McIntosh and Filde's anaerobic jar: production of anaerobic conditions for organisms that die in the presence of even little oxygen (anaerobiosis), e.g. tetanus bacteria Microscope: to observe microscopic specimens that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Microtitre plates: mostly used for ELISA: Microtome: cuts prepared specimens for analysis ...
The culture: The culture media are placed inside the jar, stacked up one on the other, and; Indicator system: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, inoculated on to a nutrient agar plate is kept inside the jar along with the other plates. This bacteria need oxygen to grow . A growth free culture plate at the end of the process indicates a successful ...
In 2020 he focused his research on the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects the virus had on minority children. [3] His research findings have been published in several medical journals including: the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, [6] The American Association for the Advancement of Science, [7] and The Lancet.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention quietly announced on Oct. 5 that it will no longer provide public information on daily COVID-19 cases and deaths across the U.S. Instead, the CDC ...
The timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic lists the articles containing the chronology and epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2, [1] the virus that causes the coronavirus disease 2019 and is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. The first human cases of COVID-19 occurred in Wuhan, People's Republic of China, on or about 17 November 2019. [2]
Attempts to culture virus from upper respiratory specimens were largely unsuccessful when viral burden is low but detectable (i.e., cycle threshold values higher than 33–35). [81] On 1 May, Quotient Limited announced the CE Mark for its MosaiQ COVID-19 antibody test, [82] designed as a serological disease screen specific to the Coronavirus. [83]
The transmission of COVID-19 is the passing of coronavirus disease 2019 from person to person. COVID-19 is mainly transmitted when people breathe in air contaminated by droplets/aerosols and small airborne particles containing the virus. Infected people exhale those particles as they breathe, talk, cough, sneeze, or sing.
