MERSA According to the National Center for disease control and prevention‚ Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus is a type of staph infection that is resistant to the usual antibiotics that are effective in treating other types of staph ("CDC - Definition of MRSA | MRSA Infections"‚ 2010). Sometimes antibiotic resistant infections are called super bugs. This essay attempts to discover how it happens‚ how it can be prevented and possible treatments available. What about the body’s immune

In previous studies effective protection against tetracyclin was obtained (18) and also confirms that the Agrobacterium tumefaciens have the sensitivity to many antibiotics including tetracyclin and kanamycin (19). Antibiotic resistance means the abililty of a microorganism to withstand the effects of an antibiotics(20).

pathogen that causes many types of severe diseases. Most commonly it causes skin infections‚ respiratory tract infections‚ and food poisoning. In the 1940s‚ when the antibiotic medications such as penicillin was discovered and introduced‚ it became a primary treatment for S. aureus infections. However‚ misusing and overusing the use of antibiotics caused the evolution of these bacteria to become resistant to drugs that were designed to combat these infections. Throughout 1950s‚ S. aureus became resistant

Community-acquired MRSA causes localized disease and predominantly primary skin and soft tissue infections (Vandenesch and Etienne‚ 2004). This form of MRSA is susceptible to antibiotics and has the same risk factors for acquisition/disease as nietliicillin-susceptibie S. amem (MSSA). Community-acquired MRSA shares similarities with MSSA owing to the presence of mecA; the gene that encodes the methicilliji-resistant penicillin-hinding

Introduction Osteomyelitis is an ancient disease dating back to 460 BC (Schmitt‚ 2017). It is a bone infection‚ usually caused by bacteria‚ that can be either acute or chronic. This condition usually occurs as a result of an infection in one part of the body that is transported through the bloodstream to a bone in a distant location. Most cases stem from Diabetes because bacterial infections are a large risk factor for the diabetic patient due to high glucose levels weakening the immune system.

The vengeance used against us is caused by an existing organism called necrotizing fasciitis‚ the so-called flesh-eating bacteria‚ caused by Group A streptococcus. What this organism does is progressively destroy the human body tissue all the way to the bone. This organism has amazingly outsmarted us of even our most potent drugs. In our community right now‚ medical researchers are testing antibiotics that may

Background The use of antibiotics have effectively prolonged life expectancy and are currently one of the most commonly prescribed drugs in healthcare facilities worldwide1. Unfortunately‚ widespread use and misuse worldwide have led to the emergence of ‘super bugs’ and other drug-resistant bacteria2-4. Excessive and inappropriate use of antibiotics contributes to the development of bacterial resistance5-7‚ an increased

The Effect of Acetyltransferases on 2 different strains of E. coli Introduction Scientists have recently discovered that resistance to antibiotics may not be such a new thing. Evidence of bacteria samples in Canadian permafrost proposes that these resistances have been around for at least 30‚000 years (Luiggi 2011). In our required pre-lab reading‚ we learned tuberculosis is becoming increasingly drug-resistant‚ giving proof that bacteria can adapt to necessary changes in order to survive (Barry
