Antibiotics

we established that antibiotics have harmful side effects on the environment. When animals are administered antibiotics, it kills off other bacteria and allows antibiotic resistant bacteria to survive and multiply. This causes contamination of animal waste, which then comes into contact with water, soil, or air (Food, Farm, Animals, and Drugs 2014). Horizontal gene transfer is also a big concern for the environment. In recent years, there has been an increase in antibiotic resistant bacteria…

of the problems that are likely to cause an end to life as known. Antibiotic resistance is a life-threatening problem most choose to ignore. “Each year in the United States, at least two million people become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics,” says Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2016). Doctors are prescribing antibiotics when they should not be used, or should use a weaker dose of that antibiotic. Before too long, the bacteria are going to be unstoppable and…

Antibiotics are a phenomenal class of drugs that saved many lives, since the arrival of Penicillin in the 1940s. However, the misuse and over exposure of antibiotics created antibiotic resistant pathogens, causing a substantial threat to humanity in the form of severe infections. Antibiotic resistance is a global problem that can impose a catastrophic threat to people in every country. Each year in the unites states, at least 2 million people become infected with antibiotic resistant bacteria…

The growing problem of antibiotic resistance is becoming clear in India, where 58,000 babies have died from infections that could not be cured with antibiotics (Harris, 2014). Adults are susceptible to these antibiotic resistant illnesses as well, 45 year-old singer Uppalapu Shrinivas died after contracting an infection (Harris, 2014). However, babies are at a greater risk because their immune systems are not as strong as an adults (Harris, 2014). One of the infants that died due to a resistant…

Antibiotic creams, also known as topical ointments are preparations designed to fight bacteria on the skin. The main difference between antibiotic creams and ointments is the oil to water ratio. For instance, ointments contain an average of 80% oil and 20% water while creams contain a relatively lower oil to water ratio. This is why ointments tend to feel greasier and stickier than creams. We have chosen three antibiotic creams and three antibiotic ointments in order to find out which…

are feeling sick, then come out with a prescription for an antibiotic. But have you ever question that you should be taking that antibiotic. antibiotics are one of the most overly prescribed medications in the United States. They may actually cause more harm than good. So what exactly are antibiotics, how can they be helpful when used correctly, but at the same time cause much harm to us by creating antibiotic resistance. So antibiotics are medication prescribed by a physician or nurse…

This paper explores antibiotic resistance along with the issues that can play a portion in preventing it. It talks about healthcare facility along with staff being cautious not to spread the virus between patients. In turn it discuss what people can do to prepare themselves in order not to catch viruses or spread them either. Making sure that healthcare works are changing proper equipment after each patient. Lastly it considers how the role of antimicrobial sensitivity plays in cutting…

evolution. Bacterial antibiotic evolution is the growing resistance to antibiotics through mutations in bacteria’s DNA. Vestigial organs are organs that are no longer needed in the body of an animals. Endogenous retroviruses are markers in DNA that show a point where a big change in a species has happened, and are passed on to offspring. Bacterial antibiotic evolution, vestigial organs,…

Antibiotics have been playing a critical role in saving human lives since the 1940s; however, now the inappropriate use of antibiotics is hindering their integrity. The overuse of doses of antibiotics by the food animal industry is responsible for the rise in drug-resistant bacteria that are being spread from farms to the general public, through the food that consumers are purchasing. Efforts are beginning to be made to end the use of low doses of antibiotics on farm animals because of public…

The heretical concept of antimicrobial resistance: In mid 1950 which is known to be one of the most significant year of Medical science when genetically transferred antibiotic resistance was identified in Japan and a theory has established on the basis of scientific data is that during Bacterial conjugation resistance genes or r genes are propagated from one strain to an entire population. Therefore Bacterial Genome evolution has started taking place as one of the major fields in Microbiology,…
