diseases and chronic conditions. Read on to find out more about colloidal silver uses and all this amazing liquid can do. Treating Bacterial and Viral Infections Silver was used as an antibiotic long before other penicillin products were developed. But because people believed that penicillin was more effective than…

MRSA Effect Makaylah Hoang San Jose State University Ever since Alexander Fleming’s discovery of penicillin in 1928 researchers and scientists have developed many different types of antibiotics to help fight off illness by killing bacteria. Yet with the development of antibiotics there has been a development of bacterium that have become antibiotic resistant. The danger of this one bacterium to become resistant to antibiotics raises the question of whether or not other bacterium are able to…

Antibiotics How do you feel about antibiotics? Are they helpful or are they harmful, are they safe or are they dangerous? The current situation we are dealing with right now is should everyone have access to antibiotics in their homes. Today as of 2016 “antibiotics are life-saving drugs” (Dryden, M) but can be harmful if we don’t use them correctly. “Everyone prescribing antibiotics should consider both their clinical and public health responsibilities” (Dryden, M) because antibiotics…

Amoxicillin is an beta lactam aminopenicillin that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin binding protein and blocking transpeptidation. It has low protein binding and is eliminated renally and mostly unchanged. It has a beta lactam ring, an absolute configuration of 2S, 5R, 6R, a carboxylic acid group at C2 position and an amide bond at the C6 position. It has broad spectrum activity and can be used against gram negative bacterial infections. Erythromycin is a…

An extraordinary discovery for medicine Joseph Lister – an English surgeon’s biography Antiseptic is a substance that could be applied to living skin to prevent infection generated by microorganisms. Some examples of antiseptics are: alcohol, iodine, salt, sodium bicarbonate, and boric acid. Before the discovery of antiseptics, there was an increasing death rate among patients undergoing surgery. During the years 1864 to 1866, it is estimated that 45.7% of patients died from tissue infection.…

Introduction Infection control aims to prevent pathogens from coming into contact with a person before it can cause serious health related risk and spread of diseases by applying basic principles in order to stop the chain of infection and maintain an infectious free work environment (NHMRC 2010). This report will explore an example of a situation in a hospital setting with an infectious patient and how radiographers go about taking measures to implement infection control procedures for the…

What is an infection An infection happens when an organism such as bacteria feeds off of its host. It lives in that person and multiplies. This causes the area to become red and hurt. Because of the one way benefit to the organisms they are known as parasitic organisms. There are lots of bacteria on earth and our bodies are mostly made up of bacteria that live inside us but don 't cause harm because they live symbiotically with their host. There are manny different kinds of infections…

Guinn_ENVM510_M4GradedAssign – Sunday 1. Prophylactic antibiotic study: The variable of timing considered. Background: Preventing infection in surgical patients with prophylactic antibiotics uses overall less antibiotics than treating a patient post-surgery who have developed an infection (Burke, 2001). These results indicate an overall reduction in infections, which reduce the overall use of antibiotics. The variable that is critical in the effectiveness of prophylactic antibiotic use is…

Sulfamethazine remediation potential of Arabidopsis thaliana root ABSTRACT The use of antibiotics in animals either as a growth promoting or as a disease treating agent has become a worldwide trend. Antibiotics being stable bioactive compounds are not fully absorbed into the animal system and are released into the environment through animal manure. This study aims to discern the effect of one such veterinary antibiotic, sulfamethazine, on Arabidopsis thaliana root and also the possible…

Biotechnology and probiotic GOS (Galacto-oligo-saccharides) INTRODUCTION What are Prebiotics? Prebiotics are commonly defined as non- digestible polysaccharides and oligosaccharides. These prebiotics enhance the growth of beneficial bacteria like lactic acid bacteria in intestinal tract and also exert antagonistic property against some other species like salmonella sp. or E. coli. Some scientist also defined other properties of prebiotics; which includes resistance to gastric activity,…
