gram negative organisms, they are bacteria present commonly in faeces, concept of BCP

Not a pretty topic for a blog eh!

but important to know for our day to day life

The fact as it was:    when we did our medical school, we were taught that the infections causing lung infection called pneumonia is caused by a bacteria called pneumococcus.

The fact as it is:  but now a days, we are facing infections of lung caused by so called gram negative organisms!

the question:  but how does such an organism/bacteria which is usually present in faeces find its way to our lungs?

the answer:  bacteria reach our lungs obviously by air

                     they need little aeroplanes to travel in the air

                     These are called Bacteria carrying particles

The dust in the air offers nice vehicles for their travel

But if the faeces are not disposed appropriately, then there is source and the dust in the air act as little aeroplanes for them to reach us.

what should we do: Be ware of your environment
