Antibiotic resistance

According this article “Manure can spread antibiotic resistance” By Anne Ringgaard state that manure for the livestock if much greater if they do it the old way fashion where by artificial fertiliser instead of promoting in the soil with antibiotic resistance . It’s very new technology that were implanting recently and a lot of farmers are not really agreed upon, but scientific evidence finds out that soil fertilised with manure has more antibiotic resistance rather than soil that treated with…

show up resistant to antibiotics. Bacteria can develop resistance to antibiotics by creating antibiotic resistance genes through natural mutations. In the early stages of the process scientists do not know if the target plant will incorporate the new gene into its genome (haploid set of chromosomes found in an organism). But “by attaching the targeted gene to an antibiotic resistance gene the new GM plant can be tested by being grown in a lab containing the appropriate antibiotic. If the plant…

potentially find a new bacteria that is capable of producing an antibiotic against one or more of the six ESKAPE pathogens (a group of pathogens that are resistant to most if not all current antibiotics). All research protocol was based on the Yale Small World Initiative and the third edition of Microbiology Laboratory Theory & Application. One bacteria from a sample of soil collected (colony #18) was tested for its ability to produce antibiotics against two of the six ESKAPE pathogens. It…

into their office for a sick visit on which antibiotic to use for the patient to start feeling better. Nobody realizes what might go through the doctor’s head while they are choosing what medication to prescribe. My article was a study based article that studied primary care providers also known as PCP’s knowledge, and attitude regarding the topic of antibiotic resistance. The objective was to assess the factors that would influence the provider’s antibiotic choice. After reading the article…

QUESTION NUMBER 1: LIST THE PRINCIPLES OF CHEMOTHERAPEAUTIC RESISTANCE Introduction: PRINCIPLE : Principle is an essential factors or elements that may have impact on the survival mechanism, which may either be from environment or the person taking the drugs or factor participating may engineer drug resistance. RESISTANCE: It is reduction in drug's effectiveness in which the drug may be fake , adulterated or substandard .Resistance is also the ability of microbes to resist toxic effects of…

susceptible or resistant to a selection of antimicrobial agents. The outcome of this test is important for physicians in determining which antibiotics to use when treating sick patients as well as controlling the use of inappropriate antibiotics in a clinical practice. Bacteria have the ability to become resistant, therefore it is essential that advanced antibiotics are able to overcome them. Procedure I: Kirby Bauer Creating the Bacterial Lawn…

List the principles of chemotherapeutic resistance. Write short note on the one you consider most important. Answer: Resistance describes reduction in effectiveness of drug to perform its normal function. It is the ability of microbes; bacterial, fungi, virus to resist the toxic effects of drugs and grow in the presence of the same concentration of drug that will normally kill or limit its growth. The following are the principles of chemotherapeutic resistance: • Pharmaceutic factors which…

"About 3 million pounds of antibiotics are given to humans each year, but a whopping 17.8 million pounds are fed to livestock". For years, with the approval from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to treat farm animals with antibiotics, farmers were feeding their animals with drugs to compensate for their compromised immune systems due to feed additives and overcrowded conditions. This results in major health concerns as animals are fed antibiotics as a precautionary measure to…

Antibiotic creams, also known as topical ointments are preparations designed to fight bacteria on the skin. The main difference between antibiotic creams and ointments is the oil to water ratio. For instance, ointments contain an average of 80% oil and 20% water while creams contain a relatively lower oil to water ratio. This is why ointments tend to feel greasier and stickier than creams. We have chosen three antibiotic creams and three antibiotic ointments in order to find out which…

America (IDSA), antibiotic-resistant bacteria are becoming an increased problem in hospitals and communities due to the lack of antibacterial options currently available. Throughout the world, many Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens are growing more resistant to antibiotics currently on the market. The goal of this journal article is to raise awareness for the global antibiotic crisis and to hopefully encourage the community and legislative to raise funds in order to increase antibiotic…
