Salmonellosis caused by Salmonella Enteritidis is the most common bacterial infectious cause of food-borne disease in the United States. Ninety-five percent of cases of Salmonella infection are food-borne; however, the incidence of direct contact exposure with animal carriers is on the rise.
But the top five reasons that people, companies and governments choose to use energy more efficiently are: 1  Energy efficiency saves you money. 2  Energy efficiency improves the economy. 3  Energy efficiency is good for the environment. 4  Energy efficiency improves national security. 5  Energy efficiency enhances quality of life.
Everything you do needs energy to drive it, whether it is running up a flight of stairs, eating breakfast, fighting off an infection, or even just producing new proteins for hair growth. The energy currency used by all cells from bacteria to man is adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Every process within an organism â DNA and protein synthesis, muscle contraction, active transport of nutrients and ions, neural activity, maintenance of osmosis, carbon fixation â requires a source of ATP. Why is ATP such a good source of energy? ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate (ribose sugar, adenine base and three phosphate groups), where a high-energy bond attaches the third phosphate group to the molecule. This bond is highly unstable, and when it is hydrolysed it releases a substantial amount of free energy (approximately 7 kcal/mole).
