Antibiotic resistance

ESKAPE pathogens are six organisms that bring a huge threat to human, because they are drug-resistance. Scientists have not found antibiotics that are effective since the pathogens are multi-drug resistance. Multi-drug resistance is top three on global public health that are mostly caused by nosocomial infections (hospital-acquired infection caused by bacteria, fungal and viral, parasites and other pathogens). The six pathogens are Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella…

bacteriostatic prevent and/or reduce growth (Madigan et al, 2012). Harmful pathogens are targeted with different antimicrobial agents according to their toxicity in order to sufficiently eliminate them. Such agents include disinfectants, Antiseptic, and Antibiotics. Microorganisms are prevented, killed and eliminated from living tissue and on inanimate objects through application of disinfectants and antiseptics…

What is an infection An infection happens when an organism such as bacteria feeds off of its host. It lives in that person and multiplies. This causes the area to become red and hurt. Because of the one way benefit to the organisms they are known as parasitic organisms. There are lots of bacteria on earth and our bodies are mostly made up of bacteria that live inside us but don 't cause harm because they live symbiotically with their host. There are manny different kinds of infections…

industry’s actions have led to new antibiotics being created at a slowing rate, which could mean trouble for those who become infected with superbugs. In the article “Meeting the Societal Need for New Antibiotics: the Challenges for the Pharmaceutical Industry“ Seamus O’Brien (2015), an employee of AstraZeneca, one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical corporations, stated “There are significant challenges for the pharmaceutical industry to discover and develop new antibiotics including a…

000 of them die” (Could Antibiotics in Meat). These drug resistant bacteria all spur from an overuse in antibiotics that are administered to the animals through the caretaker, and with no publicizing of the amount of antibiotics administered by the meat industry, accurate information is difficult to locate. Evidence shows the use of antibiotics in the livestock we eat leads to a negative impact on public health by means of infections, inability to respond to certain antibiotic treatment,…

The two antibiotics that prevented the growth of the bacteria were erythromycin and penicillin. The antibiotic that had no effect on the S. pneumoniae was neomycin. The zone of inhibition (displayed in figures 1 and 2) produced by the saturated penicillin disk was 29.2 mm. Erythromycin had a zone of inhibition…

their resistance to antibiotics. As a result of increasing prescription potency, clinicians are supposed to be conscious of those patients who are more inclined to infection by prescribing the appropriate antibiotics on the basis of their sensitivities along with their cultures (Fleming et al., 2006). A recent case study by Fleming and his colleagues showed the presence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureas (MRSA), a strain of Staphylococcus aureas that has relatively strong antibiotic…

the next major break-through in health-care associated infections is for microbiologists to find out how to kill these “superbugs” and make them less resilient in the havoc that they have been releasing on humanity. This may be in a new, stronger antibiotic that is able to disarm and kill these…

marcescens has an intrinsically high resistance to a broad spectrum of antibiotics, in the late 1970s S. marcescens was usually susceptible to kanamycin and always susceptible to gentamicin in vitro (Yu et al., 1979), but reports later emerged about strains that were resistant to a broad range of antibiotics, including gentamicin (Meyer et al., 1976; Yu et al., 1979) today, the literature is filled with cases of S. marcescens’ resistance to almost every class of antibiotic in use, although some…

Regulate Use of Antibiotics In our society, it is common for us to believe most advertisements if, we are only aware of the side they show us. In cases, like the use of antibiotics in livestock, we are told that it helps the production of meat, but the fact that even a small proportion of antibiotics might put our health at risk is frightening. Farm factories are using antibiotics incorrectly. Their whole purpose is to ensure the health of farm animals. This has been lost exclusively for the…
