Chapter 253: Bacteria under the microscope


Not only Shanhai City, but also the Americas, Europe, Africa, Oceania, and many countries and regions around the world are experiencing outbreaks of this new type of Legionnaires ’disease.
This is a global disaster.
At this rate of propagation, if effective containment is not possible, the global society can collapse within a month.
Even if they are thinking about each other, governments of all countries can only stand together for the time being, and scientific researchers and medical personnel from various countries will race against time together.
The PCR results were first published here in China, Legionella pneumophila.
It was also reported that erythromycin had no effect.
A new clue has just been notified to the secret departments of many countries. The germ is artificially manufactured and spread: the afterlife meeting, the elderly with a sorrowful face, and perhaps the Laleiya Church ...
The staff of the Tianji Bureau is at the forefront. The country has also dispatched many ships to reach the waters near Shanhai City from the sea. The fleet has complete scientific research equipment and scientific research teams. Helicopters transport samples and patients from Shanhai City to conduct various experiments on board.
If an outbreak of the fleet occurs, all people will still not be evacuated.
From the moment they set off, they have only two outcomes, success or death.
A batch of samples and patients have been shipped out from Jiangxing Town, and at the front line of the epidemic area in Jiangxing Town Hospital, everyone did not give up the fight.
There was noisy outside, the mess in the small laboratory, the new PCR equipment and other equipment were resting on the experimental table, and the coughing sound continued to sound.
He Feng is no longer isolated, as are his deputy Li Wen and other inspectors, but they still wear third-level protective clothing, not only to reduce their anxiety, but also to reduce the concentration of bacteria in the air. Although they are all polluted here, they are all infected, but the disease control behavior can not be lost.
Once lost, they were afraid that something in their hearts would collapse and they would never be able to pick it up again.
For the bacterial culture made with Wang Guoxin's blood sputum samples, the petri dish is placed in the small constant temperature incubator in the corner.
When they opened before, He Feng and they were all surprised, and the uncle Egg who followed them was also surprised.
It's not because of the smell, they didn't smell it.
It's the glass disc culture dish that has formed a cluster of colonies, round, off-white, moist and shiny, slightly raised.
This is exactly the colony characteristics of Legionella pneumophila.
"How long has it been training?" Uncle Egg asked.
"About 34 hours." He Feng coughed. "The medium has not been changed in the middle."
Looking at the culture medium in the petri dish that was almost exhausted, Uncle Egg was silent. This breeding speed was fast, too fast.
There are four periods of microbial growth, slow period, log period, stable period, and recession period.
The stable period is also called the highest growth period or constant period. In the words of medical literature: due to the consumption of nutrients in the medium and the accumulation of harmful metabolites, the reproduction rate of microorganisms in this period gradually decreases, the number of deaths increases slowly, and the number of bacterial cells that grow and divide and die is in a dynamic equilibrium state.
It takes a process to cultivate bacteria to this highest point.
But in the immediate situation, the bacteria in the petri dish seem to have entered a period of decline-the nutrients in the medium are not enough, and the bacteria die more than they live. This speed is several times faster than that of ordinary intracellular parasites and common blood-thirsty legionella bacteria, and it can reproduce and grow at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
And they die too slowly, and the colonies in the recession period should not be of this texture, unless a large number of them are live bacteria.
What do they consume? For them, are there really "harmful metabolites"?
The symptoms of He Feng's chills were more severe, and it would have taken more than a dozen days to breed one day.
This is why the patient's condition develops so quickly. Now every minute and every second, in the macrophages of the lung tissues of these infected people, this new legionella is breeding wildly, eroding more of the lung area and damaging various systems throughout the body.
Counting on the speed of Wang Guoxin's disease development, he will become weak all over another ten hours, and he will gradually lose his mind.
For his daughter, He Feng hopes he can struggle for a while longer.
Perhaps it was the turn of the work in this period.
With such a mood, everyone quickly separated these bacteria, put a part of the colony in another culture bottle, sealed it, and then handed it to a team of special personnel to take it to the fleet.
There are more equipment and medicines, and more bacteria can be tested for antibiotic sensitivity and various tests to find the weakness of this bacteria.
Then they worked again and again, took the petri dish under the high-precision microscope that was also brought in to observe the bacteria.
"This ghost thing ..." Uncle Egg murmured, "Look what it looks like."
Uncle Egg leaned towards the eyepiece of the microscope, because wearing this air-tight protective suit was really not an easy task, and finally I saw it. Uncle Egg's heart tightened, and his spirit seemed to be affected, shaking and a little flustered Feeling.
Under the microscope, the general legionella bacteria appear as an oblong, like a capsule.
But if you enlarge the accompaniment number, you can see that its surface is actually bumpy ~ EbookFREE.me ~ is full of things like brains and intestines.
In that way, it looks like a worm.
But now this new type of Legionella is still oblong, with some obvious spots on the surface.
But magnify, then zoom in ...
The spots on its surface are all stretched out like a limb, constantly twisting and swinging.
It seems to take out various limbs from the limb warehouse of and stitch them up, then zoom in, and you see ... its "palm" of each limb has a hole like a mouth , There are other organizations creeping ...
Is this artificially made? Uncle Egg looked even heavier, really crazy.
"Cough." He Feng then made observations. This is the most weird and deformed bacterium he has seen in years of disease control work.
At this time, the door of the small laboratory was pushed open, and a group of several young men in gas-tight protective suits came in with guns.
The face of the man headed was horrifying. He Feng froze for a while. Was it caused by severe burns? Not quite like ...
"Ajun!" Uncle Egg immediately cried, as if he had found the backbone of his heart, his fighting spirit rose a little, "Come and see this thing."
He Feng wants to come over, Gu Jun, Doctor Gu! I have confessed it before, and Dr. Gu is the hero in that secret department.
"Doctor Gu!" He Feng exclaimed, tears almost burst out, save us, save my daughter ...
When Gu Jun walked into this laboratory, there was a feeling of illusion. He nodded to everyone, and then strode toward the microscope.
