Ok early posting day today again! Not too many numbers left....todays picks are 4 and 7!

4.Trichophyton mentagrophytes
Image
Trichophyton mentagrophytes is a fungi that cause athlete's foot, and is unusual in that it feeds exclusively on dead body tissue (hair, the outer layer of skin, and nails). The fungus grows best in moist, damp, dark places with poor ventilation. The problem doesn't occur among people who usually go barefoot. Many people carry the fungus on their skin, however, it will only flourish to the point of causing athlete's foot if conditions are right. Many people believe athlete's foot is highly contagious, especially in public swimming pools and shower rooms. Research has shown, however, that it is difficult to pick up the infection simply by walking barefoot over a contaminated damp floor. Sweaty feet, tight shoes, synthetic socks that don't absorb moisture well, a warm climate, and not drying the feet well after swimming or bathing, all contribute to the overgrowth of the fungus.

7. Ebola virus
Image
The Ebola virus is, in my opinion, one of the scariest microbes in this list. It gets its name from the Ebola River in the Republic of Congo, where it was first found. This nasty virus causes severe viral haemorrhagic fever outbreaks in humans that have a case fatality rate of up to 90%. The virus is transmitted to people from wild animals and spreads in the human population through human-to-human transmission. Fruit bats are considered to be the natural host of the virus. There is currently no treatment or vaccine available for either people or animals. Viral haemorrhagic fever is characterized by the sudden onset of fever, intense weakness, muscle pain, headache and sore throat, followed by vomiting, diarrhoea, rash, impaired kidney and liver function, and in many cases, both internal and external bleeding even from the eyes! It is classed as a high risk pathogen requiring specialist containment procedures and is one of the viruses on the Centre for Disease Control and Preventions’ Category A Bioterrorism Agent list......scary!

Sorry guys for the late post....I've been at my inlaws for dinner, and very lovely it was too! Anyway todays picks are 17 and 21! Surely today there must be a winner!!

17 Salmonella Typhimurium
Image
The second most common cause of food poisoning by the well known bacteria Salmonella is due to Salmonella Typhimurium (The most common is caused by Salmonella Enterica found in infected chickens). As its name suggests, it can also cause a typhoid-like disease in mice. This particular bacteria is not to be confused with the other Salmonella on the list, its close relative, Salmonella Typhi, that is the causative agent of a much more serious condition. The symptoms of S. Typhimurium poisoning are diarrhoea, abdominal cramps, vomiting and nausea, these symptoms can last up to 7 days. Unfortunately, in immunocompromised people, that is the elderly, young, or people with depressed immune systems, salmonella infections can be fatal if they are not treated with antibiotics

21 Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Image
Tuberculosis is an infectious bacterial disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which most commonly affects the lungs. If not treated properly it can be fatal. It is transmitted from person to person via droplets from the throat and lungs of people with the active respiratory disease. A person needs to inhale only a few of these germs to become infected.
About one-third of the world's population has latent TB, which means people that have been infected by the TB bacteria but are not (yet) ill with disease and cannot transmit the disease. People infected with TB bacteria have a 10 % lifetime risk of falling ill. However people with compromised immune systems, such as people living with HIV, malnutrition, diabetes or smokers, have a much higher risk of falling ill.
When a person develops active TB (disease), the symptoms (cough, fever, night sweats, weight loss etc.) may be mild for many months. This can lead to delays in seeking care, and results in transmission of the bacteria to others. People with active TB can infect up to 10-15 other people through close contact over the course of a year and without proper treatment up to two thirds of people with this form of TB will die.
• TB is second only to HIV/AIDS as the greatest killer worldwide due to a single infectious agent.
• In 2010, 8.8 million people fell ill with TB and 1.4 million died from TB.
• Over 95% of TB deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries, and it is among the top three causes of death for women aged 15 to 44.
• In 2009, there were about 10 million orphaned children as a result of TB deaths among parents.
• TB is a leading killer of people living with HIV causing one quarter of all deaths.
• Multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB) is present in virtually all countries surveyed.
