  • 00:02 - 00:03

    Hello MS Carrie.

  • 00:03 - 00:06

    I'm going to talk about my microbiology final And

  • 00:06 - 00:11

    the questions asked about the big picture of microbiology.

  • 00:11 - 00:17

    So starting with my favorite topic is definitely about antigens and antibodies.

  • 00:18 - 00:20

    I definitely um love um

  • 00:20 - 00:24

    my job enrolling Air Force as immunization technician.

  • 00:24 - 00:32

    However my base does not have a um immunotherapy section in the clinic.

  • 00:32 - 00:36

    And so there are other bases as well with the same thing but

  • 00:36 - 00:39

    I have to go every two years to a base that has one

  • 00:40 - 00:46

    and be able to learn about um the roles that once when we inject certain microbes of a

  • 00:46 - 00:52

    particular item of plants animals or food source that

  • 00:52 - 00:55

    um learning how the body reacts to it.

  • 00:55 - 00:57

    I didn't get a whole lot of scope of

  • 00:57 - 01:01

    that and hunkering down and thankfully the semester has taught

  • 01:01 - 01:05

    me a lot about um focusing on the lymphocytes of

  • 01:05 - 01:08

    the B cells and T cells learning about receptors.

  • 01:08 - 01:11

    Learning about the binding sites. Learning about um

  • 01:12 - 01:18

    how um antibodies just work as a whole the light rods the heavy rods of the Y. Shape.

  • 01:19 - 01:24

    And I also um can help others understand and

  • 01:24 - 01:28

    explain to the patient why we are doing immunotherapy.

  • 01:29 - 01:30

    So

  • 01:31 - 01:35

    there's a prevalence to my job with understanding this topic.

  • 01:35 - 01:42

    And in the future of me becoming a nurse I want to also demonstrate um how to ask

  • 01:42 - 01:45

    um patients if they have certain allergies how

  • 01:45 - 01:48

    they react to some things because all it

  • 01:48 - 01:54

    takes is a little bit of microbes to cause an exacerbation of asthma or anaphylaxis.

  • 01:54 - 01:57

    These are definitely unfavorable unfavorable

  • 01:57 - 01:59

    characteristics that microbes have an

  • 01:59 - 02:03

    impact of um fighting us or us fighting it.

  • 02:04 - 02:05

    So

  • 02:05 - 02:09

    and talk about how if I had an unknown microbe what

  • 02:09 - 02:13

    steps would I take to determine if it's a virus?

  • 02:13 - 02:18

    If it's a fungi bacteria. What particular characteristics I would search for?

  • 02:18 - 02:27

    So starting out the study in microscopic morphology can help us determine in

  • 02:27 - 02:30

    a closer look at the characteristics physical

  • 02:30 - 02:33

    characteristics such as uh the shape.

  • 02:33 - 02:38

    The immediate thing you see is shapes if it's a spear if it's a spiral if it's a rod

  • 02:38 - 02:45

    you have how it moves. So if it moves is it moving back Coachella? Is it moving by Celia

  • 02:45 - 02:46

    um

  • 02:46 - 02:51

    size uh Different sizes of different precarious and eukaryotic

  • 02:51 - 02:57

    viruses? They will have a caps it a protein coding over it.

  • 02:57 - 03:00

    You might have to use electron microscope to get a closer

  • 03:00 - 03:04

    look at it because viruses are either living or non living.

  • 03:05 - 03:07

    So also you want to get into

  • 03:08 - 03:12

    looking at the inside of that cell or virus as well.

  • 03:12 - 03:18

    Um There's a difference in between the nucleus and the D. N. A. Of the precarious.

  • 03:18 - 03:23

    And you you curios and viruses you could be able to also

  • 03:23 - 03:28

    learn about its relatives and um put it on a tax on me

  • 03:28 - 03:29

    to figure out

  • 03:30 - 03:35

    um where the in relation this microbe is related to.

  • 03:36 - 03:40

    You also have its microbes niche where you're finding this in an environment.

