7 million infections and 99,000 deaths annually in the United States costing us approximately $17-29 billion a year (Center for Disease Control, n.d). HAIs can lead to increased hospitals stays, increased use of diagnostic tests, treatment and antibiotics. The Joint Commission added the reduction of Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infections (CLABSI), reduction of Surgical Site Infections (SSI) and the reduction, incidence and transmission of Multi-drug Resistant Organisms (MDRO) as new HAI…

inhaler (DPI) is an emerging approach to combat drug-resistant local infections. To achieve high dose delivery, highly aerosolizable powders are required. We hypothesized that co-spray-drying kanamycin, a hydrophilic hygroscopic antibiotic, with rifampicin, a hydrophobic antibiotic, would under suitable spray-drying conditions, produce particles in the inhalable size with surfaces enriched in rifampicin. We reasoned that such particles would have good aerosolization properties, would overcome…

Bacterial infections have plagued man for centuries. Some of the oldest pathogens, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi.is known as Salmonella Typhi and students could confuse them with any other of the many many forms of Salmonella enterica at first glance. We know this bacterium as the cause of Typhoid. In the world of microbiology, it is known to be gram negative, it does not hold the violet dye in testing. It is both aerobic and anaerobic. In other words, it is a facultative anaerobe. It…

Louis Pasteur was a French microbiologist and chemist who pioneered a legendary scientific path of discovery. Pasteur was among the first to develop a method for creating a bacteria-based vaccine. His studies of bacteria still have an effect upon many scientific fields today. Although Pasteur has historical discoveries related to food borne bacteria, I will largely focus upon his discovery of the Anthrax vaccine. Pasteur’s discovery of the Anthrax vaccine took place…

(Campbell, 2007). Exposure to toxins is often the result of the administration of therapeutic agents or medications for the treatment of other primary diagnoses. These medications fall into several classes including: aminoglycoside antibiotics, antineoplastic drugs, other antibiotics, antimalarial drugs, loop diuretics, and salicylates. To date, there are over 200 over-the-counter and prescription medications that are known ototoxic articles. (Fausti et. al, 2007). This document will…

Sofosbuvir is a drug or antiviral molecule used to treat hepatitis C. It is an antiviral drug which is developing as it has low side effects, high barrier to resistance, a high potency and oral administration. It has a great benefit in the treatment of Hepatitis C patients. It is a small molecule which has a strong therapeutic potential and its specificity and activity have been enhanced. In Hepatitis C virus, Sofosbuvir is a highly potent inhibitor of the NS5B polymerase. Bräu (2005) has argued…

Why Do Sustenance Hypersensitivities Happen? "As per a study discharged in 2013 by the Communities for Sickness Control and Avoidance, nourishment hypersensitivities among youngsters expanded roughly half somewhere around 1997 and 2011" (Charge) Sustenance sensitivities have dependably been around, yet despite everything we don't know precisely why it is that they create in our bodies. There are numerous hypotheses that appear to be on track in finding a genuine purpose behind the reason for…

CLOSTRIDIUM TETANI Introduction Clostridium tetani is a microorganism that has effected the lives of many people. This bacteria is the cause of the disease many people have come to know as Tetanus. It infects its victims by releasing a toxin in the human body that causes an infection in the nervous system (Hassel, 2013). The first experimentations with Tetanus began in the 1800’s when scientists began infecting animals with samples from infected humans. In 1889, one scientist by the name…
