Reflection


Microbiology was an interesting class. I like working in the lab and do experiment with the bacteria.

 I think there to much work due and I was feeling  overwhelmed with everything.  I like the group

project that I did. Even if the result of it make me think about  eating chicken now. Overall it was a

great class. I have learn new stuff from the class. The  material that I learned will help me with my

career. I think will pay more attention with things around me. It was a great experience.

Microbiology and A&P are almost the same. Microbiology teach about microbes that affect us and

A&P teach about the different system in our body. How those system works. microbiology and A&P

work together. One look at the system and the other how the system is affected by the microbes we

encounter everyday. People encounters a lot of microbes everyday. if they don't clean after touching a
dirty stuff , they will get sick. If they work in hospital you have to wash your hands between patients.

All of those example are important for you to follow because you might cause a disease to another

patients. Anatomy and physiology we focus more on the function of the system instead where and

what part secrete this type of fluid.Microbiology give more information about what to do when you

have an infection. What cause it to happen. We are able to identify  the bacteria and his

pathogenicity compare to A&P. A&P helps where to locate the disease in the body parts.

Cholera

Cholera is an infection of the intestine by the bacteria vibrio cholerae.   Symptoms range from none to  mild to severe.  The symptoms are profuse diarrhea, vomiting, headache, abdominal cramps. Severe cholera without treatment kills half of affected individuals. Cholera is transmitted to human by contaminated food and water. Most cholera cases in developed countries are a result of transmission by food. In the developing country  is often water. People affected with cholera can transmit the disease to others
from fecal contamination of food and water caused by poor sanitation. To prevent cholera , you need to  inform people about it,sterilization of  equipment that have been in contact with an infected patient. water purification, inform people if  something is contaminated and how to decontaminated the water. Also practice hygiene like wash your hands with soap and water. Treatment  for cholera is  oral  rehydration  therapy, electrolyte, antibiotic, zinc supplementation.

 In 2010 in Haiti they have a break out of cholera.  After the earthquake, people who were in camp site have cholera. They have poor sanitation. Most of those camp were crowed.  people start to get sick and most of them die from cholera.  they have 665,000 cases and 8183 deaths. Today they still have new case.
