The Need for Bacterial / Viral and Fungal Control

Recent advances in medical science, sanitization and hygiene, aided by better nutrition, have not lessened the burden of our society from infectious diseases. These are still the major cause of sufferings and a heavy drain on resources of health services throughout the world. The emergence of new pathogens and resistance of bacteria to antibiotic treatment, greater international mobility, globalization of food supplies, aging population and many other factors are bringing new challenges to infectious disease control. The implementation of good hygiene practices throughout our community, including hospitals, public transports, schools, malls, and now, in home, is inevitable. Many infectious diseases are spread within the family and good hygiene practices can help prevent the threat.

Three types of diseases:
Virus - Bacteria - Fungi

VIRUS

Viruses straddle the fence between living and non-living things. They can be found in every material and environment on Earth from soil to water to air. While existing at an inert status, they can evolve to infect every form of life, from animal to plant and from fungi to bacteria. Viruses are the smallest infectious particles that cause a number of diseases including smallpox, the common cold, chickenpox, influenza, dengue, hemorrhagic fever, shingles, herpes, polio, rabies, Ebola, hanta fever, hepatitis B, SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) and AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome).

BACTERIA

Bacteria cell

Bacteria are living cells that are larger than viruses. They can be found in food, soil, air, water and even within the bodies of animals especially in the intestines and skin.

The role of bacteria in disease and infection is important. Some bacteria are pathogenic and cause tetanus, typhoid fever, pneumonia, syphilis, cholera, foodborne illness and tuberculosis. Streptococcus, staphylococcus, or many gram-negative bacteria cause infection of the blood. The mode of infection is through contact, air, food, water, and insects.

FUNGI

Fungi cell

Fungi are the primary decomposers in many ecosystems . Examples are mushrooms, rusts, smuts, puffballs, truffles, morels, molds, and yeasts, as well as many less well-known organisms.

Fungi cause a number of plant and animal diseases. Examples of human diseases are ringworm, athlete's foot, and several more serious diseases.

One of the most common species of fungi is Aspergillus niger. It is a ubiquitous group of filamentous fungi that is commonly isolated from soil or plant debris, but is found on textiles, grains, fruits, and vegetables. It is responsible for black molds and mildews in homes.

Aspergillus niger gives off neurotoxic gases that can cause allergies and worsening of reactions, asthma and asthmatic-like symptoms, headaches, fatigue, sleep problems, and depression.
