Urosepsis Urosepsis is an infection that has spread to the blood (sepsis) from the urinary tract. The urinary tract includes the kidneys, the tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder (ureters), the bladder, and the tube that passes urine out of the body (urethra). These organs make, store, and pass urine from the body. Urosepsis is a severe illness that can be life-threatening if it is not treated immediately. CAUSES The cause of this condition is a bacterial infection that starts in…

Reflux of vesicoureteral, post voiding residuals, outlet obstruction, urinary tract stones and bladder over distension (6). These patients are exposed to antibiotics because of frequent infections that may be an important risk factor for resistant microorganism infection (7). Today, UTI may be difficult to treat in SCI patient because of antibiotic resistant organisms. The SCI patients also colonized by resistant organisms because of recurrent and prolong hospitalization (8). The main causative…

operate and we have certain standard precautions we need to follow before, during and after surgery. Staphylococcus Aureus is a very common bacteria. Meticillen resistant staphylococcus aureus is a strain of this bacteria that is resistant to some antibiotics that are commonly used to treat staphylococcal infections. Bacteria are single celled microbes that are found everywhere, every habitat has them and they are carried on every human and animal, some bacteria are good and some are bad. Good…

In the past term, I completed multiple labs including determining transpiration in bean plant leave and testing bacterial resistance to antibiotics through bacterial transcription. As a kinesthetic learner, I was delighted to be able to work with the material. Moreover, this style of interacting learning proved to be overwhelmingly beneficial as it both increased my passion for biology to unprecedented…

microbiota. Studies have shown that the gut microbiota enhance the synthesis of neurotransmitters by cells lining the gut, fortify the blood-brain barrier by producing short-chain fatty acids and regulate the immune system. The widespread use of antibiotics, processed foods, agricultural chemicals and chlorinated or fluorinated water has been harmful to the gut flora of humans. Fermented foods and probiotics, which contain live microbes, are being used to remedy this problem.…

occurs when nephron tubules and/or filtration abilities of the kidneys become altered. For example, sulfonamides can crystallize in the kidney and form stones that obstruct urine flow. 2. Describe the three major side effects that may occur with antibiotic use. The major side effects of drugs fall into one…

measures to implement infection control procedures for the safety of themselves and other involved. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) describes a number of strains of bacteria, staphylococcus aureus, that are resistant to a number of antibiotics, which include methicillin (NHMRC 2010). It lives…

Antiseptics are used to treat and prevent infection on skin, but many antiseptic products use different active ingredients to kill or slow the growth of bacteria. Several commonly used antiseptics contain active ingredients include isopropyl alcohol, iodine, chlorohexidine gluconate, and hydrogen peroxide. The use for products with these ingredients also depends on the type of wound since certain active ingredients have different mechanisms for killing bacteria. However, a growing concern in…

diarrhea etc. • Pineapple: This fruit is rich in vitamin- A, C, and B, with manganese, which is useful in metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates. The presence of Bromelain enzyme in pineapple is used for digesting proteins and enhances medical antibiotics due to its antibacterial properties. • Tea Tree Oil: it used as a skin disinfectant like athlete's foot, acne and wound healing. • Lavender: Lavender is a natural antiseptic and astringent which helps with minor skin…

this ability of S. marcescens it is resistant to a wide range of antibiotics including narrow-spectrum-penicillins and cephalosporins, cefuroxime, cephamycins, macrolides, tetracycline, nitrofurantoin and colistin (Celine 2010-2014). Treatment is with 3rd-generation cephalosporins, cefepime, carbapenems, fluoroquinolones, piperacillin/tazobactam, or aminoglycosides. However, because some isolates are resistant to multiple antibiotics, susceptibility testing is essential (Bush 2014). One recent…
