identified in the lab by conventional test. The results are the same as what I received in lab with the addition on being gram-positive, nonmotile, lysozyme-sensitive, and a positive esculin hydrolysis. Kocuria rosea is sensitive to penicillin, erythromycin, vancomycin and…

Definition and Causes of Short Bowel Syndrome The patient in this case study was immunocompromised due to Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) which predisposed her to discitis infection. SBS is a disorder that hinders the absorption of nutrients and fluids usually after extensive small intestine resection (Tee, Wallis, & Gabe, 2011). An average person’s small intestine is 600cm long (Sundaram, Koutkia, & Apovian, 2002). In SBS, the small bowel has been shortened at least 70 percent (Sundaram et al.,…

places it likes to grow, such as air conditioning systems and cruise ship water holding areas. Treatment consists of basic pneumonia protocols such as oxygen and fluid treatment. Legionnaires’ disease is also treated with antibiotics, usually erythromycin, although different antibiotics can be used. (Bennett, J.E., Dolin R, & Blaser, M. J.,…

hospitalization. Medical staffs need to observe the patients whose condition may become more serious. Potential treatment for different patient groups with Legionnaires’ Disease.

(Singh, Marshall, 2016). Alternative 7 day oral antibiotic regimens include 500 milligrams of levofloxacin 4 times daily; 300 milligrams of ofloxacin twice daily; and 500 milligrams of erythromycin 4 times daily (Singh, Marshall, 2016). Pregnant women or neonates that are infected are recommended to take erythromycin under the observation of a clinician.

It depends on the host for ATP and energy metabolism, therefore an obligate intracellular organism. Chlamydia has three species, namely, C.pneumoniae, that causes a type of pneumonia, C.psittaci, that causes psittacosis and C.trachomatis that causes various diseases such as trachoma, inclusion conjunctivitis and nongonococcal urethritis.

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 1980’s, quinolones developed…

In the Kirby-Bauer test, the antibiotics chosen were rifampin, erythromycin, cefepine, chloramine, and kanamycin. The zones of inhibition showed that the bacterium was resistant to both rifampin and erythromycin and susceptible to the other three. The antiseptics used were Neosporin, Claire’s antiseptic, dial soap, contact solution, and acne cream. The bacterium was most susceptible to…
