Can flagella be pathogenic?
Flagella is a part of the cell which allows the cell to move. Bacteria which have flagella are not always pathogenic. Some, like Heliobacter pylori have a flagella and cause stomach ulcers in some patients. Thus, a flagella is not an indication of pathogenicity.
What are some methods that humans use to fight pathogenic bacteria?
Methods used by humans to fight pathogenic bacteria include hygiene (handwashing, water and sewage hygiene), isolation (sick patients stay home), vaccination, protective equipment (gloves/masks), and medication. Internal biological methods include the nonspecific barriers (acid mantle of the skin, mucous of the nasal membranes) and specific immunity (antibodies).
What disease does the bacterium Sarcina lutea cause?
The bacterium Sarcina lutea is found in various parts of the body and is one of the causes of body odor. While this bacteria is commonly non-pathogenic, it has been known to cause skin infections in those with weak immune systems, such as HIV patients. It does not cause a particular disease, that I am aware of.

What is strep throats life process as a bacterium?
Some people are chronic carriers of beta haemolyticus streptococci in there throat. They transmit the infection by airborne route to others mostly. Some infections are spread by the patients with acute infections also.
What purpose do doctor uniforms have?

Why is patients white blood count high in blood but normal in marrow?
It is due to the fact that patient is suffering from infectious disease generally the condition of high WBC in blood and normal in bone marrow happens in primary infection of any pathogenic microorganism
How dangerous is enterobacter amnigenus?
Enterobacter amnigenus is a type of bacteria from the family Enterobacteriaceae. Many of the strains of this bacteria are pathogenic and can attack the respiratory and urinary systems. Enterobacter amnigenus is fairly dangerous to patients with a compromised immune system but it can be treated with a course of antibiotics.
Why does TJC differentiate between critical access hospitals (CAHs) and regular hospitals?
D. CAHs are smaller and only keep patients for up to four days, making their safety considerations more limited than hospitals
Why do we have rheumatic fever?
This is very good question! You get throat infection. There is a fever. It may be above 101 degree Fahrenheit. The age is usually between 5 to 15 years. Such throat infection may be due to beta haemolytic streptococci. You have to take the throat swab and get it cultured for the identification of the bacteria. You have to give ten days course of penicillin V tablets, three times a day. It will eliminate the streptococci. If this is not done, then the clinical signs and symptoms disappear, say with in three days time. Some of the patients become carrier of the bacteria. Proportionate patients get fever and joint pains after three weeks. The throat swab is invariably positive for the streptococci. The antibody titre called as ASO titre is raised. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is increased to high level. You have the antibodies against the bacteria, that attack the similar looking connective tissue fibres of the joints and the valves of the heart. This disease give you very important insight in so called autoimmune diseases. Which are probably caused by the chronic bacterial infections. Usually in teeth.