  • 03:40 - 03:44

    You can do isolation methods of other microbes where it's coming from.

  • 03:44 - 03:50

    You can use coax partial it's and determining how this virus works.

  • 03:50 - 03:53

    And so there are

  • 03:53 - 03:58

    he um bacteria resistant bacteria. The um

  • 03:58 - 04:02

    you can also have um bacteria that is in

  • 04:02 - 04:05

    cold environment that can survive in cold environment.

  • 04:05 - 04:09

    So microbes have a niche on this um

  • 04:09 - 04:12

    by of the biodiversity on this planet.

  • 04:13 - 04:17

    Also to um if it helps that another physical characteristic.

  • 04:17 - 04:24

    And um looking at that um examination you can use dyes and staining so

  • 04:24 - 04:26

    you can use acid fast staining.

  • 04:26 - 04:31

    You can use a gram negative gram positive indigo staining flores sustaining.

  • 04:31 - 04:37

    So this helps illuminate the pepto godlike and of the cell wall of that microbes.

  • 04:37 - 04:39

    So that will help you see it better.

  • 04:40 - 04:44

    You have um how I um converse with

  • 04:44 - 04:48

    a person and educate that individual about vaccines.

  • 04:48 - 04:55

    So this is something I do on a daily basis and the prevalence to about one person a day.

  • 04:56 - 05:00

    So a lot of times people are still clear

  • 05:00 - 05:05

    from vaccination because they're scared of possible side effects and

  • 05:05 - 05:09

    things they're experiencing and that immuno body response when they're

  • 05:09 - 05:11

    hearing other people are getting sick from the vaccine.

  • 05:11 - 05:14

    They think we're giving them the virus or giving them the

  • 05:14 - 05:18

    bacteria but it's a killed off a weakened form of it.

  • 05:18 - 05:20

    So I explained to them

  • 05:21 - 05:25

    things that you do like the vaccines such as washing your hands,

  • 05:25 - 05:31

    washing your body um throw away your fruits and vegetables that are spoiled or bad.

  • 05:31 - 05:35

    So running joke we have in our allergy immunization

  • 05:35 - 05:39

    realm is that people are quick to throw away

  • 05:39 - 05:45

    when they hear from a new source about contaminated e coli salmonella vegetables.

  • 05:45 - 05:48

    But they're quick to steer away from getting vaccinated.

  • 05:48 - 05:51

    So vaccination is not just protection of potentially

  • 05:51 - 05:55

    picking up a communicable or non communicable disease.

  • 05:55 - 05:57

    It is also protect the elderly.

  • 05:57 - 06:00

    It protects against people who are immune compromised

  • 06:00 - 06:02

    or people with a weakened immune system.

  • 06:03 - 06:07

    It protects against um those who have contracts

  • 06:07 - 06:10

    indicators of a component of the vaccine.

  • 06:10 - 06:17

    So that happens. But when you're when you understand the chain of affection and how

  • 06:17 - 06:21

    um it's very lense the rate of affection of how

  • 06:21 - 06:26

    fast viruses because the spread is too late to sometimes

  • 06:26 - 06:27

    um

  • 06:27 - 06:30

    do something about it because you're amongst people

  • 06:30 - 06:33

    every day who are a some symptomatic,

  • 06:33 - 06:37

    you don't see signs and symptoms and then people you see signs and symptoms.

  • 06:37 - 06:44

    So it's um it unfortunately disrupts the um your values of going to work or to school.

  • 06:44 - 06:46

    You're picking up um

  • 06:46 - 06:48

    this infectious disease

  • 06:48 - 06:52

    and compromising other individuals as well.

  • 06:52 - 06:56

    So I say look at things you're doing and things

  • 06:56 - 06:59

    you're valuing of taking care of yourself and throwing away those

  • 06:59 - 07:04

    spoiled and bad um contaminated foods and look what vaccines do

  • 07:04 - 07:08

    they protect you and give you those antibodies to fight off

  • 07:09 - 07:11

    harmful infections and microbes.

