was first discovered in the 1940s, it was primary treated with various antibiotics, but since then Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), antibiotic resistant strains have development. Since the 1960s, the development of different strains, hospital-acquired MRSAs (HA-MRSA), community-acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA) and livestock-associated MRSA (LA-MRSA), represent sub-groups of MRSA all of which are resistant to [beta]-lactam antibiotics, including penicillin, amoxicillin, oxacillin and methicillin.…

Over the last seventy years or so, the healthcare industry has been working towards the ideal way to treat all patients. Beginning in the 1940’s, researchers were dedicated to treating patients with infections. However, in the more recent years we are trying a different approach. The United State health care industry is emphasizing more about preventing the spread of infection and educating our patients. Regardless of the standard of care, they will need to continue to adjust how nursing can…

environment and hospitalized patients causing nosocomial infection [1]. This bacterium is responsible for causing several diseases in human such as pneumonia, urinary tract infection, Meningitis, wound infection, and blood infection [2]. Many classes of antibiotics such as Aminoglycosides, Carbapenems, Macrolides, and Penicillins are used to treat these infections. However, A. baumannii known as Multidrug resistant Actinobacter baumannii (MRAB) which gives…

advantages more than antibiotics [39]. First of all, phages have a broad antibacterial activity even against antibiotic resistance bacteria [124, 125, 126] like MRSA as phage can be used as sanitizing agent against hospital acquired infections like MRSA [86]. Also a phage (pVp-1) was able to overcome the resistant strain of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in experimentally infected mice [127]. Phages can lyse bacteria in the supurrative wounds, mucous membrane and biofilm which are antibiotics…

by touching surfaces contaminated with feces, then touch your mouth. Symptoms include nausea, cramps, and diarrhea. These symptoms can become extremely severe that it is often disabling. You can take a highly strong antibiotic which can permanently kill C-diff. However, the antibiotic will destroy other useful bacteria in the gut, causing more problems later on. You can also…

Kanamycin acts by binding to the active site of the small s-ribosomal subunit, an important functioning part of the organelle. Kanamycin inhibits the synthesis of the protein by causing an increased amount of mistranslation. The other antibiotics used in the experiment are Tetracycle and Streptomycin, both which act in different methods than Kanamycin. An important factor in the experiment, and the genesis of our discovery, was the UV mutations in the bacterial genome. UV light is an extremely…

most devastating epidemics to mankind, second only to smallpox. Humans can become infected after being bitten by fleas that have fed on infected rodents. The plague develops rapidly and carries a high fatality rate despite immediate treatment and antibiotics. It has been used on various occasions because it’s difficult to detect and symptoms aren’t shown until several days. Bioterrorism is a serious threat, so knowing the precautions can be life saving. The Plague and Bioterrorism “A…

product (hydrogen peroxide, Pine-sol, Clorox Bleach, Mr Clean antibacterial liquid cleaner) is the best inhibitor of K12 Escherichia coli (E. coli) growth? The manipulated variable was the cleaning product or disinfectant on used of the Whatman antibiotic assay paper disc. The dependent variable is the zone of inhibition of the prokaryotic bacteria E. coli. In topic one IB requires that we learn about Eubacteria, traditional bacteria that are typically pathogenic, E. coli fall into this…

Coli, (Images 1.1,1.2), (Images 2.1,2.2), (Images 3.1,3.2) no antibiotic activity was detected. This could be a result of the putative colonies chosen, not being Streptomyces. All selected colonies were white, or pigmented rink, raised and rough. One (1) and three (3) were inoculated with the putative Streptomyces colonies. Plate 2 was inoculated with the control Streptomyces colony. Although it was determined that the activity of antibiotics was inconclusive no raised colonies were visible…

are now being used to cure infections. “Canadian researchers tried this method on 27 patients and cured all of them after strong antibiotics failed to help.” What these researchers have done is they have proved that these pills have worked and have done their job to help cure infections. This is a serious problem. Many americans get C-diff every year. There is an antibiotic that cures c-diff but kills good bacteria which can make infections more likely. Studies have shown that these poop pills…
