Injection Sites: Where and How to Inject Overview   Insulin is a hormone that helps cells use glucose (sugar) for energy. It works as a “key,” allowing the sugar to go from the blood and into the cell. In type 1 diapetes, the body doesn’t make insulin. In type 2 diabetes, the body doesn’t use insulin correctly, which can lead to the pancreas not being able to produce enough — or any, depending on the progression of the disease —insulin to meet your body’s needs. Insulin injection methods There are different ways to take insulin, including syringes,  insulin pens ,  insulin pumps , and  jet injectors . How to inject insulin

Why heavier objects do NOT fall faster than lighter objects?

    How fast something falls due to gravity is determined by a number known as the "acceleration of gravity", which is 9.81 m/s^2 at the surface of our Earth. Basically this means that in one second, any object's downward velocity will increase by 9.81 m/s because of gravity. This is just the way gravity works - it accelerates everything at exactly the same rate. What you may be getting confused by is the fact that the force of gravity is stronger on heavier objects than lighter ones. Another way of thinking of this is to say that gravity has to pull harder on a heavy object than a light one in order to speed them both up by the same amount. However, in the real world, we have things like air resistance, which is why sometimes heavy things do fall faster. For example, if you drop a feather and you drop a rock, the rock will land first since the feather is slowed down more by the air. If you did the same thing somewhere where there is no air, the feather and the roc
