Erythromycin

how she could have done better. There is a preoccupation with what would have happened had she acted differently. Her self-reflection is not an act of healing, but rather a form of self-mortification. Rather than being left forlorn with recollections of the mistakes she might have made, how she did her husband a disservice by being any but the perfect wife. Through her memories she still indulges in an anhedonia that embitters her present and her past. Although she has in many aspects of her life accepted her husband’s death her preoccupation with her faults and her inability to concentrate demonstrate how the events of December, 2003, continue to dominate every aspect of her life. Vocabulary Resilient: Capable of enduring tribulation Erythromycin: Any of a class of macrolide antibiotics. Lividity: A state of being livid – having a dark, bluish appearance, or being furious. Literary Devices: Flashback: pg 210: “There was a noe made for a meeting with Gil Frank… when we were trying to sell the house in Malibu…” Symbolism: pg 212: “There were also colored Christmas lights on quince branches in the living room a year ago, on the night it happened, but in the spring, not long after I brought q=Quintana home from UCLA, those strings burned out, went dead. This served as a symbol.”…

Sydney Meyers Relative effectiveness of penicillin, neomycin and erythromycin on the inhibition of growth of Streptococcus pneumoniae Introduction: An approximate 1.1 million annual deaths worldwide are attributed to the to bacteria known as Streptococcus pneumoniae. Today, S. pneumoniae is among the most significant causes of bacterial disease in humans and remains to be one of the top 10 causes of death in the U.S (Hoskins, 2001). This pathogenic bacteria causes a variety of…

The prevalent popularity of the potency of this drug stems from its gradual elimination from the body that enables the treatment of infections for several days of single administration on a daily basis. As previously mentioned, this new agent is derived from erythromycin through a process that involves incorporating nitrogen atom into the lactone ring, which makes the lactone ring to become 15-membered. The mechanism of action of azithromycin is inhibiting bacteria from developing through…

• Generic: Erythromycin Trade: Erythromycin Stearate • Erythromycin stearate was used for erythema annulare centrifugum (EAC) which is an inflammatory dermatosis with unknown etiology. In other words, it is a rare skin rash. • This article had several components that represented the nursing process in administration of this anti-infective medication by utilizing assessment, plan, and evaluation. First, the researches assessed the patients” medical history such as previous trauma or other…

1. Describe 3 targets of antibiotics, why each target is unique to the particular bacteria, and under what circumstance the bacteria could be resistant to that particular drug. (5 pts) As the name implies 50s subunit protein synthesis inhibitors such as erythromycin inhibit protein synthesis by binding to the 50S subunit of the 23S rRNA molecule of the bacterial ribosome. This ultimately acts to block the exit of the growing peptide chain. It should be noted that gram+ bacteria more…

Kanamycin was expected to have the largest zone of inhibition but ended up with a diameter of 3.5 centimeters. Erythromycin was not expected to be the most effective but ended up with a zone of inhibition of 4 centimeters. On the other hand, Tetracycline had a zone of inhibition of 0.5 centimeters, and the control (just a disk of filler paper) had a 0-centimeter zone of inhibition. Qualitatively, the differences were obvious; Kanamycin and Erythromycin both had large circles surrounding the…

We measured the zone of inhibition after a week to observe which antibiotic Enterococcus faecalis is most sensitive to. My hypothesis is that Enterococcus faecalis will have varying levels of sensitivity to different types of antibiotics by expressing different size of zone of inhibition. If neomycin, tetracycline, and erythromycin are individually applied to a colony of Enterococcus faecalis, then the zone of inhibition will be highest to lowest in the order of neomycin, erythromycin, and…

epidermidis to erythromycin, a Mueller- Hinton agar plate was swabbed 4 times with a control broth culture of S. epidermidis to get a confluent lawn of growth. Two antibiotic disks of 15 micrograms of erythromycin were added to the plate. The plates were allowed to incubate for 48 hours at 37C to allow the first round of exposure of the bacteria to the antibiotic. After incubation, the zone of inhibition was observed, and the diameter was measured with a ruler. The zone of inhibition is a…

There was a wide range of patients that came to see Dr. DuPlessis for appointments. The patients that came in were 6 years old for a skin allergy test, mother of a 13 year old who has autism, sensory processing disorder, and complex regional pain syndrome, 4 month old premature girl who received her last dosage of Synagis, 10 year old who was recently diagnosed with ADHD, 16 year old with ADHD having a follow up appointment, and 3 months old who has a diagnosis of ‘Failure to Thrive’. The…

Amoxicillin is an beta lactam aminopenicillin that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin binding protein and blocking transpeptidation. It has low protein binding and is eliminated renally and mostly unchanged. It has a beta lactam ring, an absolute configuration of 2S, 5R, 6R, a carboxylic acid group at C2 position and an amide bond at the C6 position. It has broad spectrum activity and can be used against gram negative bacterial infections. Erythromycin is a…
