Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

direct or indirect contact (Lawton, 2014). Treatment may involve topic or oral antibiotics if skin cleansing alone does not resolve the disease (Watkins, 2013). Impetigo Pathophysiology Impetigo is superficial skin infection “caused by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) or group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus pyogenes (S. pyogenes), or a combination of the two” (Hartman-Adams et al., 2014, p. 229). Healthy skin is…

Bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus Bacteria is a funny thing in the world of the living organisms. We, as humans, often look at bacteria as a germ or something that causes harm to our body but that is not the case. The Earth happens to widely depend on bacteria. We often forget that 99% of bacteria is good for us. We need these bacteria’s so they can occupy spaces in our body where else that 1% of bad ones will invade and make us sick. The bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, happens to be one of…

therapeutic strategies. C. difficile is a Gram-positive, anaerobic, spore-forming bacterium (Koenigsknecht et al., 2015). It is transmitted among humans through fecal-oral route and can survive in aerobic conditions, because it spreads by spores that are resistant to heat, acid and antibiotics. Nevertheless, symptoms of the disease will not be present in all individuals infected with C. difficile, because colonization is often prevented by barrier properties of the gastrointestinal microbiota. …

S. aureus is clinically recognised as an important pathogen in terms of human infection. Despite its common presence in the natural microbiota of the human body, S. aureus is one of the leading causes of nosocomial infections. Infection with this pathogen can lead to a range of disorders from relatively mild skin infections to life threatening illness such as osteomyelitis. The ability of S. aureus to control expression of a virulent phenotype according to environmental conditions is regulated…

What is it? Impetigo is a skin infection caused by two different bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. Impetigo is a skin infection that causes red patches with sores or blisters with a fluid, personally to me the sores look more like blisters from being filled with the fluid and being able to pop easily. Impetigo mostly occurs on the face, neck, arms, and legs, diaper area usually only if it is bullous impetigo. The differences between the two different types of impetigo…

material can keep materials medical devices clean This is our future manufactures. A fact about the sharklet, it is stronger from preventing microbes attaching than copper does. Copper only resists up to 80%, Sharklet resists up to 94%. That 14% more resistant towards bacterial…

A COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF ANTIMICROBIAL EFFICACY OF ALOE VERA , SESAME OIL AND TEA TREE OIL AGAINST E. faecalis - AN IN-VITRO STUDY” INTRODUCTION Medical microbiology entered a new era towards the end of the nineteenth century. It was during these golden years that path-breaking work of Pasteur, Koch and others in the development of broth and agar media led to the ability to grow a majority of pathogenic micro-organisms which were deemed uncultivable…

Sulfa drugs are the common name for a drug category known as sulfonamides which are effective towards a lot of infectious diseases. They are known as one of the first drugs to fix the issues in a time when most drugs could not work to help prevent sickness. Sulfonamides are a group of antimicrobial drugs that contain the sulfanilamide group used to treat certain bacterial infections. The way in which they were discovered is unique. Sulfa drugs were widely used during World war II, which made a…

1.2.2Non-Arabic countries 1- Bangladesh A health survey conducted in the Rajshahi city “Bangladesh” to evaluate the prevalence of self-medication with antibiotics for the treatment of various diseases by peoples in Rajshahi city in Bangladesh. The study found, 26.69% experienced self-medication with antibiotics. The key reasons for the self-medications of antibiotics was the pre-experience (45.82%), suggestions from others (28.24%) and knowledgeable of the antibiotics (16.14%). Only 4.32%…

Antibiotics are the most important group of drugs which play a significant role to protect humans and animals against bacterial infections (3). In other words, the use of antibiotics is the most conventional method for treating humans (4). These drugs also are used in fish farming industries in order to improve growth (5). Antibiotics are naturally absorbed by the human body after the use. Therefore, much of the drugs or their metabolites are removed from the body through the urine and feces…