  • 07:11 - 07:19

    So vaccination is a wonderful thing to look at overall as a big picture

  • 07:21 - 07:25

    and describing to positive to negative relationships we have

  • 07:25 - 07:30

    with microbes and some disadvantages advantages of each relationships.

  • 07:30 - 07:31

    I think about Ed Young's book,

  • 07:31 - 07:38

    he talks about so much symbiosis of the relationships we have with microbes,

  • 07:38 - 07:42

    whether it's parasitic, whether it's mutual communalism,

  • 07:42 - 07:50

    these things um shape our lives and every aspect we wear a coat of microbes every day,

  • 07:50 - 07:55

    every day we have microbes on us and these changes won't from the time

  • 07:55 - 08:01

    we walk out of the house and get exposed to different microbes and um

  • 08:01 - 08:05

    the micro diversity of having that.

  • 08:05 - 08:12

    But in the same token that the disruption of your microbiota from infections

  • 08:12 - 08:17

    getting cuts is a disadvantage and other people can get sick as well.

  • 08:19 - 08:23

    And the same um of exposure of microbes and

  • 08:23 - 08:29

    um immunity from mom through breastfeeding through vaginal birth.

  • 08:29 - 08:33

    It kind of holds true to the old friends theory was um in one of the

  • 08:33 - 08:37

    lectures that talked about that um if we

  • 08:37 - 08:40

    get exposed to these germs and microbes early on

  • 08:41 - 08:44

    that we don't get as sick or um

  • 08:44 - 08:48

    I feel bad when we are infected with certain Migros. So

  • 08:48 - 08:49

    it's important

  • 08:50 - 08:55

    um that exposure can develop a stronger immune system

  • 08:56 - 09:01

    on the negative side of the that however from

  • 09:02 - 09:08

    that mom can also um give a disease to that child or whether it's communicable,

  • 09:08 - 09:09

    noncommunicable

  • 09:10 - 09:15

    but also pollution is another source of where um

  • 09:16 - 09:22

    the negative effects of being amongst microbes being amongst um vectors of

  • 09:22 - 09:28

    carriers such as insects that can potentially spread harmful infectious disease.

  • 09:28 - 09:32

    So from this the advantage that we learn from this is learning

  • 09:32 - 09:38

    to um have a better waste management system to clean our water sources

  • 09:38 - 09:45

    to use pesticides maybe not to extend um how heavily toxin pesticides can be

  • 09:45 - 09:51

    but there are natural ones that can kill off certain bugs or mosquitoes.

  • 09:52 - 09:57

    We have a negative impact of the um

  • 09:57 - 10:01

    crops dying from mostar prematurely rotting

  • 10:01 - 10:04

    from certain diseases. And this comes

  • 10:05 - 10:06

    into

  • 10:06 - 10:12

    the workings of it causing um inflation of food sources.

  • 10:12 - 10:18

    It causes famine amongst communities around the world, tribes around the world.

  • 10:19 - 10:24

    So we have agricultural methods which is an advantage so we can um

  • 10:25 - 10:31

    we could use the biotechnology to alter the D. N. A.

  • 10:31 - 10:35

    That way we're selecting the um strands of D. N. A.

  • 10:35 - 10:39

    Or strands of that um plant that can be really existed

  • 10:39 - 10:44

    against those molds and conditions we could do um no till

  • 10:44 - 10:49

    agricultural ng where we're not tossing up microbes and causing the

  • 10:49 - 10:53

    plants to become effective because now we have a higher crop yield

  • 10:55 - 10:57

    and many applications of microcystis.

  • 10:57 - 11:00

    This so many of them and whether it is

  • 11:00 - 11:04

    for protection whether it's for um oral tolerance.

