Escherischia coli : A 5 page paper discussing the biology and
effects of E. coli. Bibliography lists three sources. Ecoli.wps

Salmonella : A 5 page discussion of the bacteria found under
the genus Salmonella. Includes information on their biology,
their method of attack, symptoms and ways to prevent infection.
Bibliography lists three sources. Salmone.wps

The Genus Chlamydia / Emphasis On Chlamydia
Trachomatis : A five page overview of the Chlamydia genus
of bacteria with a particular emphasis on Chlamydia trachomatis
the organism which is responsible for nongonococcal urethritis,
a common sexually transmitted disease. Bibliography lists four
sources. Chlamy.wps

Seahorses / With Particular Emphasis On Hippocampus
ingens : A 5 page look at seahorse biology and impacts to their
population such as the aquarium and pharmaceutical trades.
Includes a particular emphasis on Hippocampus ingens.
Bibliography lists twelve sources. Seahorse.wps

Streptococcus mutans / An Overview : A 5 page overview of
the polysaccharide-producing, ondopathogenic bacteria
Streptococcus mutans. Includes information regarding its
involvement in the formation of dental cavities. Bibliography
lists 5 sources. Strepto.wps

Contribution of Legionella pneumophilia’s Natural
Environment to its Pathogenesis Ability : A 6 page paper
discussing the manner in which this organism’s method of
survival in nature contributes to its pathogenicity. L.
pneumophilia is absolutely an aerobic bacterium. It favors the
environment of water where there is the presence also of metal,
such as water holding tanks, commercial cooling systems and
shower heads, which ultimately could be important in
determining its control through methods other than those
currently available. An intracellular organism, it is highly
adaptable to rapidly changing environmental conditions and
shows the greatest affinity for those human cells that most
closely match its preferred natural environment. Bibliography
lists 8 sources. Patho.wps

Determining Listeria monocytogenes Kill Curves : A 5 page
paper describing an experiment designed to result in kill curves
for Listeria monocytogenes in orange juice when treated with
heat. L. monocytogenes is a relatively rare but potentially
deadly food-borne contaminant and is resistant not only to heat,
acidity and salt treatment but also is known to thrive at low
temperatures that indicate that even refrigeration is not an
effective deterrent to its growth. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa Genetic Defects and Epithelial
Uptake : An 8 page paper discussing the inability of
genetically defective P. aeruginosa to successfully invade
epithelial cells. A disturbing development of recent years is that
many of the old standby antibiotics are no longer having
sufficient effect on the old standby bacteria on which they have
been used for years for effective control of disease. Genetic
mapping of some of the most common disease-causing
organisms, however, has led to the ability to genetically alter
many disease organisms to the point that their potential
virulence is affected. Bibliography lists 8 sources. Pseudo.wps

Superantigens in Disease : A 6 page paper discussing the
mechanisms through which superantigens operate. Antigens
and superantigens are protein substances produced by viruses
and bacteria that trigger the body’s immune system into action.
That immune system can degrade most antigens without
bringing harm to healthy tissue, but the superantigen is the
microbial antigen that is of particularly strong effect. Research
has shown that those same mechanisms can be manipulated for
the benefit of the individual undergoing procedures such as
chemotherapy or victims of autoimmune deficiencies, creating
the possibility of a therapeutic strategy from a formerly fully
negative occurrence. Bibliography lists 8 sources. Supera.wps
