Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

An antibiotic resistant bacteria is a bacteria that has grown resistant to or is unaffected by antibiotics. This is a big threat to humanity as antibiotics are our only frontier against fatal diseases. Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that causes rotting of the flesh, but in its original state, can be simply cured by Penicillin. By the 1950s, S. aureus evolved a common resistance to which the scientists responded with Methicillin, but only to grow resistant within a year. S. aureus has…

Introduction Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most successful human pathogens, which can be detected in varied parts of the world . ()Some factors including virulence factor and drug resistance are efficacious in increasing infectious related death rate. Firstly, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains were recognized in the early 1960s, moreover, they considered as a nosocomial deathful pathogen due to their role in increasing costs and bedridden length() In 2010 almost…

would have been instantly cured by penicillin in the early twentieth century, but in the present day, the infection needed more complicated courses and managed the different kinds of drugs to be treated. The other disease, “MRSA, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, was a type of staph that resisted the antibiotics called…

teaching methods for the adult learner. Furthermore, adult patients with limited literacy will benefit from the ability to visualize information (Green, Gonzaga, Cohen, & Spagnoletti, 2014). Patients who receive the diagnosis of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) are often frightened and confused. Therefore, it is imperative to provide effective patient education regarding this affliction. The contents of an effective patient education episode for someone newly diagnosed with…

It makes me wonder if the absence of attack is due to the creation of vaccine resistant weapons. I remember when visiting troops at Walter Reed and learning of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. I was in awe at how near-invincible this little virus was according to hospital staff nation-wide. If the creators of biological weapons are anything like the terrorist I’ve observed, they…

several incision and drainage procedures.” Potential Pathogen In the case of the individual that developed an infection after receiving bilateral prosthetic hip replacement, the pathogen that appears to be the most likely culprit is Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The patient likely did not…

Bacteriophage is a virus that attacks bacterial cells and “disrupts” its normal metabolism, causing “the bacterium to lyse” (Sulakvelidze et al., 2001). Its effect on bacteria make the bacteriophage a possible new treatment for antibiotic resistant superbugs. Golkar et al. (2013) discuss the various advantages bacteriophage therapy offers over antibiotics. They are “very specific to their hosts”, meaning they can be easily manipulated to detect a specific bacterial infection. Antibiotics, on…

“Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is caused by a type of staph bacteria that's become resistant to many of the antibiotics used to treat ordinary staph infections” (MayoClinicStaff, 2015). After years of overuse of antibiotics, some bacteria have become resistant to antibiotics. MRSA is also very contiguous and hospital staff have to you use extra precautions when treating…

“Farming Up Trouble” “Farming Up Trouble”, by Beth Mole is an article that tells people that antibiotics are being used more in the animals that are on the farm than in humans. The article talks about how this could be the where the antibiotic-resistance bacteria comes from. These antibiotic-resistance bacteria are spreading swiftly across farms, and the scientists are scared that this bacteria is traveling out of farms by the farmer’s meat products as said in the article, “Scientists and…

Killing the bacteria will decrease the malodor of the wound, prevent further infection, and allow the tissues to heal. By using products containing silver, this will decrease the need for traditional antibiotics that bacteria can become resistant to. How Does Carbon Help in Wound Care? The carbon in medical products can absorb toxins and fatty acids that are also responsible for wound odor. Additionally, carbon facilitates excess fluids to drain from the wound that can slow down the healing…