  • 11:05 - 11:09

    But the top five once I pick was water treatment of the anaerobic

  • 11:09 - 11:15

    processes in which we're letting nature do its thing and reading some of

  • 11:15 - 11:20

    the bacteria instead of dousing a bunch of chemicals killing that process um

  • 11:20 - 11:26

    And water treatment facilities we use microbes and bacteria to kill off um

  • 11:26 - 11:35

    other microbes in that water and the um that degradation foundation of that helps

  • 11:35 - 11:40

    get rid of like oils and toxins in that water in that water treatment process

  • 11:40 - 11:42

    it helps us with our immunity.

  • 11:42 - 11:50

    It um as long as we're exposed to microbes are body learns to either accept or reject.

  • 11:50 - 11:51

    But um

  • 11:51 - 11:55

    expect exposure helps build a stronger immune

  • 11:55 - 11:59

    system or resistance to particular food allergy

  • 12:01 - 12:02

    antibiotic production.

  • 12:02 - 12:10

    So um antibiotics are made from soil microbes or from fungi that helps uh

  • 12:10 - 12:14

    kill certain bad microbes whether by destroying

  • 12:14 - 12:17

    their cell walls or killing their D.

  • 12:17 - 12:26

    N. A. Or in the stop reproduction of micro's. So microbes um can reproduce matters.

  • 12:26 - 12:31

    And minutes binary vision of um when you see microbes in the microscope.

  • 12:31 - 12:37

    So anna fox the do help put a stop to that. But now microbes um

  • 12:37 - 12:41

    are coming back with a vengeance because there is no such thing as um

  • 12:42 - 12:48

    antibiotic resistance where people are not um utilizing antibiotics correctly.

  • 12:48 - 12:56

    And now microbes are mutating and where once was affecting us is now affecting us.

  • 12:57 - 12:58

    We have

  • 12:58 - 13:03

    um that it promotes substance for human health, our gut bacteria,

  • 13:03 - 13:08

    our gut microbiota, things we're used to eating.

  • 13:08 - 13:10

    So it comes from

  • 13:10 - 13:14

    how we process certain foods and that vitamin K.

  • 13:14 - 13:18

    And green leafy vegetables is good for your gut health which I had no idea about.

  • 13:18 - 13:22

    Um I enjoy um korean dish of kimchi and didn't

  • 13:22 - 13:26

    know that the properties of the lactic acid helps for um

  • 13:27 - 13:28

    um gut

  • 13:28 - 13:29

    microbiota.

  • 13:30 - 13:33

    Um You have yogurts,

  • 13:33 - 13:39

    uh um Probiotics that help with that that way our digestive system can better um

  • 13:39 - 13:41

    absorb nutrients.

  • 13:42 - 13:47

    So all the nutrient cycles are good. Everything on this earth.

  • 13:47 - 13:53

    Everything that thrives and live off of the communalism, communalism,

  • 13:53 - 13:56

    mutual ism characteristics can be parasitic but

  • 13:56 - 13:59

    nonetheless the boss recycled nitrogen cycle,

  • 13:59 - 14:00

    photosynthesis.

  • 14:00 - 14:01

    Um

  • 14:01 - 14:04

    Water cycle sulfur cycles. These are

  • 14:04 - 14:11

    things that the constant cycles of um um that affects the hierarchy of the

  • 14:12 - 14:14

    um food chain

  • 14:15 - 14:16

    and the different troves.

  • 14:16 - 14:21

    De composers, things like that help circulate and move about.

  • 14:21 - 14:26

    The microbes are on earth and this is highly important in order to maintain

  • 14:26 - 14:31

    that symbiosis and equilibrium amongst the microbes

  • 14:31 - 14:34

    that we share a relationship with.

  • 14:37 - 14:41

    Alright overall so much to be learned from microbiology,

  • 14:41 - 14:46

    I gotta talk more about this but the recording only lets me for president do it for

  • 14:47 - 14:48

    Um 15 minutes.

  • 14:48 - 14:51

    But I appreciate all your lectures and I appreciate

  • 14:51 - 14:56

    um learning about microbes are more than just harm.

  • 14:56 - 14:59

    It is good to have a good summer
