What else can I help you with?
Does the bacteria tetanus need a host to survive?
No. The bacterium Clostridium tetani forms an endospore and can survive for long periods of time. When the endospore is introduced into a favorable environment it begins to metabolize.
How long does Clostridium difficile live outside the body?
Cholera organisms can live and remain infectious almost forever as long as they are in water. Boiling the water is the only sure way to kill them.
What is clostridium anthracis?
Clostridium anthracis is a bacterium that causes anthrax, a serious infectious disease primarily affecting livestock and occasionally humans. It can form spores that can survive in the environment for long periods of time, leading to the potential for outbreaks in animal populations or human exposure through contact with contaminated animal products. Anthrax can be treated with antibiotics if promptly diagnosed.
How can be bacterial food poisonings be prevented?
There are many different bacterium. The method is to avoid them, and to retard their growth. Heat does not kill all bacterium. Some bacterium require a lack of oxygen (anaerobic), and other require oxygen (aerobic. Botulism poisoning comes from the clostridium botulinin. Clostridim Botulinin is an anaerobic bacterium. Freezing the bacterium will only preserve it. Exposure to air will kill it. People love garlic. So too does the bacterium. Do not store garlic under oil or water. Keep it exposed to air and sunlight. Some bacterium will grow in any environment. Salmonella typhi can not be controlled by O2. It causes typhoid fever.
How long are home canned pickled beets good for?
Pressure canning is the only safe method for home canning vegetables. Clostridium botulinum is the bacterium that causes botulism food poisoning in low-acid foods, such as vegetables. The bacterial spores are destroyed only when the vegetables are processed in a pressure canner at 240 degrees Fahrenheit (F) for the correct amount of time. Clostridium botulinum is the bacterium commonly found in vegetables and meats. It is harmless until it finds itself in a moist, low-acid, oxygen-free environment or a partial vacuum. Under these conditions, the bacterium can grow and produce toxins dangerous to people and animals. Do not process (low acid) vegetables using the boiling water bath because the botulinum bacteria can survive that method.
Can bacterium cause disease?
Yes of course it can . Bacterium is the plural of bacteria so yes it can cause disease but since bacteria reproduce lightening fast it wouldn't stay a bacterium for long
How many polio virus particles could multiply in a 1-mircomtere long bacterium?
zero.
Is a bacterium multi-cellular or unicellular?
unicellular, however sometimes they are associated in groups or long strings.
What is the definition of Bacteria Flagellum?
A flagellum is a long tail like structure that protrudes off the bacterium body.
Is a bacterial infection common to older adults in hospitals or long-term care facilities typically following the use of antibiotics that wipe out competing bacteria?
clostridium difficile
How long does the bacterium that causes cat-scratch disease stay in a cat's system?
The bacterium, which remains in a cat's bloodstream for several months after infection, seems to be harmless to most cats, and normally an infected cat will not display any symptoms.
How long can defrosted vacuum sealed beef be kept at room temperature?
It shouldn't be left at room temperature. The vacuum packaging sets up a perfect environment for Clostridium botulinum.
