I guess a heat-shocked protein would be a denatured protein. Proteins and enzymes function under certain conditions, like pH and temperature. When the temperature gets too high, the protein unfolds itself, or denatures. When it gets back to normal conditions, it will just re-fold right back like it was before.

Microorganisms are very harm full to us because some microorganisms are in the category of VIRUS like microorganisms which causes AIDS.Microorganisms are only seen by microscope.

Bacillus anthracis is considered a biological weapon due to its ability to form highly resistant spores that can be dispersed in the environment easily. When inhaled, ingested, or coming into contact with open wounds, these spores can cause severe, often fatal, anthrax infection. Additionally, the bacteria can be engineered to be more virulent and resistant to treatments, increasing its potential for use as a weapon.

The TB bacteria can survive for weeks to months in the environment, depending on factors such as temperature and humidity. In a person's respiratory system, the bacteria can survive and remain infectious for years if left untreated.

The term "influenza" originated in Italy and comes from the belief in medieval times that epidemics were caused by the influence of unfavorable astrological alignments. The Italian phrase "influenza di freddo" means "influence of the cold," linking the disease to cold weather. Over time, the term influenza became associated with the respiratory illness we now know as the flu.

Influenza and all the other viruses move by natural factors, not by making and using their own ATP's. For example, viruses move in your body through your lymph nodes, blood vessels, etc. Outside, they may be carried by other animal's fur, saliva, or by wind or water source.

The symptoms of brucellosis are similar to the flu. Fever, back pain and abdominal are general symptoms of brucellosis. Brucellosis is a bacterial infection that can be spread from animals to humans.

Yes, hantavirus can be contracted by inhaling dust contaminated with the urine, droppings, or saliva of infected rodents such as rats. It is important to take precautions when cleaning up areas where rodents may have been present to minimize the risk of exposure to hantavirus.

Yes, viral meningitis can sometimes progress to viral encephalitis. This occurs when the viral infection spreads from the meninges (protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord) to the brain itself, causing inflammation and potentially more severe symptoms. It is important to seek medical attention promptly if symptoms suggest progression to encephalitis.

Viruses are incapable of self-replication, therefore by definition all viruses are "pathogenic" i.e. they must invade a host cell in order to multiply and propagate themselves. However, not all viruses are pathogenic to humans - some will only infect plants or animals.

Although the organism's name includes the word "influenzae" it is not the same as the influenza virus. It is a bacterium and is treated the same as any bacterial infection with antibiotics. The taxonomy for haemophilus influenzae is:

Kingdom:Bacteria

Phylum: proteobacteria

Class: Gamma Proteobacteria

Order: Pasteurellales

Family: Pasteurellaceae

Genus: Haemophilus

Species: Haemophilus influenzae

No, i don't think so. Rabies is transmitted by saliva, so therefore you would have get bitten by the squirrel to get the virus, otherwise, i think your ok, but ask a doctor, just in case im wrong.

Dogs can get rabies through the bite of an infected animal, typically a wild animal like a bat, raccoon, skunk, or fox. The rabies virus is transmitted through the saliva of the infected animal and enters the dog's bloodstream through the bite wound. It is important to vaccinate dogs against rabies to prevent the disease.

No. Athlete's foot, or tinea pedis, is a fungal infection. Antibiotics treat bacterial infections. Fungus and bacteria are two completely different germs, so antibiotics won't work. Athlete's foot can be treated with over-the-counter anti-fungal sprays or creams.

In adults the first line treatment is Doxycycline (or erythromycin in pregnancy)

Amoxicillin is used in children.

Alternatives include many of the cephalosporins.

These are all antibiotic drugs.

Treatment depends on the age of the patient (as above) and the stage of the disease.

Clostridium botulinum being anaerobic means that it thrives in the absence of oxygen. This is significant because it helps the bacteria to survive and produce its toxin, botulinum toxin, in environments where oxygen levels are low, such as in canned foods or in wounds.

Clostridium perfringens is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped, anaerobic, spore-forming bacterium of the genus Clostridium. This type of bacteria is one of the most common causes of food poisoning in the United States.

Horses lyme diesease symptoms are lameness, fever, swelling bite, and a diffrent behavior. Lyme is caused by a tick bite. You can also prevent this by talking with your pets veternainian and get a medicine to put on your pets fur to repell the ticks.

Also for other pets that horses might have a change in their behavior.

Yes, measles is highly contagious and can spread easily through coughing and sneezing by an infected person. It can also remain airborne and inhaled by others nearby. Vaccination is the best way to prevent measles transmission.

Yes, you can still get a flu shot while taking an antibiotic for Lyme's disease. The antibiotic you are taking should not interfere with the flu shot's effectiveness. It is generally recommended to maintain routine vaccinations even when on antibiotics unless advised otherwise by your healthcare provider.

I'm looking in my textbook and it says that these are harmful pathogenic organisms in Kingdom Protista: Sarcodina: Entamoeba Histolytica Coli, which is often spread through contaminated water. That's why when you go to foreign countries they say, "Don't drink the water!" Entamoeba Histolytica causes severe dysentery, nausea, exhaustion, diahrrea, and sometimes even death! So be careful! Mastigophorites are also pathogenic. A small fly known as the tsetse fly carries mastigophorites that belong to the genus trypanosoma, which causes African Sleeping Sickness, a disease which often leads to death. Balantidium Coli is a species of ciliophorathat is a parasitic pathogen of animals such as rats, pigs, and guinea pigs. The animal eats or drinks a substance contaminated with this and it is transfered to the animal or even the person. The coli feeds off of the animal/human's fecal matter (poop) , resulting in severe dysentery. It is not common in the US, but is very common in tropical regions of the world where malnutritioned people and pigs live in close proximity of one another. Hope this helps you !

Plasmodium, toxoplasma and E. histolytica.

These gram negative rods produce mucoid colonies which have entire margins and umbonate elevation. There are both red and white colonies present on a plate. Some strains of S. marcescensproduce the red pigment prodigiosin in response to incubation at 30o C, but do not do so at 37o C. This is an example of temperature-regulated phenotypic expression.

Crohn's is a disease of the digestive system. It is an auto-inflammatory response that generally targets the lower intestines, including the colon. Though the cause of Crohn's disease is not fully understood, it is similar in nature to arthritis.

Influenza is an infectious disease also commonly known as Flu. It’s an acute respiratory infection caused by Influenza Virus A and Virus B. Central BioHub's is an online biospecimen marketplace. It offers high-quality, well-defined influenza disease biospecimens collected from patients suffering from influenza infections. To check more visit our website.

In 1967 the World Health Organization (WHO) started a worldwide campaign to eradicate smallpox. This goal was accomplished in 10 years due in a large part to massive vaccination efforts. The last endemic case of smallpox occurred in Somalia in 1977. On May 8, 1980, the World Health Assembly declared the world free of smallpox.
