Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

“Pediatricians want farmers to use fewer antibiotics” (2015), her objective was to regulate the amount of antibiotics given to animals because of the after effect of consuming meat by humans. The after effect can be food poisoning and antibiotic resistant. A bacteria having antibiotic resistance means that the antibiotic no longer harms the bacteria or no longer reduce the bacteria load in the body. Antibiotic Resistance bacteria is a…

medical professionals. The patient would not need antibiotics, as he does not have a bacterial infection, but rather a virus. This situation now places both the patient and society at an increased risk for antibiotic resistant illnesses such as Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA), nicknamed Superbugs. Clearly, through inaction, the doctor still provided care and support that would be expected of a medical professional within the community without placing undue…

Restrictions on Antibiotics The CDC estimates that more than 200,000 people are hospitalized each year with the flu or with flu-related complications. Most people will believe that antibiotics are the resolution to all of their illnesses when in actuality, they are wrong. Antibiotics are not the resolve to every illness, in most cases antibiotics can work negatively. Antibiotic overuse is a serious matter that must be addressed by more people. The use of antibiotics should be restricted to…

Evolution is a gradual process that produces changes that can be seen over generations. Evolution has several important aspects. The first of these aspects is that we all share a common ancestry and are, therefore, all related. The second aspect is that of natural selection (Pickrell, 2006). Natural selection is the process during which organisms become better adapted and more suited to their environment. This increases their chances of survival, and thus they are able to produce more offspring…

link in the chain of infection which is that pathogenic micro-organisms can also be spread by direct or indirect contact via patients’ hands. Because some patients who are being treated for healthcare associated infections such as methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus and clostridium difficile, may easily spread pathogenic micro-organisms to affect other’s health (Ampofo, 2013). Therefore, it is important that to adhere hand hygiene to avoid healthcare associated infecitons (Bail, Cook,…

In today’s health care system, it is imperative to have data accessible to the members of the health care team in real time. In the case study that was presented a patient was tested for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA); the lab results were negative however, the lab record was updated as the patient being positive for MRSA. It was found that this was the third time that lab results were uploaded to the wrong patient’s EHR record from the emergency room. We are going to look at…

weapons” (Richardson). It is a term that most people hear about but have no idea or understanding of the term. It is mainly a bacteria that has now become resistant to any antibiotics. The most common area that you will find bacteria is in a hospital. One of the most dangerous bug out there is Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Many agencies, hospitals have realize the best solution to kill the bacteria is to conduct research. We failed to fully understand how important…

Healthcare-Associated Infections definition Healthcare-Associated infections are patients’ infections that happen when the patients are receiving treatments in a health care setting for health issues either medical or surgical condition. There are many places where healthcare-associated infections can happen such as hospital’s inpatient care, outpatient clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, nursing homes, end-stage renal disease facilities, and rehabilitation centers (Health.gov, 2016). Types of…

Experimental trials were performed by students over a timeframe of three weeks to determine the identity of three unknown bacteria contained in broth medium stored in labeled test tubes that were randomly assigned containing: one Gram positive bacterium, one Gram-negative paracolon, and one Gram-negative coliform (Carson, 2016). The unknown sample assigned in this experiment was #19. After initially streaking the solution on clean streak plates and TSA agar, the identity was determined from a…
