Chapter 253 Bacteria under the microscope
Not only Shanhai City, but also this new type of Legion disease epidemic is erupting in many countries and regions around the world.
This is a global disaster.
At this rate of transmission, if effective containment cannot be carried out, the global society can collapse within one month.
Even if each person has his own thoughts, governments of various countries can only stand together for the time being, and scientific researchers and medical personnel from all countries will race against time together.
Huaxia first produced PCR results, Legionella pneumophila.
It was also the earliest report that erythromycin has no effect.
I just announced new clues to the secret departments of many countries that the bacteria was artificially created and spread: the next life meeting, the old man with a haggard face, and perhaps the Lalaye Church...
The Tianji Bureau personnel are on the front line. The country has also sent several ships to the waters near Shanhai City by sea. The fleet has a complete scientific research equipment and a scientific research team. Helicopters transport samples and patients from Shanhai City, and conduct various experiments on the ship.
If there is an epidemic in the fleet, all people will not be evacuated.
From the moment they set out, they had only two results, success or death.
A batch of samples and patients have been transported from Jiangxing Town, and at the front line of the epidemic area of Jiangxing Town Hospital, everyone did not give up on the battle.
The noise outside was chaotic, and the small laboratory was in a mess. The newly installed PCR amplification instrument and other equipment were placed on the experimental table, and the cough kept ringing.
He Feng has long been quarantined, as have his deputy Li Wen and other test personnel, but they are still wearing third-level protective clothing, not only to relieve their anxiety, but also to reduce the concentration of bacteria in the air. Although they are all polluted and they are infected, they cannot lose their disease control ethics.
Once they are thrown away, they are afraid that something will collapse in their hearts and will never be able to pick it up again.
The bacterial culture made from the Kingdom's new blood sputum sample is placed in the small constant temperature incubator in the corner.
When they opened it before, He Feng and the others were all surprised, and Uncle Dan who followed him was also shocked.
It's not because of the strange smell that they didn't smell it.
It was the glass disc Petri dish that had formed clusters of colonies, round, off-white, moist and shiny, with slight bulges.
This is the colony characteristic of Legionella pneumophila.
"How long has this been cultivated?" Uncle Dan asked.
"About 34 hours." He Feng coughed, "The culture medium has not been changed in the middle."
Looking at the culture medium that was almost exhausted in the Petri dish, Uncle Dan was silent. The reproduction speed was fast, too fast.
There are four periods of microbial growth: a delay period, a logarithmic period, a stable period, and a decline period.
The stable period is also called the highest growth period or constant period. In the words of medical books: Due to the consumption of nutrients in the culture medium and the accumulation of harmful metabolites, the reproduction rate of microorganisms gradually decreases, the number of deaths slowly increases, and the number of growth, division and death bacterial cells is in a dynamic equilibrium state.
It takes a process to cultivate bacteria to this highest point.
But in the current situation, the bacteria in the Petri dish seem to have entered a period of decline - the culture medium is not rich enough nutrients, and the bacteria die more than they are alive. This speed is several times faster than ordinary intracellular parasites and ordinary hematopoietic Legionella, and it is simply reproductive and growing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
And they die too slowly, and the colonies during the decay should not have this texture unless there are a lot of living bacteria inside.
So what do they consume? Are there really "harmful metabolites" for them?
He Feng's chills were even more severe, and it originally took more than ten days of breeding to complete one day.
This is why the patient's condition develops so quickly. Now every minute and every second, in the macrophages in the lung tissue of these infected people, this new Legionella is reproducing wildly, eroding more lung areas and damaging various systems throughout the body.
Judging from the speed of the development of the new disease in the Kingdom, in another ten hours, he will lose all his strength and gradually become unconscious.
For the sake of his daughter, He Feng hopes that he can struggle for a while.
Maybe it was the work that took a turn for the moment.
Everyone probably had this mood to separate the bacteria quickly, put some of the colonies into another culture bottle, sealed them, and then handed them to a team of task forces to take them away and transport them to the fleet.
There are more equipment and drugs out there that can do more bacterial sensitivity tests to antibiotics, various tests to find the weaknesses of this bacteria.
Then they worked hard and took the Petri dish under a high-precision microscope that was also brought to observe the bacteria.
"This ghost thing..." Uncle Dan muttered, "Look at what it looks like."
Uncle Dan leaned towards the eyepiece of the microscope. It was really not easy to wear this airtight protective suit. I finally saw it a little. Uncle Dan felt nervous, and his spirit seemed to be affected and shook, a little depressed.
Under the microscope, Legionella is an oblong, like a capsule.
But if you zoom in and count, you can see that its surface is actually bumpy, crowded with stuff like the brain and the intestines.
That way, it looks like a worm.
Now this new type of Legionella is still oblong, and there seem to be some obvious spots on the surface.
But magnify the magnification, then magnify...
However, the spots on its surface are extended like limbs, constantly twisting and swinging.
It seemed that various limbs were taken out from the limb warehouse in hell and spliced them up. Then, magnified them, and you could see... The "palm" of each limb had a hole like a mouth, and other tissues were squirming inside...
Is this artificially created? Uncle Dan felt even heavier in his heart. He was such a lunatic.
"Ahem." He Feng also made an observation. This was the most bizarre and deformed bacteria he had seen in years of disease control.
At this time, the door of the small laboratory was pushed open, and a group of young men in airtight protective clothing walked in with guns.
The man in the lead had a terrifying face. He Feng and the others were stunned for a moment. Was it caused by severe burns? It doesn't look like...
"Ajun!" Uncle Dan shouted immediately, as if he had found his backbone and his fighting spirit was a little higher, "Come and take a look at this thing."
He Feng thought about it, Gu Jun, Doctor Gu! The superiors had explained that Doctor Gu was a hero in the secret department.
"Doctor Gu!" He Feng couldn't help but shout, tears almost burst out, save us, save my daughter...
From the time Gu Jun walked into this laboratory, he felt a sense of illusion. He nodded to everyone and greeted everyone, then strode towards the microscope.
