Jones,R.D et al (2000) gave a review of effectiveness and safety in health care settings. Triclosan is a widely accepted antimicrobial ingredient because of its safety and antimicrobial efficacy. Triclosan is a unique antimicrobial well suited for use in the health care industry in which mildness is a necessity to protect the health care worker during repeated use and antimicrobial activity is a necessity to protect public health. Triclosan has demonstrated immediate, persistent, broad-spectrum antimicrobial effectiveness and utility in clinical health care settings. [44]
Braid, et al (2002) carried out study on the antibacterial activity of triclosan-impregnated storage boxes against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa,

    Antimicrobial Agents Against Microorganisms

    For instance penicillin is known to be effective against gram positive bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus of which during its activity forms surface protein that binds and leads to the osmotic lysis (Willey et al, 2011 page832). However, there are some emergences of bacteria resistance to penicillin causing pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus infections know as Methicillin – resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (Chaitow, 1998) commonly found in hospitals. The results showed that Ciprofloxacin (C) was effective against S. aureus solid proof backing the literature that the drug has capabilities against gram-negative species better than Gram –positive (Heritage et al, 1999).…

    Comparison Between Lysol And Lactobacillus Acid

    The hypothesis was rejected after the testing due to certain chemicals not performing what was standardized and predicted by the hypothesis. According to the overall averages, the number one most effective was Betadine with an average of 36.33mm, Hand soap was second, third was Lysol, Isopropyl alcohol scored fourth, fifth place was Germ X, and seventh had the smallest average of 7mm which was Neosporin. Betadine was expected to have a high score due to its popularity in treating wounds but the products with the shocking results were Germ X and isopropyl alcohol. Both chemicals are made from alcohol that is said to be effective against bacteria but both scored very low.…

    Hand Hygiene Research Paper

    Hand Hygiene is considered “the most important measure for preventing the spread of pathogens in health- care settings” because it reduces the spread of pathogenic organisms to patients and health- care workers. Studies in the mid 1800s showed that hospital acquired nosocomial infections and diseases were spread by the hands of healthcare workers. In the 1980s, the first national guidelines for hand washing were published, and many other guidelines followed. The US public health service released a training video in 1961 that demonstrated recommended hand washing techniques for healthcare workers. The video recommended washing hands with soap and water for one to two minutes before and after coming in contact with a patient.…

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.…

    Essay On Contact Precautions

    During my clinical rotation at Palmetto Richland on the Acute Care for the Elderly unit there were several patients on contact precautions due primarily to Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or high counts of gram-positive Escherichia coli bacterium (E. coli) in the urine and blood. A good example of best practice that I witnessed was the proper display and implementation of contact precautions around patients with multidrug-resistant organisms and bacteria (MDROs). If a patient is placed on contact precautions on this ACE unit floor, a large blue hanging bag, called an isolation precaution bag, is hung outside their room containing gloves and gowns. The nurse is to put on the glove and gown before entering the room and making contact with the patient.…

    Antimicrobial Resistance: A Global Problem

    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…

    Introduction Dr. Sharon Van Sell and Ionnanis A. Kalofissudis have examined the complexity of nursing as a profession. As theorist, they discuss the integrity of nursing while nurses give holistic care to their patients. They examine the nurse as an individual and as professional (Van Sell and Kalofissudis, 2010). Nurses have become coordinators of care, healthcare coaches, and navigators of the healthcare system. With the national initiative to improve the access of quality care, nursing is a multidimensional system of patterns that influences multiple facets of individuals and organizations.…

    Syphilis 20th Century

    The 20th century saw a series of remarkable discoveries that changed the face of medical practice. Among the most important was the discovery of antimicrobial agents, beginning with the synthesis of arsphenamine by Paul Ehrlich as the century dawned [1]. With this discovery, the dreaded scourge of syphilis was brought under control, although not eradicated. However, the toxicity of the drug made it less than ideal as an antimicrobial agent.…

    Hospital Acquired Infections: A Literature Review

    Hospital acquired infections are particularly challenging because many of these infections have developed antibiotic resistance (Pollack, 2010; Rosenberg, 2015). However, most hospital acquired infections are preventable through a variety of techniques, including the use of hand washing, equipment sterilization, use of gloves, sanitizing surfaces, among other things (Mehta et al., 2014; Monistrol, Calbo, Riera, Nicolas, Font, Freixas, & Garau, 2012; U.S Department of Health and Human Services, 2015). The key here is consistency, and a hospital culture committed to reducing and even eliminating hospital acquired…
