Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for more than 80% of lung cancer cases. The treatment plan and goal of treatment depend on the stage of your ...
Arcanobacterium (/ ɑːr ˈ k eɪ n oʊ b æ k ˌ t ɪər i ə m /) is a genus of bacteria. They are gram-positive, [1] non–acid fast, [1] nonmotile, [1] facultatively anaerobic, [1] and non–endospore forming. [1] They are widely distributed in nature in the microbiota of animals (including the human microbiota) and are mostly innocuous.
Corynebacterium haemolyticum MacLean et al. 1946. Arcanobacterium haemolyticum is a species of bacteria classified as a gram-positive bacillus. It is catalase -negative, facultative anaerobic, beta-hemolytic, and not motile. [1] It has been known to cause head and neck infections, pharyngitis, and sinusitis (Arcanobacterium haemolyticum ...
CAMP test is shown at bottom left. The CAMP test (Christie–Atkins–Munch-Peterson) is a test to identify group B β-hemolytic streptococci (Streptococcus agalactiae) [1][2] based on their formation of a substance, CAMP factor, [3] that enlarges the area of hemolysis formed by the β- hemolysin elaborated from Staphylococcus aureus.
Streptococcus equinus Andrewes and Horder 1906. Streptococcus bovis is a group of strains of Gram-positive bacteria, originally described as a species, [5][6] that in humans is associated with urinary tract infections, endocarditis, sepsis, [7] and colorectal cancer. [8] S. bovis is commonly found in the alimentary tract of cattle, sheep, and ...
Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae. Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is a Gram-positive, catalase -negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming, nonacid-fast, nonmotile bacterium. Distributed worldwide, E. rhusiopathiae is primarily considered an animal pathogen, causing the disease known as erysipelas that may affect a wide range of animals.
Gram stain (Gram staining or Gram's method), is a method of staining used to classify bacterial species into two large groups: gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria. It may also be used to diagnose a fungal infection. [1] The name comes from the Danish bacteriologist Hans Christian Gram, who developed the technique in 1884. [2]
The Ames test is a widely employed method that uses bacteria to test whether a given chemical can cause mutations in the DNA of the test organism. More formally, it is a biological assay to assess the mutagenic potential of chemical compounds. [1] A positive test indicates that the chemical is mutagenic and therefore may act as a carcinogen ...
