After the discovery of antibiotics in the early to middle 1900s, many people, including 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…

Wrestling is the Most Dangerous Sport “The better you eat the better you compete and the better you’ll be able to go out there and train and go out there and win it”(Burroughs).Most people think football is the most dangerous sport; some people agree some people disagree. Wrestling is the most dangerous sport because of physical injuries suffered after wrestling which include concussions, skin diseases, and eating disorders. Most wrestlers have had at least two to three concussions in their…

Antibiotics (AB) are widely used medicines to treat both life-threatening and trivial infections. Their erroneous use increases the risk of bacterial drug resistance (1). Medications administered inappropriately not only leads to wastage of resources but also carries potential serious and life-threatening adverse effects for the users (2). Resistance to antimicrobial drugs by the microorganism is increasing due to improper use of antibiotics. Microbial resistance is one of the major issues of…

Many bacterias are present without us realizing it. Bacteria that are present and ready to reproduce can cause problems in our daily lives at any rate. Mascara users are at risk from contaminants that may exist within their mascara wands or tube of mascara. Without proper care, bacterias will grow within the walls of the tube and cause many issues to users in the long run due to reapplying the product on a daily basis. “That mascara wand can do more than just make your lashes longer; it can…

Opening: Urinary tract infections have been known to be causing a lot of trouble in daily activities for both gender. Nevertheless, in this particular article, we will only find out more about urinary tract infection in men. So, what is urinary tract infection, what are the risks, as well as the preventives and treatments of it? The article below will give further information on this matters. Body: What is a urinary tract infection? A urinary tract infection is the consequence of the bacteria…

The lifesaving drug do not work as well as they once did”. Our body gets used to it and the surviving bacteria evolve and pass down their genes generation to generation. “treating common infections becomes more difficult”. Right now the season is winter, and this is when we are most prone to biotic infections. Antibiotics “can cause more harm than good”. It risks us getting antibiotic-resistant in the future. In an article “pencrtration of brain abscess by systemically administered antibiotics”…

1. Introduction and Literature Review 1.1 Introduction: More than 200 different species of bacteria normally live on the skin (Benbow, 2010) and an open wound provides a moist, warm and nutritious environment perfect for microbial colonisation and proliferation (Young, 2012). When one or more microorganisms multiply in the wound, local and systemic responses occur in the host, which can lead to infection and a subsequent delay in healing (Angel et al., 2011). Cutting (2010) mentioned that…

Comparison of Catheter-associated Urinary Tract Infection Rates by Perineal Care Agents in Intensive Care Units. Asian Nursing Research, 142-150. Intro: The authors of this study explored the efficacy of preventing catheter-acquired urinary tract infections by using a sampling of four different perineal care products on catheterized women in an Intensive Care Unit setting in Korea. ROL: The authors of…

One of the largest reasons for death during this period was caused by diseases. Bacterial diseases such as, staphylococcus and streptococcus, claimed the lives of many. Troops would dig trenches to hide from enemies, they had to get used to spending long periods of time in the trenches with disembodied parts. As an example of this it was essentially a breeding ground…

bacteria that can harm us. They then go into detail on the discovery of the first medications that were used to kill the bacteria that were harmful to us. The first discovery was an accident by Alexander Fleming in the late 1920’s. After leaving some Staphylococcus in a Petri dish, he noticed that some mold had killed this bacterium. He ended up naming this Penicillin, which came from the name of the mold that had killed the bacteria. Although he did not understand exactly how the mold was…
