The Streptococcus Species

Monday, December 17th, 2007

The genus Streptococcus is comprised by the Gram-positive, microaerophilic cocci or round bacteria, which are not motile and arise in chains or pairs as observed by means of microscopy under the microscope like the binocular compound microscope. The genus is described by a mixture of antigenic, hemolytic and physiological features into Groups A, B, C, […]

The Miscellaneous Enterics

Monday, December 17th, 2007

Miscellaneous enterics include the Gram-negative genera such as Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Proteus, Citrobacter, Aerobacter, Providencia and Serratia discovered and identified with the help of microscopy using a microscope like the binocular compound microscope. These rod-shaped enteric or intestinal bacteria have been alleged of causing acute and chronic gastrointestinal illness based on examinations done via microscopy under […]

The Escherichia Coli O157:H7

Monday, December 17th, 2007

At present, there are four known classes of enterovirulent Escherichia coli that trigger gastroenteritis in humans as examined by means of microscopy under the microscope like the binocular compound microscope. Among these is the enterohemorrhagic or EHEC strain nominated Escherichia coli O157:H7. Escherichia coli organism is a typical resident of the intestines of all animals, […]

The Enteropathogenic Escherichia Coli

Monday, December 17th, 2007

Presently, there are four identified classes of enterovirulent Escherichia coli that initiate gastroenteritis in humans as examined by means of microscopy using a microscope such as binocular compound microscope. Among these are the enteropathogenic or EPEC strains. Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli are described as Escherichia coli that fit in to serogroups epidemiologically incriminated as pathogens but […]

The Enterotoxigenic Escherichia Coli

Monday, December 17th, 2007

Presently, there are four identified classes of enterovirulent Escherichia coli, which can be examined through microscopy under the microscope such as binocular compound microscope that cause gastroenteritis in humans. Among these classes are the enterotoxigenic or ETEC strains. They encompass a comparatively small proportion of the species and have been etiologically connected with diarrheal disease […]

Neonatal Streptococcal Infection

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

Streptococcal infection of the newborn is characterized by involvement of the navel and the subsequent development of bacteremia resulting in localization of the infection in other organs, particularly the joints. A binocular compound microscope can help in diagnosing these infections.

Diseases Caused By Listeria

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

In diseases caused by the pathogenic bacterium Listeria, the cerebrospinal fluid may be cloudy, there may be some congestion of meningeal vessels and in some bovine cases there is panophthalmitis but in general the macroscopic findings are not marked. Histological examination of brain tissue using a binocular compound microscope is necessary to demonstrate the micro-abscesses, […]

Caseous Lymphadenitis of Sheep

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

Binocular compound microscopes aid veterinarians in identifying and diagnosing the animals they are taking care of.
In Caseus Lymphadenitis of sheep, caseous abscesses filled with greenish yellow pus occur chiefly in lymph nodes and to a lesser extent in internal organs. In the early stages the pus is soft and pasty but in the later stages […]

Erysipelas in Swine

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

Erysipelas in pigs occurs generally throughout the world and in most countries reached a level of incidence sufficient to cause serious economic loss due to deaths of pigs and devaluation of pig carcasses due to arthritis. The importance of the disease is increased by the difficulties encountered in controlling and eradicating it. Because of man’s […]

Diagnosis for Erysipelas in Swine

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

A binocular compound microscope could help diagnose an animal disease. Microscopes, such as a binocular compound microscope, magnify a specimen and helps in the identification of a pathogenic microorganism. A binocular compound microscope has two eyepieces for the user to use. This would also aid in reducing eyestrain when using the binocular compound microscope.
