Macrolide And Tilmicosin

Improved Essays
The macrolide are a group of compounds which comparable in the structure, the vast majority of which are gotten from numerous types of Streptomyces soil-borne bacteria (Scott et al., 1996). Macrolides are effective against Gram-positive bacteria, such as Streptococcus spp. what's more, Staphylococcus spp., Mycoplasma spp, however are marginally successful against Gram-negative living beings (Botsolou and Fletouris, 2001). Tilmicosin is a bacteriostatic macrolide antibiotic got from tylosin for veterinary use only. It is predominantly viable against Mycoplasma spp., Pasteurella spp., and many Gram-positive bacteria with viability against anaerobic bacteria and some Gram-negative respiratory bacteria such as Pasteurella multocida and Mannheimia

    As a biological marker, it helped improve researchers’ understanding of the development of infections (Yang et al. 2012). However, in-depth research of this species has shown that S. marcescens is associated with numerous diseases, including respiratory tract infections and meningitis (Hejazi and Falkiner 1997). However, aminoglycosides have proven to be very effective against Serratia and are still being tested for potency towards other bacteria. Streptomycin has monumental effects on gram-negative bacteria, especially Serratia. The aminoglycoside inhibits bacterial growth by inhibiting protein synthesis during the translation step (Hester et al. 2016).…

    Case study 4 Even in the absence of a known drug target, a drug can be designed to perform a specific function through the testing of a variety of substituents. Through this, the biological activity of each substituent can be determined in order to create the final product in the form of a marketable drug. An example of this is oxamniquine, which is a drug that is active against schistosomes, the causative agent for schistosomiasis (Patrick, 2013, p. 305). Schistosomiasis, caused by three species of schistosomes, is a disease that is prevalent in much of the world, particularly in developing countries.…

    Introduction The drugs used in this experiment are Chloramphenicol and rifampicin. Both of these drugs are antibiotics however their methods of action are quite different. These drugs have different effects on the bacteria they are being used against. Rifampicin is a bactericidal drug and chloramphenicol is bacteriostatic. Bactericidal drugs interfere with the bacteria to such an extent that the bacteria die.…

    Over the years scientist have been seeking to find the most effective antibiotic against Staphylococcus epidermis. Staphylococcus epidermis is a gram-positive, that is a part of our normal flora, but affects newborns, elderly, and those using catheters or other surgical devices. This bacteria can cause infections in these patients. The infections are becoming more resistant to these antibiotics. However, the Kirby Bauer experiment is a disk diffusion test, which is used to determine if an organism is susceptible or resistant to a selection of antimicrobial agents.…

    Being an inhabitant of all environments, from aquatic to terrestrial, from soil to distilled water, from plants to humans, P. aeruginosa is the quintessence of microbial arms depot. It produces a wide range of secondary metabolites to protect its niche from other fungi and distantly related bacteria. In order to fight fellow Pseudomonads and other closely related bacterial species that may compete for common niches, all strains of P. aeruginosa also produce a broad range of bacteriocins referred to as pyocins. The two major groups of pyocins produced by P. aeruginosa are (i) S-type pyocins (colicin-like bacteriocins), (ii) Tailocins (high-molecular weight bacteriocins that resemble phage tails). S-type pyocins are colicin-like bacteriocins produced by P. aeruginosa.…

    Antibiotic resistant bacteria are bacteria that are resistant to the antibiotics that at one time were able to kill them. It is a growing issue in today’s society especially since it is unknown how these microbes are able to mutate around a treatment that was once lethal to them. The consensus in the healthcare community is that these microbes will be an increasing threat until a solution is found. There is still discussion and controversy over the best method of identification and infection control that should be put into practice to prevent the spread of multidrug resistant bacteria. However, the most prevalent controversy surrounding this topic seems to be over how the taxpayer’s money is best spent related to new treatment of these microbes,…

    Antimicrobial resistance is a global problem and is causing a serious threat to the prevention and treatment of an increasing range of diseases. The misuse of antibiotics does not cause the resistance but affects the spread of resistance. Bacteria adapt, mutate and multiply rapidly, therefore the problem cannot be solved completely, but if correct procedures will be implemented, the process can be slowed down. Without the effective global action many standard medical treatments will fail, resulting in death or disability of individuals or will turn into high risk procedures. The problem creates a need for developing stronger antibiotics in the future, but it is not certain that it can be achieved, as new antibiotics are difficult to find and…

    The lab instructor issued out a test tube labeled with letter ‘I’, which consisted of two unknown bacteria, Gram-positive or Gram-negative that were streaked from a pure culture. Sterile techniques were followed while performing precise instructions as stated in the referenced Laboratory Manual. Example 1: The first procedure performed was done by isolating a pure culture from the mixture onto a solid Trypticase soy agar (TSA) media. Sterile technique was done by flaming the loop until it turned red to ensure that there were no current bacteria on the loop avoiding contamination followed by rapidly flaming the neck of the test tube to prevent the entry and contamination of unwanted microbes.…

    A given test or media may fall into multiple categories. Selective and differential tests are generally less effective at species identification, and consequently, are normally only capable of presumptive identification (3). This lab uses different types of media that are both selective and differential. Mannitol Salt agar (MSA), which contains high levels of sodium chloride kills most bacteria that are not members of the halotolerant Staphylococcus genus. MSA also contains mannitol, which allows differential identification because an indicator detects acid produced by the fermentation of mannitol (4).…
