Capsule is an layer around the bacteria cell which gives bacteria the protection and pathogenicity. Staining such an layer is difficult with the normal stains so it is necessary to stain the background and the cell itself which makes the capsule appear colourless.

Good pipetting technique helps scientists achieve more reliable results from their experiments. Nothing is more frustrating than having to repeat an experiment because poor pipetting technique offset the accuracy of aspirated volumes by 10-50%. Good pipetting technique may also help avoid embarrassing retractions of manuscripts from journals after peers fail to replicate an experiment. Proper pipette technique not only improves experimental outcomes, but it also helps protect the scientist from injury resulting from poor micropipette technique. As proper pipetting technique encompasses the use of ergonomic pipettes, this can also translate to a long-lasting investment for your laboratory. By choosing CAPP’s range of ergonomic pipettes labs have the benefit of long-lasting and robust tools that can be used for a very long time. When coupled with the use of CAPP’s premium filter tips and pipette cone filters that protect pipette shafts from potentially harmful splashes, good pipette technique will save on the cost of equipment replacement.
Adenoviral conjunctivitis, also known as "pink eye is a common, self-limiting condition that typically is caused by adenovirus.
Adenoviruses can cause an array of clinical diseases, including conjunctivitis, respiratory disease, hemorrhagic cystitis and gastroenteritis.
Bacteria are unicellular, procaryotic microorganisms which have diverse shape size and structures. Bacteria are found almost everywhere on Earth. Even the human body is full of bacteria, and in fact is estimated to contain more bacterial cells than human cells. Most bacteria in the body are harmless, and some are even helpful. A relatively small number of species cause disease.
A microscope is an instrument used to observe very small organisms i.e. microorganisms. The microscope provides magnification and resolution which makes the image enlarged and fine. There are different types of microscopes ranging from simple to compound microscopes.
Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular), known as the power house of the cell that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell's biochemical reactions. Mitochondria generates most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), by a process called
“oxidative phosphorylation”.
Type II Hypersensitivity-Antibody mediated cytotoxic HypersensitivityAnup Bajracharya
Type II Hypersensitivity is antibody-mediated immune reaction in which antibodies (IgG or IgM) are directed against cellular or extracellular matrix antigens with the resultant cellular destruction, functional loss, or damage to tissues.
Dark-field microscopy is used to illuminate unstained samples causing them to appear bright against a dark background. This type of microscope contains a special condenser having a central blacked-out area.

Pentose phosphate pathway is an alternative pathway to glycolysis and TCA cycle for oxidation of glucose. It is a shunt of glycolysis. It is also known as hexose monophosphate (HMP) shunt or phosphogluconate pathway. It occurs in cytoplasm of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. While it involves oxidation of glucose, its primary role is anabolic rather than catabolic. It is an important pathway that generates precursors for nucleotide synthesis and is especially important in red blood cells (erythrocytes).
It is the catabolic process by which fatty acid molecules are broken down in the cytosol in prokaryotes and in the mitochondria in eukaryotes to generate acetyl-CoA.
Environmental impacts of coronavirus crisis, challenges aheadAnup Bajracharya
The worldwide disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in numerous impacts on the environment and the climate. There is reduction in carbon emissions, visibility clearance in the environment.
Convalescent plasma therapy is the treatment in which plasma that is removed from the blood of a person who has recovered from a disease is transfused into a person with the disease that fight against the causative agents and make patient safe from the diseased condition.
When fresh liquid medium is inoculated with a given number of bacteria and incubated for sufficient period of time, it gives a characteristic growth pattern of bacteria.
If the bacterial population is measured periodically and log of number of viable bacteria is plotted in a graph against time, it gives a characteristic growth curve which is known as growth curve or growth cycle.
Growth of bacteria is affected by many factors such as nutrition concentration and other environmental factors.
Some of the important factors affecting bacterial growth are:
Nutrition concentration
Temperature
Gaseous concentration
pH
Ions and salt concentration
Available water
Bunyavirus, any virus belonging to the family Bunyaviridae. Bunyaviridae is a family of arthropod-borne or rodent-borne, spherical, enveloped RNA viruses. Bunyaviruses are responsible for a number of febrile diseases in humans and other vertebrates. They have either a rodent host or an arthropod vector and a vertebrate host.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

5. Step I: Preparation of the glass slide:
• Clean, grease free slides are needed for smear
preparation.
• Grease or oil from the fingers on slides must be
removed by washing the slides with soap and water
• Finally rinse the slide with 95% alcohol and dry it.
• Hold the slide by their edge.
6. • Step II: Labeling of slides:
• Proper labeling of the slide is essential.
• Every slides should be labeled clearly.
• A lead pencil /permanent CD marker is used to
write on the frosted areas of the glass slide.
7. • Step III: Preparation of smear:
• An evenly spread smear should be prepared covering area
of 15-20mm diameter.
• Avoid thick and dense smear because thick smear prevent
light penetration to visualize the morphology of cell.
• A good smear is one that, when dried, appears as a thin
whitish layer or film. The print of textbook should be legible
through the smear.
8. i. Broth cultures (liquid medium)
• Re-Suspend the culture by tapping the tube with your finger.
• Depending on the size of the loop, one or two loopfuls should be
applied to the center of the slide with a sterile inoculating loop and
spread evenly over an area.
• Allow the smear to air-dry
Different techniques are used for smear preparation depending upon culture media
9.
10. ii. Culture plates (Solid medium)
• Suspension is accomplished by spreading the cells in a circular motion in
the drop of water with the loop. This helps to avoid cell clumping.
• The finished smear should occupy an area about the size of a nickel and
should appear as a translucent, or semitransparent, whitish film
• Place a drop of water into the circle that has been created on the slide.
• Using a sterilized and cooled inoculation loop, obtain a very small sample of
a bacterial colony from the culture palte.
• Gently mix the bacteria into the water drop.
11. • Step IV: Air dry
• Smear should be allowed to dry completely at
room temperature at safe place
12. • Step V: Fixation of smear:
• The purpose of fixation of smear is to preserve and
prevent smear being washed away during staining.
• Heat fixation
• After smear is air dried completely, rapidly pass the 3-4
times through flame of Bunsen burner or sprit lamp.
• Avoid too much heating.
• After heat fix, allow the smear to cool before staining.
