Chloramphenicol

Fever. If you start the antibiotic within a week of symptoms, you have a better chance of not having a severe case that could potentially lead to fatality. Severe cases can require longer periods of antibiotics. The only other treatment drug is Chloramphenicol, but the disadvantage is there is a greater risk of fatality with this antibiotic. If sulfa containing drugs are used it can worsen the case and death is likely. (Centers for Disease Control, 2017) No treatment of Rocky Mountain Spotted…

jail would die before they served their full sentences. Symptoms include headache, fever, rash, chills, hacking, vomiting, confusion, cough, abdominal pain and more. Treatment for it include antibiotics such as Doxycycline, Tetracycline, and Chloramphenicol. Of course this was the 1600s so getting antibiotics was not really an option. “For prevention avoid areas where they might encounter rat fleas or lice.” (The New York Times Company pg…

soles of feet. This rash can lead to debilitating bleeding sores in extreme cases. Typhus is said to cause a person to have a sensitivity to light, delirium, and in some cases cause comas. Antibiotics such as doxycycline, tetracycline, and chloramphenicol have been used to cure typhus. The infected person can also benefit from intravenous fluids due to the dehydrated brought on by the fever and the intestinal problems. If the disease goes untreated, circulation can suffer throughout the body…

How Ferritin was first isolated and how it is isolated now The protein ferritin is formed from two classes of subunits, H and L, in a ratio which vary in different cell types. The H-type are subunits associated with rapid uptake of iron and are predominantly from the red blood cells. Subunits that take up iron much slower are designated L-types. A third type subunit, M, is found in amphibians and is similar to the H subunit. The M-types are predominant in the liver. Once synthesized, ferritin…

microbiologist Selman Walksman developed Streptomycin, which makes tuberculosis curable. Later on, his group gradually developed more than 20 types of antibiotic according to his summarized skills. Between 1940’s to 1950’s, human found Chlortetracycline，chloramphenicol，nystatin，erythromycin，and kanamycin in succession. In this decades, human entered antibiotic age that we began to apply antibiotic to clinical use widely. In 1956, Vancomycin was used for Gram-positive bacterial infection. Since…

Introduction Antibiotics has changed modern medicine into what we know today, saving many lives and alleviating the suffering of individuals [1]. Around the 1940s, the use of penicillin and streptomycin effectively controlled the prevalence of bacterial infections, dramatically improving life expectancy [2]. However, antibiotic resistance started to evolve and there is a constant demand for the development of new compounds as the lifespan of pre-existing antibiotics is significantly reduced [3]…

Bacteriophages PROS (Advantages) Phage therapy has a lot of advantages more than antibiotics [39]. First of all, phages have a broad antibacterial activity even against antibiotic resistance bacteria [124, 125, 126] like MRSA as phage can be used as sanitizing agent against hospital acquired infections like MRSA [86]. Also a phage (pVp-1) was able to overcome the resistant strain of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in experimentally infected mice [127]. Phages can lyse bacteria in the supurrative wounds…

Diseases affect both human and animal populations. The epidemic is worse in a wildlife case scenario. This is because the animals are scattered in the wild. It is hard to account for the infected animals. Furthermore, it is even harder to avail treatment to the infected animals. Wildlife is very important to our ecosystem. Besides, they are a tourist attraction. Therefore, wildlife must be protected from extinction. Australia continent is very famous for koalas. Koalas are very…

+ Tazobactam are the choice of treatment for snakebite generated wound infections (Dhanya shashidharan palappallil et al 2015, Shek et al (2009). To cover most predominant aerobic and anaerobic flora Amoxicillin / clavulanate + levofloxacin, chloramphenicol, cefotaxime, clindamycin, metronidazoles are also suitable alternatives to treat soft tissue infections (Richard F. clark et al 1983, C. M chen et al 2011, subramani et al 2012, R. S. Baylock 1999, L.E. Vissar et al…

Introduction: Coconut oil is basically edible oil obtained from drupe of Cocos nucifera. Coconut oil is one of the most easily available edible oil and is very economical and use in every house globally. Majorly coconut oil consist of triglycerols and fatty acids. Coconut oil contains about 90% saturated fatty acids. Of which lauric acid is the main component (47.5% by wt), followed by Myristic acid (18.1% by wt) and palmitic acid (8.8% by wt). Major triglycerols aretrilaurin…
