Skin, wounds, and Micobacterium lecture

Skin infections can be caused by many agents. Some of these are very serious including MRSA. These infections can be hospital or community acquired. Wounds and abscesses are also problems for many people that may be due to bites, burns, or injury. Some organisms involved may be S. aureus, S. pyogenes, Enterococcus, E. coli, Proteus, P. aeruginosa, and anaerobes. Eye infections are also common among some people. Some symptoms include swelling, exudates, and burning. The most common isolates are S. epidermidis, Lactobacillus, Corynebacterium, and P. acnes. Normal flora can vary in individuals, so each isolate can be identified. Ear infections can be seen in several forms including swimmer’s ear (P. aeruginosa), acute localized otitis externa (S. aerus), and chronic otitis externa (P. aeruginosa, anaerobes). Usually these are plated onto SBA, Choc, and MAC.
Mycobateria
is a very serious disease that should be taken very seriously and when working with suspected cases, extreme caution should be taken. The main mode of transmission is inhalation, and as a result outbreaks are seen among people living in close quarters. There are 5 stages of infection, and most cases do not progress to the advanced stage. NTMs are non-tuberculosis mycobacterium, and these can be grouped into slow growers, and rapid growers. One very interesting noncultivable NTM is M. leprae, which causes leprosy. This has been seen recently in parts of the South acquired by people eating armadillos. Follow thw link below to the story.

  1. Thanks for finding the article about the armadillos spreading a strain of leprosy. I also was able to learn a few new thing about the disease and how easliy it can now be treated. What I found most interesting was how unique the strain they found in the US was. Also the disease does effect the skin of humans but in the armadillos it affects their spleen, lymph nodes and liver. I wonder why that is?

  2. Interesting article but first I just want to say Eww to people eating armadillos! No offense to anyone who may have eaten them before but I just could not imagine myself doing that. Anyways, thank you I did enjoy reading your post! I did not know armadillos carried M. leprae. That just gives me one more reason not to like them. Also, I find it interesting how all of these infectious diseases were caused by a species of microorganisms. I never really thought about it until I started the program. I had impetigo when I was a kid and I never knew what it was caused from until this past year.

  3. Unfortunately 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.

  4. I 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....
