most overly prescribed medications in the United States. They may actually cause more harm than good. So what exactly are antibiotics, how can they be helpful when used correctly, but at the same time cause much harm to us by creating antibiotic resistance. So antibiotics are medication prescribed by a physician or nurse practitioner. They target a type of microorganisms in your body called bacteria, as said in emedicinehealth “Antibiotics cure disease by killing or injuring bacteria.” (1). The…

Antibiotic Resistance Introduction: One of the challenges affecting the medical world is antibiotic resistance. This is a concern because antibiotics have been used for decades to treat hundreds of diseases. I was able to find two articles that go over this issue. The first one was found on http://www.cdc.gov/drugresistance/about.html and the second on http:/x/www.medicinenet.com/antibiotic_resistance/article.htm. These articles are informative. They help answer some of the important questions…

research of other possible antibiotic solutions (Chin). In 2014, President Obama proposed an executive order to issue a five year National Action Plan to combat antibiotic resistance that should include measurements of their progress (Chin). After doubling the available federal funds of control of antibiotic resistance in March 2015, the National Action Plan for Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria was issued with the intention of accomplishing five goals including to: decrease new…

1.2.2 Mechanism of antibiotic resistance Bacteria may become resistant to various antimicrobial agents through several mechanisms. Major mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in bacteria includes : (1) modification in target site so the antibiotic cannot recognise the target; (2) enzyme production that will inactivate or modify the drug before its effect; (3) expelling or extruding the antibiotic outside the cell by one or more efflux pumps so the drug is unable to reach the target site to exert…

HOW DOES ANTIBIOTIC USE IN PIGS IMPACT THE CONSUMER A BRIEFING ON THE LINK TO PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERNS OVER DRUG-RESISTANT BACTERIA AND ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION DUE TO HOG WASTE “What are we eating?” As consumers consider their dietary options, this is a common question asked across the country on a daily basis. As the demand for animal protein rises locally and globally at unprecedented rates, more often than not, the question of what are we eating tends to be answered with beef, chicken, or…

explores antibiotic resistance along with the issues that can play a portion in preventing it. It talks about healthcare facility along with staff being cautious not to spread the virus between patients. In turn it discuss what people can do to prepare themselves in order not to catch viruses or spread them either. Making sure that healthcare works are changing proper equipment after each patient. Lastly it considers how the role of antimicrobial sensitivity plays in cutting resistances number.…

Biology Antibiotics Assignment Introduction Bacteria are microscopic prokaryotic cells, they are very common and are found in every habitat on earth (Introducing Microbes, n.d.). There are many harmless bacteria however bacteria are the cause of many diseases including salmonella, pneumonia and meningitis (Cynthia Haines,2013). To combat these diseases caused by bacteria in 1928 Alexander Discovered the first antibiotic, it was used to treat soldiers in ww2 with infections which could…

ovarian syndrome (aka PCOS) is a disorder that is expected in patients with irregular menses, acne, seborrhea, hirsutism, infertility, and alopecia. PCOS has recently been associated with the metabolic syndrome. Patients may develop obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, liver disease, and sleep apnea. Clinical diagnosis would include hematological and radiological tests. Management would be a combined effort between a patient’s dermatologist, endocrinologist, gynecologist,…

Introduction “Swedish Scientists Say Mead May Be the Key to Fight Antibiotic-resistant Pathogens" written by the WTOP Staff and published on their website, believe that with the right honey and preparations they can get rid of the more resistant pathogens. In this article, Swedish scientists believe that honey and lactic acids that are found in honey bees can be an alternate source other than normal medication for antibiotic-resistant pathogens. With support testing, they have found that they…

it drilled in their head proper hand washing techniques yet many fail to put them into action. If proper hygiene and proper sterilization of medical instruments were put into practice, who knows how much we could reduce the number of these cases. Resistance also happens due to overuse of antibiotics so using antibiotics only when they are necessary is also a key to reducing the number of cases of antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria. Though there is an obsession in the media with the…
