 Mycobacterium phlei is an acid fast bacteria .They are named this way because they contain mycolic acids, which is also the reason that simple staining or Gram staining does not give good results with this microbe. In fact, they cover their cell bodies with mycolic acid which makes them one of the hardest genus of bacteria to kill.

It is a injection, outline to produce a toxin that actually contains 7 distinct serontogical types. Definition- C. Botulinum, the agent causing botulism in man, limberneck of chickens, botulism of wild ducks, and forage poisoning of cattle; it produces a powerful exotoxin that is resistant to to proteolytic digestion.


I am a proud mother of three beautyful daughter. I currently live in Los Angeles California. I've worked as a heathecare provider for almost 10 years. I am curently in school to pursue my MSN in nursing, and wants to work as a pediactric nurse, in public health.

Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is a nonsporulating, gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium which was identified more than 100 years ago as the etiologic agent of swine erysipelas. Since then, it has been found to cause infection in several dozen species of mammals and other animals. Humans become infected through exposure to infected or contaminated animals or animal products. By far the most common type of human infection is a localized, self-limited cutaneous lesion, erysipeloid. Diffuse cutaneous and systemic infections occur rarely. Approximately 50 cases of endocarditis have been reported; all but one recent case have involved native valves. The organism may be isolated from biopsy or blood specimens on standard culture media. It is identified by morphology, lack of motility, and biochemical characteristics; identification may be confirmed by the mouse protection test. It is susceptible to penicillins, cephalosporins, erythromycin, and clindamycin, but it is often resistant to many other antibiotics, including vancomycin, a drug frequently used in empiric therapy for infections due to gram-positive bacteria.


at times, life never seems to be the way we want it... But we live it the best way we can ... There's no perfect life, but we can feel it with perfect moments...
