Broad-spectrum antibiotic

In everyday life, people use antibacterial products to sanitize their homes. Some of the common active ingredients in household cleaning products are thymol, lactic acid, sodium hypochlorite, and ethanol (e.g. active ingredient in some hand sanitizers). The purpose of our experiment was to determine if antibacterial products lost effectiveness in killing common bacteria in everyday environments after repeated use. This is an important environmental issue because if these products are losing…

The opposing side may have arguments for the pro-antibiotic points stated. It could be argued that if there are is no connection between bacteria resistance and meats, how would one explain the article by the New York Times stating pork productions causing MRSA in Camden, Indiana (Kristof). To this statement one could argue that the MRSA strain that was found was the ST398, which is an animal version of the bacterial resistance. As stated earlier by Ebner, Assistant Professor at Purdue’s…

The Modus Operandi of Antibiotics As we all know, antibiotics eliminate bacteria, and by doing that, the infection is almost cured. This operation is not as simple as it seems, it requires high levels of specificity, selectivity, and accuracy. The outcome of taking antibiotics is well known, but how do antibiotics actually work? What are the specifics of the fierce interactions between bacteria and antibiotics? These questions can only be answered by following the process of bacteria…

all, diseases have demonstrated resurgence causing both health and national issues. Many diseases have adapted against antibiotics, causing them to resurge stronger than ever. Many forms of bacteria have built up an immunity to antibiotics. Disease Prevention Center Dr. Nue states that “nearly every bacterium that causes a disease has become resistant to at least one antibiotic” (Iinvisible Killers). One main reason why curing diseases is so difficult is because of strong-interconnections…

limitations to phage therapy, there lies many advantages in utilizing phages to fight bacteria. Arguably, one of the biggest advantages in phage therapy is the fact that they only target harmful bacteria and therefore have less side effects than antibiotics (University of Liverpool, 2017). Phages are very specific in that they target only certain bacteria (University of Liverpool, 2017). “Each phage is specific to the type of bacteria it…

that build the bacteria’s cell wall. Once they break through, the bacteria dies and we can recover from infection. In recent decades, some bacteria have developed a resistance to penicillin and other antibiotics. This causes a risk to human health. Scientists continue trying to find new antibiotics but they still don’t know how the old ones work. Scientist Thomas Bernhardt and his partners have added something to the research. They found that penicillin not only attacks the bacterial wall, but…

However, symptoms can be treated. Having an early intervention and the right program is essential. No “typical” treatment is followed, for treatments depend on the strengths and weaknesses of each particular case (Nemours). Each treatment plan must address key issues: health, wellness, sensory issues, processing problems, visualizing, concepts, fine and gross motor skills, speech, language, behavioral and social issues. Acquiring new skills and monitoring the nutrition and medication may change…

“There are hundreds of millions of gun owners in this country, and not one of them will have an accident today. The only misuse of guns comes in environments where there are drugs, alcohol, bad parents, and undisciplined children. Period” (Ted Nugent). This quote reflects on the recent mass shootings where firearms were unfortunately placed in the wrong hands. As of December 6, 2015, 355 mass shootings have occurred in the United States. Following every shooting is the devastation and surprise…
