	Disease Listing, Meningococcal Disease, General Info \| CDC Bacterial, Mycotic Diseases
		For bacterial meningitis, it is also important to know which type of bacteria is causing the meningitis because antibiotics can prevent some types from spreading and infecting other people.
		Before the 1990s, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) was the leading cause of bacterial meningitis, but new vaccines being given to all children as part of their routine immunizations have reduced the occurrence of invasive disease due to H.
		Appropriate antibiotic treatment of most common types of bacterial meningitis should reduce the risk of dying from meningitis to below 15%, although the risk is higher among the elderly.

	Bacterial Vaginosis
		Bacterial vaginosis is an overgrowth of several bacteria that normally exist in the vagina.
		Bacterial vaginosis is generally not thought to be a sexually transmitted infection (STI), because it occurs in women who are not sexually active.
		Women who have bacterial vaginosis lose this protection and have both a large increase in the number of potentially harmful bacteria and a large decrease in the numbers of normal, protective lactobacilli in their vagina.

	Bacterial Meningitis - For Patients and Families - Children's Hospital Boston
		Bacterial meningitis usually starts with headache and fever, which are common to many illnesses, making bacterial meningitis difficult to diagnose at this stage.
		Children with bacterial meningitis are admitted to the hospital for treatment and monitoring while awaiting the results of spinal fluid tests, and for doctors to look for a source of the infection, such as a sinus infection.
		If someone is in close contact with a person who has bacterial meningitis, such as a roommate, parent, sibling, daycare worker, classmate, or boyfriend or girlfriend, they are at an increased risk and should go to the doctor for antibiotics to prevent bacterial meningitis before symptoms occur.

	Bacterial Cell Model
		DNA in the bacterial cell is generally confined to this central region.
		Though it isn't bounded by a membrane, it is visibly distinct (by transmission microscopy) from the rest of the cell interior.
		This layer of polysaccharide (sometimes proteins) protects the bacterial cell and is often associated with pathogenic bacteria because it serves as a barrier against phagocytosis by white blood cells.

	eMedicine - Pneumonia, Bacterial : Article by James Stephen, MD
		Background: Bacterial pneumonia is caused by a pathogenic infection of the lungs and may present as a primary disease process or as the final coup de grace in the individual who is already debilitated.
		In a patient with preexisting respiratory disease, onset of bacterial pneumonia may result in a downward spiral of infections, further impairment of respiratory status, and repeated infections owing to reduced local and systemic immune responses.
		Leukocytosis with a left shift may be observed in any bacterial infection; however, its absence, particularly in patients who are elderly, should not cause the clinician to discount the possibility of a bacterial infection.

	CenterWatch - Eye on Bacterial Infections
		Bacterial infections are caused by growth within body tissues of harmful bacteria that normally do not reside in the body in large numbers.
		Worldwide, bacterial infections are the leading cause of death, and they are a significant cause of morbidity and health care expenditures.
		Spread of bacterial infection occurs by inhalation of airborne bacteria, oral ingestion from dirty hands or contaminated food or water, direct contact with an infected lesion or contaminated blood, or by insect bite.

	Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)
		Bacterial vaginosis (BV) occurs when the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina changes and an overgrowth of some bacteria normally found in the vagina occurs.
		Studies indicate that a woman with bacterial vaginosis has an increased chance of having a variety of other reproductive tract problems.
		Most commonly, BV is diagnosed by examination of vaginal discharge to evaluate the acidity, odor, and microscopic characteristics of the discharge.

	Handbook of Ocular Disease Management - Bacterial Conjunctivitis
		Patients with bacterial conjunctival infections present with injection of the bulbar conjunctiva, episcleral vessels and perhaps papillae of the palpebral conjunctiva.
		These include bacteriostatic lysozymes and immunoglobulins in the tear film, the shearing force of the blink, the immune system in general, and non-pathogenic bacteria that colonize the eye and compete against external organisms that try to enter.
		Like patients with bacterial conjunctivitis, those suffering from viral and allergic conjunctivitis will often report that their lids are matted shut in the morning with mucopurulent material.

		A study of bacterial pneumonia in Barcelona, Spain, found that the yearly rate of bacterial pneumonia between 1997 and 2002 was eight per 1000 HIV patients.
		Incidence of bacterial pneumonia was 22.7 episodes/100 person-years in early 1993, 12.3 episodes/100 patient-years in early 1996, and 9.1 episodes/100 patient-years in late 1997 (p<0.05).

	Growth of Bacterial Populations
		The Laboratory of Bacterial Pathogenesis and Immunology, Rockefeller University.
		Bacterial cultures can be maintained in a state of exponential growth over long periods of time using a system of continuous culture (Figure 4), designed to relieve the conditions that stop exponential growth in batch cultures.
		Studying the growth of bacterial populations in batch or continuous cultures does not permit any conclusions about the growth behavior of individual cells, because the distribution of cell size (and hence cell age) among the members of the population is completely random.

	Bacteria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The bacterial cell is bound by a lipid membrane, or plasma membrane, which encompasses the contents of the cell, or cytoplasm, and acts as a barrier that holds nutrients, proteins and other essential molecules within the cell.
		Bacterial cell walls are composed of peptidoglycan (called Murein in older sources), are are thus different from the cell walls of plants and fungi which have cell walls of cellulose and chitin, respectively.
		Bacterial metabolism can be divided broadly on the basis of the kind of energy used for growth, electron donors and electron acceptors and by the source of carbon used.

	Bacterial Speck of Tomato
		Bacterial speck and bacterial spot normally are not as prevalent as some of the other leaf spot diseases of tomatoes in Kansas, but they can cause serious damage during wet summers.
		Bacterial speck lesions also are slightly raised but are typically much smaller (1/16 inch) than those of bacterial spot.
		The development of bacterial speck is favored by relatively cool (70 F), wet conditions, while bacterial spot becomes more severe during periods of warm temperatures (75-80 F), heavy rainfall, and a high relative humidity.

	Ambion TechNotes 9(6): Bacterial RNA Isolation from Infected Eukaryotic Hosts
		Although the mass of eukaryotic RNA isolated from host-bacterial cell mixtures is often far greater than the mass of bacterial RNA isolated, this complex mixture of total RNAs is the starting material for the MICROBEnrich procedure.
		After magnetic separation, the bacterial RNA remaining in the supernatant and can be precipitated with ethanol.
		Bacterial mRNAs purified with the combined MICROBEnrich and MICROBExpress Kits serve as better templates than total RNA for downstream applications and therefore deliver dramatic increases in sensitivity when used in applications such as array analysis.
