Bacteria

Medical therapy for H. pylori infection consists of 10 days to 2 weeks of one or two effective antibiotics, such as amoxicillin, tetracycline (not to be used for children <12 yrs.), metronidazole, or clarithromycin, plus either ranitidine bismuth citrate, bismuth subsalicylate, or a proton pump inhibitor.

Honey, green tea, and olive oil can assist in fighting H. pylori infection.

Once the bacteria have been killed, use of probiotics can reduce the chance of reinfection.

No HIV is not bacteria or any other organism. HIV is a retrovirus. It infects the T helper cells of human, cause AIDS disease.

No, it is a virus.

No, it is not a virus.

No. Generally, bacteria are used to living in temperatures just at our body temperature and below. And, also above 40 degrees Fahrenheit. That is why your refrigerator should be below 40 and when you get sick your body produces a fever over 100 degrees, because bacteria don't like those two extremes.

Another interesting fact has to do with why your pet cat's or dog's mouth is cleaner than yours. They have a normal body temperature from 99.5 to 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit. In comparison, normal human body temperature ranges from 97.8 to 99.1 degrees Fahrenheit. So you could say, compared to us, they have a fever all the time. This is nature's way of helping predators kill off the bacteria in their food that would make us sick.

Bacteria are important for many reasons, including their role in breaking down organic matter, recycling nutrients in ecosystems, aiding in digestion in animals, and producing substances like antibiotics and vitamins. Some bacteria can also be used in biotechnology for processes like fermentation and bioremediation.

Helium dilution technique is a method used for measuring lung volumes such as total lung capacity and residual volume. It involves the subject breathing a known volume of helium gas from a spirometer, which then mixes with the gas in the lungs. By analyzing the change in helium concentration, lung volumes can be calculated.

The nucleus stores the cell's DNA and RNA. It is the central brain system of the cell. It basically runs the cell's primary processes.

It isn't the bad food that makes you sick but what bacteria is growing in it. It can be Botulinum which makes a toxin that is the most powerful neurotoxin known to date. Only one single molecule of it is needed to stop one neuron working.
1 gram of botulinum toxin would be enough to kill 14,000 people (if ingested), 1.25 million people if inhaled, or a staggering 8.3 million people if injected.

Yes, bacteria grows in coffee.

Different species of bacteria have different sensitivity to high temperatures. Fortunately practically all species of bacteria that can cause food poisoning are killed by temperatures less than 160F and most of the rest can be killed by the high pressure canning temperatures around 240F to 250F.

A few species of bacteria can actually survive and grow in the high pressure, high temperature (up to 600F), high radioactivity environment inside pressurized water nuclear reactors! Most of these species of bacteria feed on metal ions not organic material and can be a serious cause of corrosion and maintenance problems in such reactors.

Viruses (e.g. colds and flu), auto-immune diseases, and most forms of cancer are just a few examples of diseases that are not caused by bacteria.

Yes, the bacteria is both blind and deaf.

Perhaps by using Gram staining, you may find these in a hospital

*Neisseria (gram -)

N gonorrheae

N meningitidis

*Proteus (gram -)

Opportunistic UTI

*Pseudomonas (gram -)

Nosocomiel infections (acquired at a hospital)

Burn patients

*Salmonella (gram -)

Food poisoning

*Serratia (gram -)

Opportunistic UTI

Respiratory Infections

*Treponema (gram -)

T pallidum -syphilis

*Vibrio (gram -)

GI disease

Your body will sort this out naturally.

Endospores, or hibernating bacteria, can often survive heat levels well beyond the range of normal kitchen appliances.

• Methanobacteriaceae
• Micrococcaceae
• Micromonosporaceae
• Mycobacteriaceae
• Mycoplasmataceae
• Myxococcaceae

rRNA genes are actually conserved among species, they do not largely vary for each different strain or the subtypes of the same species! hence we are using rRNA sequences to identify the bacterium and place them on phylogenetic tree accordingly.

Yes, there is bacteria in prairies. A group of bacteria from phylum Verrucomicrobia seems to be especially abundant according to recent studies. There is still much to learn about the role of this bacteria.

Yes it occurs naturally in the human and animal gastrointestinal tract and mouth and Lactobacillus acidopholus is also part of vaginal microorganisms.

No. A toxin is what you are thinking about. Bacteria are microbes and some produce toxins and some do not.

E.coli belongs to Eubacteria that means true bacteria. They are the key players to digest the food we eat daily. We are more bacteria in our body than our cells combined.

No. Mold is a fungus, not a bacteria. You can get mycotoxin exposure to certain types of mold, which will make you very sick, and can even be fatal in high enough concentrations. However, you can only get bacterial meningitis from certain bacterial infections.

It depends on what the bacteria is. If it is a bacteria that infects humans, then a temperature of 36-38 degrees C. Some bacteria like cold temperatures and some will grow in hot springs.

bacteria use pilli as the sites of attachment.. these are hollow,non helical tube like structures.. but are smaller than flagella.. sex pilli are sites of attachment for the process of conjugation..
