05-11-18 Bio Notes! I Tried Out A New Background And I Think It Looks Really Pretty!! I Hope You Guys

 30 . 06 . 2017  Microbiology notes !!!  Yesterday I took my physics final exam and it went great: I got a 27/30, which is way more than what I expected as Physics is one of my worst subjects.  My next exam, microbiology, is in four days and I’m starting to feel a bit anxious about it as it’s a pretty tough exam but I’ll try to do my best ! 

18/1/18 - Recent virology notes! Ignore the headings, I bought some new brush pens and I’m still getting used to them..

Clostridium botulinum

Gram+, anaerobe, spore forming, motile rods

Botulin toxin (botox) inhibits the release of ACh and produces a flacid paralysis.

Adults ingest the toxin from poorly heated canned food (labile toxin, 60° 10minutes): weakness, diplopia, flacid paralysis and respiratory muscles involved, vomiting, diarrhea.

Infants ingest the spore from the dust or honey and form the toxins in the gut: constipation, weak crying, weak feeding, flacid paralysis and rapid respiratory involvement

Wound: traumatic implantation (assoc. w/ IVDA; uncommon), same symptoms without GI symptoms. Debridement, no closure.

Hope it helps @shreeparn  :)
