There are many different germs and infections inside and outside of the healthcare setting. Despite the variety of viruses and bacteria, germs spread from person to person through a common series of events. Therefore, to prevent germs from infecting more people, we must break the chain of infection. No matter the germ, there are six points at which the chain can be broken and a germ can be stopped from infecting another person. The six links include: the infectious agent, reservoir, portal of exit, mode of transmission, portal of entry, and susceptible host. Infection cycle

Neisseria gonorrhoeae for more details - Neisseria meningitidis Neisseria  is a large genus of  bacteria  that colonize the  mucosal surfaces of many animals. Of the 11 species that colonize humans, only two are  pathogens ,  N. meningitidis and  N. gonorrhoeae . Most gonoccocal infections are asymptomatic and self-resolving, and epidemic strains of the meningococcus may be carried in >95% of a population where  systemic disease  occurs at <1% prevalence. Neisseria  species are  Gram-negative bacteria included among the  proteobacteria , a large group of Gram-negative forms.  Neisseria diplococci  resemble  coffee beans when viewed microscopically.

Starting a Biotech Company 

What are the core elements of a successful biotech? Each individual biotech business is unique: founding entrepreneurs have their own visions, strategies and goals; the science and technology that drive companies is inherently exclusive; and every business is exposed to a wide range of external factors, risks and market forces. With that said, do successful biotechs share common characteristics? Yes, they do, and this article looks at the main facets of sustainable and long-term biotech businesses. Of course, it always starts with the science, but then you'll need to focus on management, adaptation, timing, location and cash   Management: the right team Having a strong, experienced and stable management team is essential to the success of any business, because venture capitalists (VCs) are investing in the people at the top rather than the assets, technology or product. Why? Because a good management team keeps a business working effectively and efficiently and sets ou...
