I have been trying to identify this species of bacteria for ~10 weeks now with multiple tests. But after BLAST-ing the sequenced DNA, no significant similarities were found and I will never know the species of my Bac:/ here was my first pic of it #CCmicrobes
Someone in my groupchat said they stepped on a rusty nail last night and is afraid of getting tetanus! Thankfully we get tetanus shots every 10 years or the Clostridium tetani bacteria would be turning my friend into a backwards banana #CCmicrobes
I am surprised no one chose Ebola to be their microbe of the week! It is a RNA viral disease that destroys endothelial cells of blood vessels, and makes you bleed from the inside out! Would've had my vote if you put it that way! #CCMicrobes
Yersinia pestis: I hope everyone knows the 3 types of plagues and what they infect!
Bubonic - lymph nodes
Pneumonic - lungs
Septicemic - blood
#CCmicrobes
I have dedicated my vote to the rabies virus for Microbe of the Week for a while, but am changing my vote to Yersinia pestis! After learning about the 3 different types of plague caused by this bacteria, how could I not vote for it? #ccmicrobes
For everyone who has been following #CCphysio, this has been a super fun and effective way to talk about science. As we are getting ready for exams, make sure to eat well and hydrated. No one wants hypotonic cells!
Everyone knows that the week before Finals is Hell Week. My body is going into "flight or fight" mode (sympathetic NS). Who else is stressed? #CCphysio
I am craving chicken wings but I just ate!! I wonder if grelin or leptin play a role in food cravings as well, and not just appetite in general 🤔#CCphysio
When a person looses 40% of blood due to injury, it is important to keep them warm and to make sure their blood is not getting too acidic! Think about pH and temperature! #CCphysio
