Elements similar to SaPIs have been detected in related Gram-positive bacteria, prompting a name change to phage-related chromosomal islands (PRCIs). PRCIs are normally quiescent until they are ...

Gram-positive cocci are often isolated from clinical samples. It is important to be able to distinguish these organisms from one another because while some are normal flora, others can be pathogenic.

Most species of bacteria can be broadly divided into two groups, known as gram-positive and gram-negative. These categories reflect big differences in the microbes' biology, and they also dictate ...

Because the same pH indicator (phenol red) is also used in these fermentation tubes, the same results are considered positive (e.g. a lactose broth tube that turns yellow after incubation has been ...

anaerobic gram-positive cocci, and Fusobacterium species. The presence of these bacteria is only "normal" if the titer of resident flora is low. When bacterial titers exceed 1000 colony forming ...

Positive psychology is a branch of psychology focused on the character strengths and behaviors that allow individuals to build a life of meaning and purpose—to move beyond surviving to flourishing.

I write about the life of a freelancer. In the modern business landscape, a positive workplace culture isn't just a nice-to-have, it’s the only way to avoid people talking shit about you on ...

Anaerobic Mammalian muscle: lactic acid. Yeast: ethanol and carbon dioxide. Some plants: ethanol and carbon dioxide. The products still contain stored chemical energy.

The authors reported the case of a patient with the signs of acute abdomen and septic shock (1). The patient was obviously empirically treated with tazobactam and metronidazole. This combination ...
