Salmonella Treatment

A brand of almond milk behind a case of botulism in Australia was missing storage information, according to investigators. Inside Out Nutritious Goods has expanded a recall because products are not labeled with instructions to keep refrigerated. Authorities said failure to refrigerate the products can lead to microbial growth and biotoxin contamination which may cause illness if consumed. Botulism is a rare but life-threatening condition caused by toxins produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria. Initially, the company recalled JS Health x ​​Inside Out Unsweetened Almond Milk Collagen + Calcium + Prebiotics sold in Woolworths stores in New South Wales (NSW). Now, 1-liter JS Health x ​​Inside Out Unsweetened Oat Milk Collagen + Calcium + Prebiotics and the Barista version are affected. Drinks were sold at Woolworths outlets nationally and have a use-by date up to and including May 18, 2023. The earlier recall was updated following a NSW Dep...

Histoplasmosis is a fungal infection, usually of the lungs. It is caused by breathing in fungal spores from bird or bat feces in the soil. The fungal spores become airborne when the soil is disturbed, sometimes by construction or clean-up projects. The infection can be mild or severe. The fungus can spread to many body parts, including the lungs and nervous system. This infection is rare. Only 1,100 cases occurred across the 13 states that reported this condition to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2019. This article will cover the causes and types of histoplasmosis, the symptoms of histoplasmosis, and how this disease is treated and diagnosed.

When healthy people are exposed to Histoplasma , they don't usually develop symptoms. In cases that do cause illness, the symptoms go away on th...

Specialty Adblock test (Why?)

NAGPUR: Two men, aged 25 and 68, have been found to be infected with bordetella pertussis - a contagious vector causing respiratory illness mainly whooping cough - at a private hospital in the city. The bacteria had nearly disappeared with nationwide tetanus-diphtheria (TD) immunization drive. The bacteria causes havoc among under 10 age group but vaccination has neutralized its impact. The young man and the elderly are from outside the city. Both had persistent cough for more than three weeks but were found negative for Covid, swineflu, pneumonia and other flu-like illness. Infectious disease specialist Dr Ashwnin Tayade said the bacteria probably resurfaced because of drop in TD vaccination coverage in the last few years. "Though once in a life booster dose is suggested among adults, we don't have any guidelines for it and people also don't take it. The routine paedetric vaccination drive suffered in Covid across the globe which could be one of the factors," she sa...

Bacteria are tiny, single-celled organisms that are found almost everywhere. The human body is estimated to contain at least as many bacterial cells as human cells. Most of these bacteria are harmless to us, and many perform beneficial purposes—such as helping to digest food. However, some bacteria are pathogenic, meaning they can make us sick. This article will discuss what bacteria are, what they do, the types of bacteria, and what happens if there is a bacterial infection. Clouds Hill Imaging Ltd. / Getty Images What Are Bacteria? Bacteria are microbes—living organisms that are too small to be seen without a microscope. Bacteria are so tiny that if lined up, 1,000 could span the width of a pencil eraser. Each bacterium (singular of bacteria) consists of a single cell. Bacteria play essential roles in the Earth's ecosystems. They are also helpful to humans in many ways. For example, bacteria are used to make yogurt and cheese. ...

Abstract Probiotic bacteria with functions of importance to the health and well-being of the host exhibit various medicinal properties including anti-proliferative properties against cancer cells. There are observations demonstrating probiotic bacteria and their metabolomics can be different in various populations with different eating habits. Here, Lactobacillus plantarum was treated with curcumin (the major compound of turmeric), and its resistance to the curcumin was determined. After then the cell-free supernatants of untreated bacteria (CFS) and bacteria treated with curcumin (cur-CFS) were isolated and their anti-proliferative properties against HT-29 colon cancer cells were compared. The ability of L. plantarum treated with curcumin to combat a variety of pathogenic bacterial species and its ability to survive in acidic conditions were evidence that the probiotic properties of the bacterium were unaffected by the curcumin treatment. L. plantarum treated with curcumin...

At Patient, we know our readers sometimes want to have a deep dive into certain topics. In this series of articles centred around pneumonia, you can read about the causes, symptoms and treatments - all written by one of our GP experts. What causes pneumonia? Pneumonia is almost always caused by bugs - viruses, bacteria, fungi - getting into the lungs and causing an infection. Normally, the immune system stops infections entering into the lungs and living there. However, if infections do successfully attack the lungs, the immune system's response causes the affected areas to fill with fluid or pus, leading to the symptoms of pneumonia. Bacteria Bacterial infections - the most common causes of pneumonia - are sometimes divided into 'typical' and 'atypical' infections. Typical bacteria are the commoner ones that cause pneumonia and atypical are the less common ones. Typical bacteria that cause pneumonia include : Atypical bacteria that cause pneumonia include : Legione...
