Chalcone scaffolds had attracted many researchers to investigate their synthetic routes, potential biological activities and their roles as intermediates for naturally occurring flavanoid skeletons. This study focused on the synthesis of chalcones bearing O-, C-prenyl and chromane as substituents. The target compounds were purified by chromatographic methods and structures of all compounds were determined by using IR, NMR and MS spectroscopies. The prenylated precursors were synthesized…

encourage the community and legislative to raise funds in order to increase antibiotic production. The “ESKAPE” pathogens that are currently causing the majority of infections and are resistant to current antibiotics are Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter…

Antibiotic resistance is the ability of bacteria to resist the effects of drugs (About Antimicrobial Resistance). It happens when the antibiotic loses its ability to control or kill bacterial growth in the human body. Even though resistance is a natural phenomenon that occurs like natural selection in bacteria, it should not be causing as much of a problem with humans as it has been increasingly through the years (General Background: About Antibiotic…). Antibiotic resistance can be naturally…

Definition and Causes of Short Bowel Syndrome The patient in this case study was immunocompromised due to Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) which predisposed her to discitis infection. SBS is a disorder that hinders the absorption of nutrients and fluids usually after extensive small intestine resection (Tee, Wallis, & Gabe, 2011). An average person’s small intestine is 600cm long (Sundaram, Koutkia, & Apovian, 2002). In SBS, the small bowel has been shortened at least 70 percent (Sundaram et al.,…

The next test I preformed was a mannitol salt test using a mannitol-salt agar plate and the results showed positive fermentation turning the plate yellow and also positive growth. This led me to conclusion that my unknown Gram + cocci was Staphylococcus aureus. Gram – Rod To identify the unknown Gram – rod I first performed a H2S production test using a peptone-iron agar deep. The results of the H2S production test showed no production of H2S near the inoculation point which meant that my next…

each patient’s room and the convenience of a sink at the entrance of each patient’s room. Noncompliance of hand hygiene by the healthcare workers can lead to the spread of deadly hospital acquired infections such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus from staff, to patients, and visitors to the healthcare facility. The reasons for noncompliance of hand hygiene by healthcare workers include: high patient to nurses ratio, inadequate training, and lack of motivation. Nurses at my…

“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…

Antibiotics- What’s the Alternative? Whether you run an established organic dairy, are looking to convert to organic dairying or are a conventional farm battling resistant pathogen strains, effectively treating mastitis without the option antibiotics is a major concern. While antibiotics are the accepted and mostly preferred treatment route, their use in organic animals is prohibited and their overuse or incorrect administration has resulted in the emergence of pathogen strains that are…

The fenicol groups of antibiotics are one of the generally utilized medications which are wanted to treat sicknesses relating to respiratory and digestive systems. These days, these gatherings of antibiotics are utilized as a part of veterinary prescription adequately. Fenicol gathering of anti-microbials incorporates a few regularly utilized medications like chloramphenicol and florfenicol. As of late, utilization of florfenicol has been expanded on account of its wellbeing in nature when…

regulating the immunological and physical barriers of the airway epithelium is Ca2+. The participation of Ca2+ as a second messenger is vital to numerous physiological processes The common respiratory bacterial pathogens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, activate 100 nM Ca2+ fluxes immediately upon contact with airway epithelial cells, and this Ca2+ signal initiates the activation of proinflammatory signaling events…
