Greetings to all the colleagues of the popular community, excellent steem community that has a lot of important information in terms of science and technology.

The topic I will talk about has to do with science, since it deals with a bacterium called staohyloccocus ephydermidis, which despite being offensive can become dangerous for humans.

Yes, this harmless bacterium is normally found lodged in the skin and nose of humans and strains capable of adhering not only to the skin but also to catheters, artificial joints, heart valves and even lodge in the bloodstream.

Through studies carried out by scientists they have discovered that this bacterium acquires genetic material from another bacterium called Staphylococcus aureus, which is very dangerous.

This genetic material that they subtract from the other bacteria is called teichoic acid, this acid is transported from bacteria to bacteria through a virus that is responsible for infecting the bacteria.

In this case, the virus called bacteriophages transports the staohiloccocus aureas gene to the staohilococus epidermidis and this acquires the potency of the aureas, going from being harmless to a harmful and fatal pathogen.

This new discovery in this bacterium is of great importance for scientists, and through it they will be able to develop in the future a better treatment or an effective vaccine for the highly dangerous bacterium Staphilocopcus epidermidiss 23.

here I end with this information friends take care.
