Researchers have identified the activity of Silver NPs exerted the antibacterial effect in two steps. First‚ they changed the membrane potential and reduced adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase activities‚ thus reducing the metabolism process. Secondly‚ they declined the subunit of the ribosome for tRNA binding‚ thus collapsing its biological mechanism. At the same time‚ they proved to be less toxic to mammal cells [26]. Silver NPs with a small size and enhanced surface area produce some electronic

Antibiotic Case Study 1. I would ask the patient if she uses any feminine or hygiene products. Besides pain‚ have you had any other symptoms? 2. I would expect the patient to have a urinalysis done. The presence of WBC’s‚ leukocytes esterase‚ nitrates‚ or bacteria indicates UTI. (Pagana‚ Pagana‚ 2010 pg. 1021) A urine culture and sensitivity test can be done as well. This test will indicate a specific bscterium that is present in the patient’s urine. A blood sample will probably be taken as well

In the 1940s antibiotics were widely introduced as a cure for common types of diseases. However‚ some of the diseases started to build up a resistance to the antibiotics and in result‚ the antibiotics became ineffective. In order to help resolve the crisis‚ antibiotics were found through screenings of soil microorganisms. However‚ soil microorganism’s antibiotics were depleted by the 1960s and their antibiotic effects were unable to be replicated through synthesis. In this experiment‚ the researchers
