This week in lecture we discussed GI and genital tract infections. There are several diseases associated with the GI tract including gastroenteritis, enteritis, infectious diarrhea, and antibiotic associated diarrhea. An interesting fact that I learned from this lecture is that E. coli can be pathogenic or normal flora. The different pathogenic forms are ETEC, EPEC, EIEC, EAEC, and EHEC. Most isolates are the 0157: H7 strain. Salmonella, Shigella, and Camplobacter are all pathogens that are isolated in the lab. KIA, LIA, and Urea are used to ID and differentiate Shigella and Salmonella. When these are identifies, serotyping is done to identify the species. There are other pathogens and anaerobes that are identifies, but they follow procedures previously covered.
Genital Tract infections are commonly caused by sexually transmitted diseases. N. gonorrhoeae, C. trachomatis, HPV, HIV, Trichomonas, and C. albicans are among the most common. There are many diseases associated with the agents, and according ot symptoms a physician will order testing accordingly. A cervical swab should be put in transport media, charcoal cotton or rayon. Specimens for Chlamydia should be transported in 2 SP medium, on ice. Gram stains, wet preps, and direct antigen tests can all be done depending on what organism is suspected. The cell culture is still considered the gold standard. Selective media for a GC culture is MTM, Martin Lewis, and NYC.
Good message about treatment, but what a mean little man! Makes me want to talk to his wife.
ReplyDeleteI love the cartoon and unfortunately in a way how the little man is going to handle it by not telling his wife and most likely any other partners which seems to be a popular thing these days is what really happens. One of the reasons so many people get an STD is because their partner is not honest about their condition and they have unprotected sex.

That little man is so BAD! The cartoon was very informative but he is a little bugger. I agree with danielle that this is too often a result of sleeping around and being dishonest with partners. I would also like to bring up the point that he implies he isn't going to change because he has a doctor that can cure STD's but so often, they cannot be cured and are usually viral. I would say he is fortunate it was only N. gonorrhea but he deserves them all!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately there are a lot of AIDS/Herpes denials on Herbal cures still out there. I did research on them after I was tested HIV/Herpes positive I was so worried am I going to die soon. I continue my search again on herbal remedy for Std, then I found lots of testimony on how Dr Itua Herbal Medicine Cured HIV/Aids, Herpes Virus,Copd, Hepatitis, Diabetes, On websites sharing their testimonies, which made much more sense to me. All the authors pronounce Dr Itua As a man with Good Heart, I pick interest in their testimonies and I contact him about my situation then he gave me procedure how it works, I proceed after one week he courier his Herbal Medicine to me and instruct me on how to drink it for two weeks to cure. I receive His Herbal Medicine so I drank it for two weeks as I was told then after 2 days I go for a test I found out I was cured from HIV/Aids & Herpes Virus, I pay homage to him 2 months ago to his country to celebrate with him on his African festival which he told me it usually happens every year. I know there are lots of (HIV)/Aids&Herpes Virus denials of Herbal Remedy movement the same few doctors and they represent a very small faction of the community. I could have died because I refused Natural Herbs Cures for so long, but luckily, by the grace of God I am alive to tell my story.

ReplyDeleteI am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetis,Fribroid,,Non Hodgkin Lymphoma,Skin Cancer,Uterine Cancer,Prostate Cancer Dercum,Infertility,fibromyalgia,Get Your Ex Back,Als,SYPHILLIS,Genetic disease,Epilepsy, Parkinson's disease..You can free yourself of this Herpes virus by consulting this great African Herbal Doctor via this e-mail: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com or call and whatsapp him on +2348149277967 He will help you and his herb medication is sure. he has the cure on all disease .You can talk to me on INSTAGRAM..tashamoore219....
