drugs include cephalexin (Keflex), ceftriaxone (Rocephin), ceftizoxime, cefoxitin, and cefotaxime. These antibiotics cause cellwall damage and lysis in gram-negative bacteria (Talaro,). Macrolides such as azithromycin and Tetracyclines such as doxycycline are sometimes used in conjuction with cephalosporins. Macrolides and tetracyclines have identical functions. Both workby inhibiting ribosomal proteins in bacteria (Talaro,). The recommended treatment of uncomplicated lower gential tract and ano…

was common, mercury and even arsenic were used to combat the disease. One injection of penicillin is usually enough to cure primary or even secondary syphilis.

The tick must bite a person and be attached for at least 36-48 hours in order to transmit the infection. The tick releases a bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi. The bacterium will enter through the skin and eventually enter your blood stream causing various symptoms. In the early stages of the disease a person may experience a rash…

It is naturally found in warm (warmer than 180C) sea and estuarine waters throughout the world and is therefore common in many tropical or subtropical regions. Vibrio…

I believe that companies should not be able to set their prices without regulation. In a New York Times editorial Joe Biden’s economic adviser stated, “we cannot count on drug companies to make necessary medicines affordable or count on them to develop the drugs we most need” (Bernstein). HIV Medication falls under the healthcare market. It’s not ethical to drive up the prices on commonly used drugs that people use to survive. The inflation of prices can create market failure. The issue at hand…
