Broad-spectrum antibiotic

She is on a third day of a seven-day course of antibiotic, therefore there is a great possibility of clostridium difficile infection. Especially when she has a few risk factors of clostridium difficile infection including age 65years old and above, on Co-amoxiclav antibiotic treatment and recently hospitalised. These factors increased the chances that she suffered from the infection. (NICE, 2013) Ms CD’s faecal…

People who even got cut or scratched would sometimes have to go to the hospital because they would get blood poisoning. It had long been discovered that antibiotics were compounds of bacteria and fungi, but it was not until the year of 1928 that penicillin was discovered. In September of 1928, Alexander Fleming was sorting through some petri dishes that contained Staphylococcus and other bacteria. He found…

test to figure out what kind of infection the children had and then identify the antibiotic that would best treat the infection or if they were antibiotic-resistant bacteria. For this experiment, my hypothesis is that both culture’s A and B will not be antibiotic-resistant and will have at least one antibiotic that will be able to treat the infections. The null hypothesis is that culture’s A and B will be antibiotic-resistant. In the experiment, we started off by sterilizing a loop over a…

Antibiotic is a medicine that inhibits the growth of or destroys microorganisms. April 20th our class was assigned to do experiment. First step, Dr.Okeke went through the lab rule with our class.

Safety goggles are forms of protective eyewear that usually enclose or protect the area surrounding the eye in order to prevent particulates, water or chemicals from striking the eyes.…

About 4,500 children may develop serious adverse effects involving life-threatening conditions, hospitalization, permanent disability, or death each year from vaccines ("Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System," n.d.). This a very high number of serious adverse effects per year. It is hard to understand that even with this number so high, discussion of the possible requirement of all children to have vaccines are in debate. Vaccines should not be required for children because the government…

Infection was no longer an impregnable wall that had to be broken down before the real treatment could begin, infections could be treated on site,…

Penicillin is a medicine that is used worldwide and there are reasons for how this came to be, those reasons are: Alexander Fleming is messy in his lab, Andrew J. Moyer and Dr. Heatley found a way to increase the yields of Penicillin ten times, and because, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain found a way to use Penicillin in humans. To…
