symptoms of bv in your mouth :: Article Creator Oral Sex Linked To Vaginal Condition Bacterial Vaginosis BV bacteria covering cells Oral sex may create an environment for a common vaginal condition called bacterial vaginosis or BV, according to research in the journal PLoS Biology. BV is not a sexually transmitted infection. It is an imbalance of the usual bacteria found in the vagina. Women who have it may have no symptoms, but some get a strong-smelling discharge. Researchers explored what effect mouth bacteria have on microbes that live and grow in the vagina.

latent tuberculosis contagious :: Article Creator Deadly Diseases When German biologist and doctor Robert Koch announced in 1882 that he had discovered the bacterial cause of tuberculosis, he said, "If the number of victims which a disease claims is the measure of its significance, then all diseases … must rank far behind tuberculosis." By this measure, tuberculosis today still outranks most other infectious diseases for its sheer potential to affect vulnerable populations. The World Health Organization reports that TB infects one new person every second and is the world's leading killer of women. An ancient disease, tuberculosis has been found in the skulls and spinal cords of Egyptian mummies 3,000 years old. The Greek physician Hippocrates called "consumption" — as tuberculosis was often known in the past — the most common deadly disease of his time. An estimated one billion people died from tuberculosis between 1700...

bacteria in urine causes :: Article Creator What Causes Leukocytes In Urine? If your doctor tests your urine and finds too many leukocytes, it could be a sign of infection. Leukocytes are white blood cells created in the bone marrow and found in your blood and tissue. They are part of the immune system. When you have allergies, inflammation, infection, or disease, your body makes more leukocytes than usual to seek out and destroy the germs causing them. Having more of these in your urine than usual often indicates a problem in your urinary tract. What is the normal range of leukocytes in the urine? The normal range for leukocytes is 4,000 to 11,000 microliters. A count of fewer than 4,000 is considered leukopenia, which can indicate a viral infection or a condition such as lupus. Leukocytosis means a higher-than-normal leukocyte count, which can be caused by inflammation, infection, or cancer. Stress can also cause leukocyte levels to rise. ...

bacterial vaginosis :: Article Creator Bacterial Vaginosis And HIV Key points Bacterial vaginosis occurs when the balance of normal bacteria in the vagina becomes disrupted.

bullous impetigo :: Article Creator Impetigo – Symptoms, Treatments And Prevention What is it? Impetigo is a bacterial infection of the surface layers of the skin. It is not a serious condition but is highly contagious. There are two different types of impetigo – bullous and non-bullous. What are the symptoms? The symptoms of bullous impetigo are fluid-filled blisters, which usually appear on the arms, legs and above the waist but not the head and neck. The blisters can spread quickly and the area surrounding them may be itchy. After a few days the blisters will burst and form a yellow crust. These will then heal without scarring. Non-bullous impetigo starts with the appearance of red sores around the nose and mouth. These sores burst quickly leaving thick, yellow-brown crusts, which will heal by drying up and again won't scar. Fever symptoms and swollen glands can be common in cases of bullous impetigo, but are rare when your ...

It is commonly used to distinguish the genus Proteus from other enteric bacteria. The hydrolysis of urea forms the weak base, ammonia, as one of its products. This weak base raises the pH of the media above 8.4 and the pH indicator, phenol red, turns from yellow to pink. Proteus mirabilis is a rapid hydrolyzer of urea (center tube pictured here). The tube on the far right was inoculated with a urease negative org...
