Erythromycin

antibiotics less effective. In addition, pharmaceutically manufactured antibiotics can interfere with other medications and make them less effective. For example, people on certain cholesterol medications are recommended to avoid using clarithromycin and erythromycin because it can reduce the effect of the drugs used as their cholesterol regimen (Dr. Mercola, 2013). Some people believe that colloidal silver should be used along with pharmaceutical antibiotics because colloidal silver can boost…

Pertussis Pathophysiology Pertussis is an extremely contagious respiratory infection that is usually referred to as “whooping cough”. This is a respiratory disease that is caused by the organism Bordetella pertussis this is a gram- negative bacteria that is transmitted only from human to human. Pertussis is transmitted through droplets up to 3 weeks after the cough has started if untreated. After it is inhaled the organism attaches itself to the ciliated respiratory epithelial cells that are in…

The purpose of the unknown experiment is to understand and identify a gram positive and a gram negative. Bacteria can be very helpful in clinical uses and many pharmaceutical drugs are based on the organism. Knowing how a bacterium works and how it is structured can be crucial to determine how it affects each individual. Several biochemical tests were performing to separate and determine the identities of the microorganisms. Broth tube number 31 containing unknown microorganisms. One of the…

antibiotic sensitivity of these SA strains isolated from specimen was measured by using 20 different types of antibiotics. Therefore, three distinct antibiotics were appeared to become highly resistant in SA strain, those were benzylpenicillin(93.7%), erythromycin(81.1%), and azithomycin (79.4%), whereas, three antibiotics with the lowest resistance rate in SA strain were Vancomycin(0%), teicoplanin(2.2),…

Soil houses a vast array of life including many different types of microbes. These microbes help contribute to the ecosystems in and around the soil. For the purpose of the study of this paper the ecosystem that the sample was collected from was the forest floor. The types of microbes that grow in specific soil samples depend on many things such as pH, salinity, temperature and the variant levels of different nutrients. Moisture levels of soil and energy sources are also large factors in…

People are not aware of the problems that are likely to cause an end to life as known. Antibiotic resistance is a life-threatening problem most choose to ignore. “Each year in the United States, at least two million people become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics,” says Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2016). Doctors are prescribing antibiotics when they should not be used, or should use a weaker dose of that antibiotic. Before too long, the bacteria are going…

A daily antibiotic such as penicillin or erythromycin is usually recommended and is especially important for children. Some patients may even be on a daily painkiller regime, such as ibuprofen, to help maintain pain and limit the number of hospital stays due to pain crises. This helps to build immunity…

An infection happens when a foreign organism attacks a human body. There are different types of organisms that can cause us harm, for example; Viruses, Bacteria and Fungi. Not all infections are the same; some are mild while some can end up being life threatening. Also, infections can be contagious; they can be transmitted by a variety of ways, for example; skin contact, airborne particles, touching an object that an infected person has touched. One of the very common and effective ways to…

country to country (Wenzel et al., 2003). A group working in japan reported a recent example of multidrug resistance in S. marcescens. They reported isolated clinical strains showing a fairly high resistance to norfloxacin, streptomycin, ampicillin, erythromycin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, and antimicrobial dyes (Chen et a., 2003). The significance of the study of how this bacterium develops resistance to antibiotics, both old and new, cannot be overemphasised. If we are to gain an upper…
