or nonviolent resistance

Bacterial meningitis is one of the most common infectious diseases affecting neonates (7). It is characterized by the inflammation of the meninges caused by the presence of bacteria or bacterial products within the subarachnoid space of the brain, the spinal cord and the ventricular system (16, 22). This inflammatory response can eventually lead to various forms of brain damage (16, 26). Untreated neonatal bacterial meningitis (NBM) almost always results in death (22), and despite the…

scientists, marveled at the thought of eradicating diseases that tortured human life for centuries. Recently, however, the widespread and inappropriate use of antibiotics has led to antibiotic resistance all over the world, becoming a very serious problem in the treating of diseases. Antibiotic resistance occurs over time when bacteria become resistant to antibiotics because the bacteria strains adapt quickly and protect themselves from the antibiotic. The antibiotic loses its ability to…

Resistance of Ordinary Bacteria to Penicillin Russell, Bradley BSC111L 4 Nov. 2016 Introduction Antibiotic resistance is a problem that is occurring more and more rapidly across the world. Antibiotic resistance is when antibiotics have lost the ability to control or kill bacteria. The bacteria become resistant to antibiotics and continue to multiply. This is causing medical and science communities to grow more and more uneasy as therapeutic levels of antibiotics are becoming less and…

of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). Antimicrobial resistance is a prevailing issue since the discovery of the first antibiotic Penicillin in 1928. There are 5 mechanisms which allow resistance to impede new antibiotic development for the last 29 years (WHO, 2016) consisting of mutations in target genes, enzymatic resistance, latency, antibiotic efflux and non-specific mutations. Latency and antibiotic efflux are some of the most detrimental mechanisms on antimicrobial resistance. Latent…

The growing problem of antibiotic resistance is becoming clear in India, where 58,000 babies have died from infections that could not be cured with antibiotics (Harris, 2014). Adults are susceptible to these antibiotic resistant illnesses as well, 45 year-old singer Uppalapu Shrinivas died after contracting an infection (Harris, 2014). However, babies are at a greater risk because their immune systems are not as strong as an adults (Harris, 2014). One of the infants that died due to a resistant…

1. Antibiotic resistance is a big problem and one that is getting worse. Use the CDC site or other sources to answer these questions about antibiotic resistance. Please site your sources. Answer each part in 2-3 sentences. (2 points) CDC site: http://www.cdc.gov/drugresistance/about.html a. Briefly describe practices that are contributing to antibiotic resistance. First, it must be understood that antibiotic resistance happens to some degree no matter what since bacteria are constantly…

Genetic Engineering is a controversial technology that has a lot of debate and discussion surrounding it. Scientists and researchers work diligently in labs to improve and experiment with the new technology, while bioethicists look at the possible effects of the technology. The effects that the bioethicists must study consist of society, future, religious, and many more. Some families are eager for the use of genetic engineering to be widespread so that they can eradicate fatal diseases or…

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, the disease also known as MRSA. This disease has been in my life since 2010. I have had an outbreak of this disease about four times since 2010. It is not a comfortable disease and I have had to live with it since then. It is very painful and a quite disgusting infection. I chose this disease because I have had plenty of personal experience from it and I know a great deal about it. I understand this disease, how it manifests and what happens when it…

he Overuse of Antibiotics on Factory Farms In 2015, a fellow student from my high school, whose name has been left out, contracted a type of E. coli. The doctors realized that this strain of E. coli was resistant to antibiotics meaning there were no antibiotics that could be given to her as a treatment. The sickness forced her to miss major portions of her senior year. Hospitalized for over six months, doctors waited to see if her body’s immune system could fight the bacteria off. She…

This can cause antibiotic resistance by bacteria which can cause serious problems in society. If an antibiotics resistance happens for the “only drug approved by the FDA” in the case of Anthrax, that could be extremely harmful for society as a whole and create national unrest and unhappiness. The rule-utilitarian would stick to this rule and try his hardest to try and get Mrs. Kelsey to not buy ciprofloxacin online by explaining the risks of both antibiotic resistance, and possible medical…
