Diagnosis The most appropriate test to detect Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the nucleic acid amplification test, also know as NAAT. NAAT consist of a urine sample, endocervical and vaginal swab for women, and a urethral swab in men (CDC, 2015). Test detects the genetic material of the bacteria, in this case N. gonorrhoeae. Theoretically the test is able to detect a single copy of the nucleic acid of the bacteria (AACC, 2014). The test amplifies the number of copies of the genetic material in order…

According to the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), antibiotic-resistant bacteria are becoming an increased problem in hospitals and communities due to the lack of antibacterial options currently available. Throughout the world, many Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens are growing more resistant to antibiotics currently on the market. The goal of this journal article is to raise awareness for the global antibiotic crisis and to hopefully encourage the community and legislative…

of antibiotic development and the other 25 percent should be applied towards the funding of antimicrobial stewardship (Clinical). Public Health Antimicrobial Advisory Board (PHAAB) should recognize “priority pathogens” to pinpoint “incentives” within the Strategies to Address Antimicrobial Resistance (STAAR) (Clinical). Proponents or sponsors of the STAAR Act and the GAIN Act should strengthen antimicrobial resistant prevention through the following: the management of programs in all…

There are two types: Macrodilution in each test tube there is broth solution equal to or excess 1mL and Microdilution,test tubes contain smaller volumes of antimicrobial concentrations (Jenkins and Schuetz,2012). Both micro- and macro- dilution methods, present the lowest concentration where it is completely inhibited and is recorded as the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). MIC is the minimum concentration…

“E” is the best answer. This patient has nocardiosis. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole antibiotic therapy inhibits bacterial growth by inhibiting successive steps in the synthesis of dihydrofolic acid. Sulfonamides have long been the first-line antimicrobial therapy for nocardiosis. Among the sulfonamides, sulfadiazine is generally preferred because of its CNS and CSF penetration. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ) is considered the therapy of choice by most authorities. Choice “A” is not…

2005, they conducted the antimicrobial activity of clove on several gram negative bacterium E. Coli, Yersinia enterocolitica,Salmonella choleraesuis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and several gram positive bacterium, S.aureus, Bacillus cereus, Entero faecalis, and Listeria monocytogenes. The clove essential oil was supplied by ARTIBAL. The compounds in clove essential oil was identified using the database of gas chromatography ion trap mass spectrometer (GC-IT-MS). The antimicrobial activity test was…

These substances are common household chemicals which are used to kill bacteria. The two other types of antimicrobials which will be tested are disinfectants and antiseptics. Disinfectants kill nearly all microbials on hard surfaces, with the exception of spores and antiseptics are typically used to inactive or destroy organisms on skin or living tissue (Grainger…

clog even if it absorbs a lot of pet’s hair. It also offers deep clean, not just on your carpets but for the whole house as well.

pharmacopeia, Qarabadin Kabir. Some innovations were made to improve the efficacy, safety and acceptability of the dosage form. Additionally, physicochemical characteristics of L.stoechas and lavender syrup as well as organoleptic parameters and antimicrobial effectiveness testing (challenge test) of the syrup were performed. The moisture content indicates the quality of the plant and also its efficacy. Excessive moisture content forms an ideal medium for the growth of different types of…

exacerbation. In these cases, aerosolized anti-infective agents and/or systemic antimicrobial agents may be necessary. A lot of care must be taken by physicians and therapists to make sure that the agents used are appropriate for the patient’s condition since improper diagnosis can lead to limited or no positive effect on patient’s disease. In the following paragraphs I will summarize the main anti-infective and antimicrobial agents used in respiratory care and how we determine which is…
