A General Review of Tetracyclines Antibiotics Chang Liu Instructor: Prof. Jasson Sello Department of Chemistry‚ Brown University Providence 02906‚ RI Tetracyclines are the first broad-spectrum antibiotic to be applied to clinic use. Nevertheless‚ the increasing incidence of bacterial resistance of tetracyclines led to a series of studies on the development of semisynthetic tetracyclines to circumvent the resistant organisms. In order to better design the structures of tetracycline derivatives

0314 Biofilms in Chronic Wounds: Current Research and Future Direction ABSTRACT Chronic wounds continue to be a significant healthcare problem. Although myriad factors have been implicated in impaired wound healing‚ recent research has focused on the role of matrix-based bacterial communities called biofilms that are often associated with chronic wounds. Various in vitro and in vivo models have been developed to study the role of biofilms in non-healing wounds. Basic science and clinical

The Relation of Antiseptics and Bacteria Growth Purpose: To explore the effectiveness of different levels of concentration of antiseptic and antibacterial products’ prevention of bacterial growth. Question: Amongst common household products‚ which antiseptic and level of concentration is more effective at inhibiting the growth of bacteria? Introduction: Antiseptics are antimicrobial substances used on living tissue to reduce the possibility of infection‚ putrefaction or sepsis. The word “anti”

IDENTIFYING GRAM POSITIVE COCCI As mentioned in Exercise 8‚ “Identifying Gram Negative Rods”‚ identifying bacteria is a common activity in the microbiology lab. Like the game Clue™‚ each time you gather a piece of information to solve the mystery‚ you gather some information that supports some identities and eliminates others from contention. In the lab‚ the process continues as you gather more information until only one microbe remains and all others have been eliminated as possibilities. Thus

ABSTRACT Antibacterial activity of medicnal plants has turned out to be a global concern. Medicnal plants are very useful in treating various diseases. Antibiotics are an important class of pharmacological agents used for treating antibacterial infections. Although antibiotics were first isolated from fungi and bacteria but over the years more and more synthetic antibiotics has been synthesized‚ which are in great demand. This present study has been done to determine the antibacterial activity of

MICROBES AND FOOD – A ‘RELATIONSHIP’ Microbes and food have always had a love-hate relationship. Food producers have learned to harness their power -- and sometimes for good use. There is no doubt that organically grown fruits and vegetables are superior in flavor. Now‚ despite arguments to the contrary made by food manufacturers‚ they may well be more nutritious for a variety of reasons. There are always studies available to prove any point‚ especially one
