Antimicrobial

bacteria of the same species due to different strains; with some strains being more resistant than others. Antimicrobial resistance is the ability of a microorganism to survive and multiply in the presence of an antimicrobial agent that would normally inhibit or kill this species of microorganism. Antibiotic susceptibility tests are done in order to determine, which specific antimicrobials will inhibit the growth of bacteria or fungi that causes the infection. The aim of these tests is to…

antibiotics for food animals will preserve the long-term effectiveness of existing antibiotics, support animal health and welfare, and limit the risk of transfer of antibiotic resistance to humans. Having an understanding of the epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance allows development of preventive strategies to limit existing resistance and to avoid emergence of new strains of resistant bacteria. The veterinary public health scope also includes the development and supervision of food hygiene…

Introduction: Epidemiology: Sepsis is a significant public health burden with increasingly high incidence and mortality rates. In 2010, an estimated 5.1% of deaths were attributed to sepsis in the United Kingdom. Consequently, it is a leading cause of admission to intensive care units (ICU), delays in hospital discharge and a significant cost to the economy. Therefore, it is imperative to raise awareness and prepare clinicians with the knowledge and guidance to embark on the global movement…

Imagine being able to create almost anything displayed on our computer screen. Imagine having able to take any 2 dimensional images and create a 3 dimensional object. The only thing that limits us is our creativity. Well 3D printing allows just that! Invented by a man named Chuck Hall, 3D printing allows us to take a digital file from a computer and “print” a real life physical 3 dimensional object. So how does 3D printing work? A 3D printed object is built up one layer at a time from…

they have on the human body, or any living organism, can range from mild to severe. Fortunately, we have antibiotics to help prevent the spread of infection and protect our bodies against infectious bacterial diseases. Antibiotics, also called antimicrobial drugs, are drugs that fight off infectious disease caused by bacteria. With the intervention of antibiotics, we are able to treat, and even cure in some cases, disease caused by these harmful and fatal bacteria. Unfortunately, bacteria have…

prevention (Chaudhary, 2016). This has been proven to be effective in other countries and could be tailored to the needs of specific regions. “Mechanisms such as antibiotic control programs, better hygiene, and synthesis of agents with improved antimicrobial activity need to be adopted in order to limit bacterial resistance” (Neu, 1992). Third, better data is needed to fully find a definitive solution to the crisis. “We need better measurement of levels and trends in resistance, including…

Summary: In both articles About Antimicrobial Resistance and What is Drug Resistance? antimicrobial resistance is referred to as the ability of microbes, such as bacteria,…

laboratory detection of MRSA includes culturing the specimen, confirmation of S. aureus with identification tests, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and finally, verification of MRSA, usually with molecular methods. This may take several days. Rapid diagnostic testing for MRSA directly from specimens allows the infected patient to obtain a more rapid verification of antimicrobial therapy, leading to a decrease in mortality, a reduction in vancomycin usage, shorter stays in hospital, and…
