Antibiotic

breaking down the intestine wall. It releases toxic byproducts causing digestive issues, leaky gut and depression. How does Candida overgrowth happen? The bacterium in the gut that is not harmful keeps the levels of Candida normal. However, stress, antibiotics, oral contraceptives, refined sugar and carbohydrates and alcohol destroy the friendly bacteria in the gut. Beneficial foods such as pickles, sauerkraut and Kombucha can also cause…

Genetic Engineering is a controversial technology that has a lot of debate and discussion surrounding it. Scientists and researchers work diligently in labs to improve and experiment with the new technology, while bioethicists look at the possible effects of the technology. The effects that the bioethicists must study consist of society, future, religious, and many more. Some families are eager for the use of genetic engineering to be widespread so that they can eradicate fatal diseases or…

Results After testing the absorbance of Control and Treatment with Penicillin and Streptomycin cultures over a 160-minute time period, three phenomena for the three different cultures were recorded and made into the graphs below. An upward trend of the absorbance in the Control culture as time progresses can be observed. Compared to the upward sloping absorbance curve of Control Treatment, both absorbance curves of Penicillin Treatment and Streptomycin Treatment have different directions of…

advantages such as antibiotic resistance. One bacteria of interest is E. coli, a gram-negative organism that is part of normal human gut flora. Some strains of E. coli are pathologic to humans, however some strains are beneficial. For example, one strain produces vitamin K, an essential nutrient. In this experiment, E. coli was introduced to two plasmids: pUC18 and lux. Plasmid pUC18 contains a gene that codes for the enzyme beta-lactamase which renders ampicillin and some other antibiotics…

The best diagnostic method is culture on a selective charcoal-yeast extract medium. Respiratory specimens can be assessed by fluorescent-antibody methods and a DNA probe test. Erythromycin and other macrolide antibiotics, such as azithromycin, are the drugs of choice for treatment. Erythromycin’s mode of action is the inhibition of protein synthesis, by obstructing the tunnel. However, erythromycin is not able to enter the cell walls of most gram-negative bacilli…

disease or death. • Fungi – A single celled or multicellular organism which cause infection to a healthy body or can be opportunistic pathogens that cause infections in immunocompromised persons. Fungi is also used for good in the development of antibiotics and other drugs which are used to control a range of human diseases.…

Normal gastrointestinal bacteria have many important functions in humans. Some of them include nutrient metabolism, xenobiotic and drug metabolism, maintenance of structural integrity of the gut mucosal barrier, immunomodulation, and protection against pathogens. Scientists studying the human intestinal tract have discovered that there are over 35,000 microflora species in the human gut. For nutrient metabolism, GI microflora works to get nutrients from the breakdown and fermentation of…

conclude that the antibacterial resistance in the human body due to the over uses of antibacterial substances in personal care products us become less truthful. • Eliminating bacteria with antibacterial substances (cleansers) will prevent the need of antibiotics regularly • Hospitals and clinics rely on the need of antibacterial substances to treat sick patients without harming them further • “[T]hey have added benefit health-wise, to the healthy household. In cases of patients who are…

resistant to most antibiotics which is what makes them so difficult to treat.…

properly treated. Dogs that go on to the chronic phase have a poorer prognosis. German Shepherds and Doberman Pinschers tend to have a more severe chronic form of the disease. The drug, imidocarb dipropionate, is sometimes used in conjunction with the antibiotics. It is given as an injection, but may not be available in all areas. Some of the damage caused by Ehrlichia may be due to the dog's own immune response to the organism. For this reason, if immune-mediated arthritis or decrease in…
